I need some clarification about the green card. My wife just had her interview and she is being issued a green card. I was informed that I could go back to the SSN office and get her a new SSN without the DHS work disclaimer. Does this mean she can legally work in the USA now?

The reason I ask, is I did file a I-765 (The EAD) and it's still in process. So is the EAD no longer needed since she'll be getting her green card now?

Correct. GC trumps EAD. She can legally work as soon as she gets the gc. Congratulations!

Yup GC allows her to work. the EAD is in place so that persons can work while waiting on the GC, but if th GC comes first then the EAD is not needed
