Applied for SSN yesterday, preparing to send AOS/EAD today, do we need to wait for SSN to come in the mail before sending packet?

Hi all! Just a couple of questions, more likely for peace of mind as do think I'm overthinking things... 

• We applied for a SSN yesterday (after getting married at the court, woo hoo!), we've prepared all the paperwork for I-485 and I-765, planning to send the packet today. Will there be a problem that technically he has a SSN en route in the mail but left it blank on the forms as we don't know his number? 
• At the Social Security Office, the agent handed us back the paper and asked us to look over it. He seemed to had made a handful of mistakes despite my husband's handwriting being very clear. We marked it up and the agent looked flustered that there were so many mistakes, including that since my husband is applying while on a K-1 visa, he should NOT be eligible for work! We pointed this out as gently as we could (noticed that he was getting upset). The agent threw his hands up and exclaimed that the system sent it as my husband being ELIGIBLE for work and there was nothing the agent could do. Should we be concerned? Bad luck with getting stuck with this particular agent.

Thanks for any help!!

Well that's embarrassing, seems I misread the RM 10211.530 list. Guess I've been so overwhelmed with everything else :-( thanks for the clarification!

SSN isn't required to file for AOS, so go ahead and send the package.
