My wife arrived in the USA on Dec. 19 and neither the SSN card nor the Green Card has arrived as of yet. We plan to go to the SocialSecurity Administration tomorrow if the SSN isn't here. Question:

 

Can she use her CR1 visa with the I 155 stamp to apply or do we need to wait on the Green Card to arrive? 

 

We thought it automatically comes because we checked the appropriate box on the DS260 but lots of people are saying they ended up havingto go to the Social Security Administration.  Thankyou for your help.

Yea her endorsed visa is a green card for 1 year after entry.  Read the visa.

It can take up to 3 weeks to arrive.  But many have to go get it.

Sometimes it is hard to get the SSN without the physical green card.  Unless there is a reason to get it asap just be patient for a week or two more.
