Awesome that some of you have completed this process! Congratulations to the new American Citizens.
Alas, I spoke with a USCIS agent and the St. Paul MN office is currently working on February applicants and she said it could be another 4 months for me
She also said for this office it is a 8-9 month process start to finish.
Guess good things come to those who wait
Have a wonderful evening,

As I said, get thee to the SSA office nearest you after arriving and waiting the two weeks just to be safe. Apply for the SSN using the K-1 Visa, I-94, and foreign passport--you may want to take a long the BC just to be safe. Fill out the SS-5 form and wait. Take notes about your visit--day, time person's name did you ask for a supervisor and that person's name, etc--this is for the e-mail should you get any ####### about not being eligible for a SSN. If they say they cannot verify your husband's immigration status and want to to an inquiry with the USCIS, tell them you would rather not and leave and come back a few days later. That verification will take a month or more. After getting the application submitted, you can come back a few days later and get a printout of the actual number and begin using it--the card will arrive in a few days--just make certain your husband is receiving mail at your address. That one bite us as the USPS sent my wife's SSC back as she was not on the mailbox.
We filed for AOS with a SSN and put that on the application so I know what you want to do and have done it.
Good luck,
Dave
