Folks there should really be no impact of not updating your social security number right away, like literally none unless you are coming to a retirement age. In rare cases you do (employment, voting etc), You already have the NC and or Passport to prove that. 
 
You've already risked sending your NC for passport why you want to do that again? You can easily do so when they open up in six months to a year go in person. 
 
Unless you feel very adventurous and have an itch to juggle six knifes one fine day as show in TV with caption (Do not try this at home), go ahead and take your chances 😋

Personally, I'm not sending anything to SSA via mail. There is no deadline or impact of not updating your SSN. 
 
I'll go and update when they open up which should be late summer this year at worst.

Waiting for Passport Card and NC 🤞

No deadline.  You can send in your Naturalization Certificate or get your passport first and send that in.  I just did it and received the passport back in about a week.  Social Security offices are only accepting mail a few times a week even though they are open each weekday.  My recommendation is to get your US passport first and then send it to Social security with the Social Security form SS-5.  In the rare event it becomes lost, it's much cheaper to replace a US passport than a Naturalization certificate.
 

Update
 
it's been a week since I submitted a manual request via mail. When I check the status online now it says "we've received your request for passport book and card" instead of passport book only previously.
 
Looks like it worked but not counting my chickens before they're hatched. Wait to get both and NC in hand. 
 
Thanks @gregcrs2

My expedited passport application was received by the Passport Office on January 20. I received my new passport back via Priority Mail Express (I paid extra for this) on February 9.  I received my naturalization certificate back via regular first class mail on February 16.

What I am curious about is if a passport card ordered separately from a passport book will have a distinct expiration date.  It would be nice to be able have a valid passport card in my possession why renewing a passport.  My card and passport expire on the same day.  Please share your experience once you get both documents.  
 
Yes I got the passport card in part because it is convenient proof of lawful presence and also because I don’t have REAL ID from the dmv and will probably never have it.  A passport card let’s me through the TSA check point.  

Call them up.  I changed from normal processing to an expedite so I see no reason why you can't add a passport card by phone.  They take credit cards so it should be relatively easy.

After some looking around I found that I can apply for passport card on it's own using passport renewal form DS-82 which requires me to send in my new passport. 🤔
 

FYI husband got email that passport approved and being printed, they say it should arrive around 2/14.
Background: applied 01/05 (via usps), took about 3 weeks to show up on the passport status page. Pleasantly surprised that this is significantly faster than the 10-12 weeks they say routine processing will take.

Gee.  

Bad information in = bad information out.

Your wife did not receive her permanent residency on 5/2020.  That's when she got her 10 years card after she filed for removal of condition.  She received her permanent residency when she got her 2 years conditional green card.  Since you filed to lift those conditions in June 2019, then she got her first card around June 2017 to September 2017.  That's over 3 years ago.  She can file to naturalize now under the 3 years rule.

 

I'm sure others would chime in but here is my take.
 
If their system flags it during review they may ask you for evidence in which case you will send the proof (perhaps a copy of dad's passport or birth certificate). If they don't you go to the interview and mention it that you made a typo and provide the proof in the interview and IO will update it. 
 
I don't think you can edit an already submitted n400 application until interview. Mistakes happen and in this case it doesn't look like something that will disqualify you so don't worry. 
 
Good luck. 

Or you could take the view that the sooner she gets her citizenship, the sooner she can vote to help implement what she sees as right. Is it worth potentially missing the midterm elections waiting for them to change the questions, for example?  

No problem.
 
Police report may say it's your fault but read the USCIS question again. "Have you ever been cited, arrested or detained by law enforcement officer?" The answer is No. You didn't receive a citation by an officer where you had to acknowledge/sign on the spot nor did they detain you based on what you've described.
 
Again for peace of mind, please consult a lawyer.  You will be anxious after you submit the application no matter how you answer it because it's not cut and dry. Every time you think of your citizenship application this question will come to mind if you don't feel confident with your answer. 
 
Good luck. 

If the police determined it was your fault you would have been issued a citation. I'm assuming since they couldn't determine whose fault it is they just noted that down as accident or they just cut you some slack as you were sent to the hospital. Now I'm not a lawyer but that report looks more like for tracking incident and insurance purpose. 
 
So if I were in that situation I'd answer "No" because I wasn't cited/arrested or detained. 
 
If answering No doesn't sit right with you or you're not confident, grab a copy of a police report and ask a competent immigration lawyer for their opinion. Won't cost you more than few hundred bucks at most for an hour. 
 
Good luck. 

The consensus among these forums is you don't need to mention parking ticket or camera tickets but take the payment receipt (if you have them) along with driving record with you to the interview just incase. 
 
I didn't mention any parking/camera tickets as no police officer was involved in issuing a citation.
 
Good luck to you. 
 

You only get current year + 3 years worth of tax transcripts online or via mail but there is an option to request longer duration. I've made it a habit of requesting transcripts every two years just because I can and for my records (have a google calendar notification).
 
Directly from the horses mouth. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript-faqs  Also you can take the tax return you submitted for the years you don't can't tax transcript. That could work as well. I took all 5 years of tax transcript as I applied with 5 year rule and wasn't asked to show any but that highly depends on the IO.
 
Good luck. 
 
Q12. How do I request a transcript for an older tax year when it’s not available online?
Tax return and record of account transcripts are only available for the current tax year and three prior tax years when using Get Transcript Online. Note: There is a “show all +” expand button below the online tax account transcript type that may provide additional tax years you need. Otherwise, you must submit Form 4506-T to request a transcript for a tax year not available.
Tax return and tax account transcripts are also limited to the current and prior three tax years when using Get Transcript by Mail. However, you may be able to get older tax account transcripts by calling our automated phone transcript service at 800-908-9946. Otherwise, you must submit Form 4506-T.

Number won't change, SS number not necessary for passport.
 
Satus change with SS is basically for SS benefits.
 
 

You keep the same SSN.
if you had a permanent green card before it shouldn’t even have that notation on it. Mine doesn’t.

Looks correct the way you have it. Paying the ticket means you accept/acknowledge the citation that you were speeding and paid the penalty. 
 
Here is what I did and it worked for me. 
 
Q - Why were you arrested cited, detained, or charged? 
A - Traffic ticket for speeding.
 
Q - Outcome or disposition of the arrest, citation, detention, or charge (no charges filed, charges dismissed, jail, probation, etc.)
A - I paid the traffic ticket. 

As mentioned above, you need to select "Yes" to "have you ever been arrested, cited or detained.."  if you have traffic citations. At the end it will ask you to upload proof.
 
If you have the receipts that shows you've paid the tickets you can upload it along with your driving record or if you don't want to upload you can just mention that you paid the ticket (which is what I did) and take receipts and your driving record to the interview. IO will ask to see proof that you've taken care of the tickets. 

In order of most to least competent when it comes to not losing critical documents  there  are 4 agencies involved:
 
Passport office. 
USCIS
USPS
SSA
 
The passport office is used to handling old passports, green cards, naturalization certs, citizenship certs, CRBAs, etc and thus has processes for reducing the chance that these documents will be lost.  
 
USCIS normally doesn’t deal with original documents by mail but in my experience they tend to not lose these documents when they receive them. For example I know a couple that sent an original foreign birth certificate with an AOS and when they told me, I face palmed.  Fortunately they messed up their I-864 and so the original birth certificate was returned.  
 
However USCIS is inept at processing changes of addresses.  Hence green cards, combo cards, and other USCIS mailings like interview notices get sent to the wrong address all the time.  
 
Possibly because of their role (contract which equals critical revenue) USPS tends to not lose mail sent to or sent from the passport office.  But documents involving USCIS are routinely lost or mis delivered.  Documents from SSA do get reliably delivered.  There is evidence that there are USPS workers that deliberately lose or mis deliver USCIS documents and there is evidence that post masters are unable to fire incompetent or malicious carriers except for those caught red handed by federal law enforcers.     
 
Now we get to SSA.  
 
SSA is optimized for two things: in person interactions to apply for new SS cards for children and making sure retirees get their checks.  Everything else it is inept at.  
 
With COVID, unlike other agencies, SSA has been unwilling to re-open.  This is understandable.  Most of the people who would walk into a local SS office are older and thus at higher risk to COVID.  SSA and the chain of command above SSA do not want SSA offices to become worse than retirement and nursing  homes as vectors for killing older residents of the USA.  
 
So now SSA is faced with verifying immigration statuses and it needs or thinks it needs original, hard to replace documents to do that.  And unlike the passport office, it isn’t set up to do that.  So we can imagine haphazard stacks of SS-5 applications and the critical documents all other the place with no room.  
 
SSA’s stupid info tech systems compound this problem.  For example; Enter the US on a k-1, wait two days, print your I-94, and before COVID go to SSA office to apply for an SS card.  And about half the time SS will say that their records don’t show lawful presence.  Despite the fact that CBP’s website says there is lawful presence.  So when an SS-5 is mailed in, if the SS worker cannot verify lawful presence, the case gets set aside, which provides an opportunity for critical documents to be lost.  And the SSA and its workers don’t care. Because COVID.  
 
And these people at SSA actually demand an LPR send a green card to get a SS card. Think about that for a minute: it is against federal criminal  law for LPR’s to not carry a green card on their person.  So SSA is demanding LPRs break the law.  
 
SSA is also no good at issuing SS cards automatically to new immigrants and EAD holders.  
 

Did he apply for his passport first? Does he have his US passport? Did he make a photo or electronic copy of his naturalization cert before mailing it off?
 
Sending my naturalization cert to SSA would have been a hard no.  I don’t need my SS record updated that badly.  
 
The same is true of my wife’s SS record now that she has her green card.  Not gonna happen on my watch. 

Just an update. I applied in Feb 2020 and I'm going to be done with my Oath this month. Interview was early this week in DC area. Took almost a year (1 month shy) and I find myself lucky to get an interview despite the pandemic that started a month after I filed. 
 
Good luck all. I hope you get your interview/oath ceremony soon. 
 
Cheers!
