Hi! I hope I can help you.
 
I work at SSA not every employee knows how to process K1 applicants (sad true) 🤦🏻‍♂️, that said... The 10 days is to give the “SAVE” system time to update. SAVE is a program that comunicates with other federal agencys. SSA uses the SNAP program to create Social Security Number and this two systems communicate to create your social. SSA is in charge on selecting the number this process is called enumeration USCIS on the other hand is the one that grants work authorization. (Getting techincal I I know) 
 
Bottom line SSA has two front types employees they are called “CS” and “CSR”. The Claim Specialist(CS) don’t know much about enumeration they primary role is to take claims for Disability or Retirement benefits. Custumer Service Representative (CSR) are more adept on doing that because they got proper training with Enumeration.
 
(At least thats what is in the paper😂) 
 
You don’t need a Social to get married
 
You need a Social to get a Bank Acct
You need a Social to get Medical Insurance
 
I have seen people that wait the whole AOS process to get a SSN
I have seen people that wait to get a EAD Card from USCIS 
I have seen people that came straight from the air port to the office. 😂
 
Bottom line is: 
 
If you are a K1 Visa Holder you are entitled to a SSN with your maiden name. Because SSA have to issue the card from the visa that matches with the SAVE system. People try everytime to get the married name from the start and is a pain.
 
My advice is to wait to get the EAD card that comes with your marry name also don’t forget to bring your marriage lic and SSA can change your last name easy.
 
After you get your Residence comeback to SSA to update your SSN number and remove the work authorize only statement that will be on your first card. 
 
If you become a US citizen come again to the SSA office to update that as well with your naturalization certificate or US passport this helps a lot because when you request any service on any state or federal agency they know that you are a citizen. 
 
SSA is the center of data base of the Federal Goverment to keep taps on people. ( I think i have wrote a lot)✌🏻
 
I hope this helps clear your question and sorry for any misspelled words. 
 
Good Day🤗

I have to be honest with you my friend is not easy. The waiting time is hard but when I see all those people that applied before me and they are still waiting I say “Well I am not there yet to complain” 😅 I have seen a lot of people from august getting approved which is nice to know that we are just 3 months down the line of waiting🙃.
 
 
 
Hopefully we get our chance to be approved soon too. 

How a Government Shutdown Might Affect your Immigration Practice
Home » Resources by Issue » How a Government Shutdown Might Affect your Immigration Practice inShare Congressional authorization for government spending is set to end Friday, January 19, 2018. To avoid a Federal government shutdown, Congress would need to pass a temporary or long-term spending bill before midnight.
If Congress is not able to pass a spending bill today, certain government agencies would temporarily close or reduce operations. Generally, non-essential Federal employees would be furloughed, but operations related to national security and law enforcement would remain active.
Here is what you need to know about how the shutdown would impact immigration-related agencies and offices:
Department of Homeland Security
USCIS: USCIS is funded by filing fees, so the USCIS is expected to continue to process immigration applications as normal. Some field offices have already issued statements indicating they will maintain regular operations.

Hey! This is my team!!!!
 
I sent the petition on Nov 27 they got it on the Nov 30th (USPS) and they texted me on the 4th of December with the case number (USCIS). Now we are waiting for the paper confirmation on the mail which I believe is called the 797c. 
 
Is good to know that I am not alone is this journey. 
 
PS I new around here✌🏻

So it depends how strong is your initial application, I was looking a lot of profiles here and notice that most of them have RFE, thanks! 

RFE's are only for those who have not submitted all their documents in the initial application and some are for missing documents and others for missing information on the I-129f like a check box.
