Please do fill in your timeline. The guidelines probably do explain, but I can quickly answer your specific questions. The SSN card should arrive in the next two to three weeks. If it doesn't, you'll need to go into a Social Security Admin office and apply directly. You have to wait two to three weeks first as you won't be in the system and they won't be able to confirm until then whether or not a card was produced for you yet.

The green card can arrive anywhere from two weeks to a few months.

Thank you for the reply ! Do I need to file additional papers to get my SSN or Green Card or should I just wait for 3-4 weeks to get my SSN and GC? Please let us know.

Thank you again !

Since you checked that you want them to arrange the SSN, there's nothing you need to do unless the SSN card doesn't show up in a few weeks. Then you would have to go into a Social Security Admin office.
