Hi, Apply at least 14 days after your fiance arrives up to a maximum of 72 days. If your fiance is not on the computer system when you apply, SSA will state it will take up to a further 4 weeks before they can verify you and issue a SSN. It took the SSA exactly a further 4 weeks to issue my SSN (from applying 15 days after I arrived in the US). I would advise, since you require the SSN for ID to get married, wait slightly longer than the minimum 14 days before applying - that way you stand a better chance of being on the system.
