We have an interview date on March 29th. We have read that once my fiance comes into the country, we must apply for a social security number and then also a marriage certificate. How long does that generally take? How soon after the date of entry can we have the wedding?

You must marry within 90 days of arrival in the US. How long it takes to get a marriage license will depend on the state you live in.

Yep, I would look into state requirements for the marriage license/certificate. We plan to marry in New York, and the wait time is 24 hours between the marriage license and the marriage certificate. About halfway down this page is a list of the wait times in the 20 states that have them.
