The greencard took 3 months for me- the SSN came much quicker.

Yes- they may want to see your passport with the visa and stamp.

Unlike a K-1, who has to adjust status after getting married in the U.S., somebody like you, who is already married and enters the U.S. with a CR-1 or IR-1 visa is a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) the very moment she is "admitted" at the airport. Since you'll have to wait a bit for the actual Green Card to arrive, you'll receive an I-551 stamp into your passport. I-551 is the code for Green Card and immediately you can do what every Green Card holder can do: get a driver's license, apply for a job, etc. No waiting needed.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
