Seeing as it seems you need one for just about anything like opening a bank account to learning to drive, just how long on average will it take to get one?

As a K-3 you first need to be issued an EAD card. Then go to an SSA office to apply. The amount of time to be assigned an SSN an issued a card will depend on the amount of time it takes to verify your work authorized status. If it can be done through SAVE while you are in the office the SSN should be assigned the day after the office inputs the information and you should have you card within two weeks.

If you can't be verified through SAVE and the office sends a Form G-845 to immigration for verification you can be waiting weeks or in some cases months.
