You will need to file EAD ( I-765 ) Before you can apply for SSN, you will not be able to get SSN until your receive your EAD card , I suggest you file EAD ASAP if you don't think you will get GC approval with in 90 days.

If you completed medical in PI then it was already submitted with your Applicattion you should be ok.

All you need to do is get married and file AOS I-485, along with your I -765, & I-129F filed on your behalf

K-3 visa holder needs EAD or green card before can get SS card.

See the AOS and SS card guides, it will walk you through the process.

Hmmm I arrived here in the U.S. last June on my K3 visa and filed immediately for AOS last July..

Then the next step is to complete the vaccination (the Td shot was not given in the Phils). We scouted for a designated civil surgeon (the list is in the USCIS website) nearby our place. Take note, the fees they charge may vary a lot- from $50 or less to a whopping $350!!! You will have to inquire through phone from the list. Some (at VisaJourney) say that only a transfer of the immunization record is required, and no further Physical Exam is needed as you had yours at St. Luke's. But some of the designated surgeons wont agree to this. They will ask for another HIV and Syphilis test and a tuberculin test in addition to doing another P.E. and giving the TD vaccine. As for me, I agreed to having the P.E. done again (for $150) and my TD shot done (another $50+), as I thought (from a M.D.'s point of view) that it would be silly for a M.D. to just transfer immunization data from one form to another and affix his signature.

The medical exam and immunization record given by the designated civil surgeon (this will be in a sealed envelope) will be submitted together with the other documents (including the I-864) when applying for adjustment of status. I-485 can be downloaded from the USCIS website.You may apply for EAD and I-485 simultaneously if you want, you send both in one package.
