The K1 visa expired already. It expire the moment it was used to enter the US.

You can file for AOS whenever you're able to. The sooner, the better.

Go apply for a SSN now.

She could apply for an SS number based on the I-94 as soon as she got here. If you have a couple weeks left on the I-94, you should still be able to apply for it. If you really meant her I-94 expires on March 7th, you may be out of luck but I would still try and get one if you can. Here next window for applying is when she gets the EAD. You do know to apply for the EAD and AP with the AOS? They are free with the AOS and come much faster than the green card will.

a Social security # and what do we need as proof?

Thanks for all the help

Oops missed the proof. Valid unexpired I-94, her passport for an ID and the marriage certificate, is what we brought to get my wife's SSN. If the I-94 is expired or too little time is left, the EAD card will work.
