Does anyone know if it's better to apply for a SSN after you receive your EAD or just wait for you to receive your GC?

It depends on what do you need the SSN for... because if you have the work permit, the SSN card you will get will still have the "Valid for work only with authorization DS" so whenever you get the green card you will have to go back to get the regular card.

Do you have an SSN yet? I'm asking because I did not get mine when I had the f1 visa, I already had from my previous j1-visa.

No, my husband doesn't have it yet and he's on the F-1 right now as a current graduate student. It seems like it would just be an extra/unnecessary step for him to apply after receiving the EAD. He should probably just wait until he gets his green card because he's a full-time student and does not work. Can't wait for that UNPAID internship, though! lol :joy:
