When you enter at your POE, it could take a couple of weeks to get into the SS system. We opted to wait until my wife applied for AOS so we wouldn't have to go back and get her name changed on the card.

There's more info here:

We had the card in hand 1 week after visiting the SSA office. Wait at least 2 weeks after entering the country to allow USCIS to update the system about entering the country and then apply for the number.

We waited until about a week after marriage to file for SSN so that the name on the card would be in married name, some SSA offices may give a hassle about issueing the number to a K-1, just print out the pages suggested in the guides.
