They won't process your SSN after you are married and they wont process your SSN if your I94 is about to expire so if you are going to apply before marriage you must do it at least two weeks before your I94 expires on day 90 after your arrival in the US 

We are already married...and we are just gonna get SSN tomorrow Friday. does this means I won't be able to get no SSN?

Are you in a hurry to get the SSN? You can request one when you fill out the EAD or I-765.

Not sure about not being able to apply after marriage, all I know is I had a hard time getting my SSN, it took me almost 2 months.

Had I known, I would've not wasted time getting it in advance.

Does this mean we can skip it for now coz everyone I talked to about SSN They got theirs two weeks after their arrival here and it was already too late for me coz I am already married. I just am one month over with the two weeks time they were saying. Am not sure I am totally confused. Where should I focus now... is it the AOS and just wait for the SSN later?

You will have to apply for your SSN on the I765 now because you are already married. That means that you will not be able to get health insurance or a bank account or other things like that until your EAD is approved in 4 to 6 months from AOS application. Also this means that you will have to hurry and apply for those things after you get your SSN as you should have them as joint evidence supporting your bonafide marriage for your AOS interview.

The best way to do it is apply the SSN with your EAD once you file for AOS.

I am not in a hurry to get SSN... I just don't know which one should be my priority right now coz tomorrow my husband and I will get SSN... I am planning to sort the Forms after thanks giving and I will submit the AOS and EAD all at once.

I wouldnt bother to go to the SSA. You wont be able to apply in your married name as it does not match the name on your I94 or passport.

I didn't know that its all a catastrophe coz all we were worried about before what just getting married and not thinking of other legal documents that we should do. is it possible to send my application all together the AOS and EAD?

Yes, you should apply EAD with your AOS. Once you start filling out the forms, you will see in Form I-797 a box asking if you need to request your SSN. Just answer yes.

You will have it figured out. I think you have mostly of the supporting documents in your hands since we had them before we came here. Print your I-94 also, you need to send copies along with each form.

 

Just follow the list I sent, if you have questions feel free to ask. So far I didn't get an RFE yet so figured I filed them correctly. I am just waiting for my interview now. My status said it is ready to be scheduled. Just hoping it will soonest

Nope, you didnt. I don't think so. I actually hated that I applied for SSN first. For some reason our office here is not familiar with the process even if the first time I went there, I specified that it is under K1 (its not everyday they have to process K1. Had to go back to the office after waiting over a month to talk to another officer and stressed again that its a K1 process-got it a week later. I also wanted to change my name when I went there,bringing with me my marriage cert but they said NO-I didn't wanna argue with them anymore. So I would need to go back there again once I get my GC or EAD card to change my name. 

 

This delayed my AOS filing I have to wait for my actual SSN to arrive so I can put my SSN nos in the forms.

I applied my K2's SSN thru EAD, btw.

Do you have health insurance now though because you got your SSN?
