My husband got his EAD about 2 months ago but we haven't applied for a SS card yet. He hasn't really needed one for anything so far and we just didn't feel an urgency to get one, especially when our interview was coming up so soon. My question is, will they take away his EAD at the interview? And if so, how do we then apply for a SS card?

They will take his EAD at interview if approved and you might have to wait until the greencard arrives if you choose that route. Or alternatley, just take the EAD down to the SS office before your interview and apply for your SS card, at least that way you know you have the card coming.

The only drawback to this is when his greencard comes you might want to drop back down to the SS office and have the "valid for work with DHS approval" removed.

If you don't use the EAD to get a SSN, you will need to take the Green Card to apply for the SSN.
