The officer could've mistyped your name. Try removing some letters. If you can't get it. You need to get it fixed.

Most SS officer won't issue a SSN with a married name, because that's not the name in their system. Apply with maiden name, and after getting married, try to change it. If they don't do it. You need to wait for EAD to change it, but definitely apply for it asap.

You can fill out the G-1145 so you can get electronic notifications (text, email) of your case, but the other two are not needed since you came in with a K1.

That’s the exact reason why you go before.  You need to apply for the SSN in the name of your passport and i94. It has to match Homeland records.

 

After marriage, you go back to update the name.

I-94s are electronic.......You have 90 days from date of US entry to marry per your K-1.  After 90 days inside the US, you are also "out of status"...married or not....you have no legal status.........but once you file the I-485, you will be granted "authorized stay".......not a legal status, in itself, but your stay will be authorized while the I-485 is being adjudicated.   If filed with the I-485, there is no fee for the I-131 and I-765.

Please note:  get a printout of the I-94.  The SSA will tell you that they won’t issue a SS# to a K-1 (bring a print out of their own office guidelines which say...”yes, you do!” And ask for a supervisor if necessary. Even though your passport is stamped with the date your I-94 expires, that isn’t enough for the SSA...it will take 3 minutes to print out the I-94 online and it will save you wasting 2 hours of your life...there is a spot on the form the SSA fills out that requires the I-94 information/number.

I strongly advise to drop everything and head to SSA office right now and apply for SSN today!, it is still early in CA. SSN is the most vital document  you will have outside of EAD/GC that will not come until months later, and you only have a very narrow window to apply for it.

For AoS you will need following: 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-485

https://www.uscis.gov/i-864

https://www.uscis.gov/i-765

https://www.uscis.gov/i-131

https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145
