How long after arrival to the US does my fiancé have to wait before applying for a US drivers license and social security card. Do we have to get married first?

SSN you can do pretty much right away I did it right after I got here. 
 

Drivers license depends on the stat you are in. Most states give a period you can drive with your DL from home. I was in GA got 30 days in my danish license and then I could not drive again until I got the EAD. So often on the K-1 there will be a period without being able to drive. 
 

cant see what visa you come on from my phone. But if it’s spouse visa then the stamp in the passport will be fine to show them.

As mentioned earlier, each state's driver license requirements are different. Here is a link to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Admin - how to get a Maryland Driver's License: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/drivers/apply/md-drivers-license.htm

 

This was found through a easy, simple Google search using the term "Maryland Driver's License". Google can also be your friend. :yes:

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
