uscis After entering States; what should we apply for now

[Hopefully18 7]

Hello, i am extremely grateful for the help of this community. 
 

i have entered states and the receipt number on USCiS tracker shows that my greencard is being produced. My question is: 

will they send the social security with it? Or do i need to apply for that somewhere ? 
 

can i apply for drivers license in florida state before greencard is received? 
 

Are there any other important form or application which we should submit now?

If you marked the box on the DS-260 to receive a Social Security card, then it should be sent to you automatically. If not, then you will have to apply for the SS  card at your local SSA office.  You should receive your Green card and SS card in a few weeks to a few months.  You could apply for a driver's license using your passport.

Your Social Security card will come separately from the Green card.  My wife received her SS card 11 days after arrival.  Her Green Card arrived 2 or 3 weeks later.

Read the Florida DMV site as it tells you what to do

It also says you need 2 documents (and list acceptable ones) that show your address in Florida for proof you live there

Your foreign passport with the CR-1/IR-1 visa and CBP stamp showing date of entry to the US serves as a green card for one year from date of entry.  Florida also requires a Social Security card to get a driver's license, so you'll have to wait for that to arrive before applying.  You'll also need two documents showing your Florida residency, like proof of insurance or utilities showing your name and Florida address.  If you don't have two acceptable proof of Florida address documents, you can have your US spouse complete a notarized "Certification of Address" form on your behalf and submit that with two documents showing your spouse's proof of Florida residence and your marriage certificate.  Good luck!
