K1 entry to the US but missed social security number deadline

[WorkingMan 0]

I didn't know that one can get the social security number immediately.

 

There's more than 3 weeks before the end of I-94 but the local social security office said it's too late.  (The regulation says 14 days).

 

What can we do?  When can we apply for the number again?  After the adjustment interview?

 

I was a fool not to know this but others probably made the same mistakes.

Was Form I-485, Form I-765, Form I-131, etc. already filed? https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/flyers/EBE_Flyer_Apply_for_your_Social_Security_Number_While_Applying_for_Your.pdf

To save you a trip to the Social Security Office you can now apply for your SSN and card (SSN card) on the same application form you will use to apply for permission to work legally in the United States (U.S.). That application is the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. If USCIS approves your application to work in the U.S. and you completed the section on the application to request an SSN card, then USCIS will send SSA the data we need to issue your SSN card.

In process of filing all the forms.  How long will it take?  The same time as the adjustment process is totally approved?

About 8 to 11 months. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ So it's usually issued months before the Green Card interview.
