Getting SSN card before ITIN is processed?

[EricLT 29]

What happens after sending in the w-7 with tax return but I get a green card and SSN card before ITIN application is processed? Will I need to amend my tax return with the SSN? I assume the w-7 application won't get approved since you can only have a SSN or ITIN.

From the IRS Publication 1915.

 

What steps do I have to take when I have an ITIN and become eligible for a Social Security Number?
Make proper application for a SSN and upon receipt advise the IRS in writing of your new SSN. Your correspondence should be sent to the address listed for filing your U.S. Federal income tax return. The new SSN will become the primary number and must be used for all future filing purposes. The IRS will void the ITIN. All prior tax information under the ITIN will be associated with the new SSN.

Hi we just applied the ITIN today with our tax return. Our AOS interview is scheduled 4 weeks away. About how long will it take to get the SSN after the interview? I'm just wondering if both process will interfere each other because the time frame will be close.
