It appears you entered via a K-1.  You could have marked the I-485 or the I-765 to receive a SSN.  In fact a K-1, itself,  authorizes the holder to obtain a SSN.   The VJ K-1 flowsheet also addresses it.  I'm surprised the US spouse didn't help.

Do you have your EAD or GC now? 

 

Sadly it was your job to know what to file and apply for, you could have checked the box when you filled out your AOS forms. Sorry but this one falls on you and your spouse.

So weird it's not like I wasn't doing my research on the whole process... since everything is so complicated it's really difficult to know how much you have to go out of your way to look for stuff and not do things as they come,  in  certain order.  THere's no way I'm the only person whos in this situation nor they mention this on most k1 visa advice articles

EAD is your employment authorization. That should have been one of the forms I-765 you filled out when you applied for your adjustment of status. 

GC is the green card.

Stand alone Employment Authorization  EAD.  and travel Authorization. AP. Optional but recommended to file at the same time as the AOS.. no fee when co filed.. they are processed much faster than AOS and allow you to work and leave the country and report if needed before the AOS is completed

When you were filling out your AOS forms, there was a box on it that asked if you wanted them to apply for your SSN for you. 

 

 

I take it you did not follow VJ's guides and found some other site to follow. 

Here is the link check to the guides

On the I485 form. But as you have not completed the AOS process yet, you would still be  without the SS number. This only requires the SSA to process a SSN application appropriately when the 485 is approved

Not that it helps you now, but the guides and posts on bthis site give in depth step by step directions .. including on SSN, EAD and AP. Sorry.

“Who is responsible for informing aliens….”?   
 

YOU are 100% responsible for informing yourself.   It’s part of adulting.

It’s not that difficult.   Are you using sources like TikTok for your info on immigration?  If so, I strongly recommend that you use USCIS, the actual source.

 

And, social security is completely separate from USCIS and immigration.
