Oh this begs another question then, would the reason for the expedite be loss of profit for the company? 

No.   It’s a foreign company, correct?

Yep, it is.  And I honestly don't know what reasons could be given to expedite it.

We saved a lot of money by me getting the SSN right after I entered the US. I had my SSN just in time for tax times so we could file married jointly and get a larger refund. Would've been a much bigger PITA if I didn't have it already and had to mess around with ITIN and what not, the same way it would've been harder to deal with insurance companies, banks, DMV etc if I didn't have it. 

There's ZERO reason not to get it asap, unless you guys are ill and can't go to SSA in person, that could make it more difficult.

You can’t.   There is no national interest for the US in this context.

I appreciate you clarifying.  I was incredibly stumped as to what reasons I should request one.  Fine with not.
