I entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa and wasn’t aware I needed to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) right after arriving. I’m now filing my I-485 for adjustment of status since the 90-day window to marry is nearly up. Can I still apply for an SSN after submitting my I-485, or will I need to wait until my green card is approved?

Currently your I-94 will show that it's expiring soon.  SSA will not assign you an SSN within XX days of the I-94 expiry.  Your best bet is to mark on your application that you want a SS card.  USCIS will notify SSA for you when they approve the EAD
