US Immigration from Canada

In NC where I am at, in order to get a marriage license I need to have a SSN.

For context, I'm Canadian, entered as a tourist in May planned to go back September 1, but my embassy still isn't open(I'm currently waiting on a K1 interview) and instead of going back as planned, I'm just going to get married and AOS here, and have some of my belongings shipped.

Now, obviously I won't be able to get one of those until I get my EAD in, so what happens about that?

Will they just be like 'oh you're Canadian? Okay NVM?!'

I am unsure where this goes.

Canada and the U.S. have agreed to extend current land border restrictions until Sept. 21, top border officials said Friday.

"We will continue to do what s necessary to keep our communities safe," Public Safety Minister Bill Blair tweeted of the countries' "reciprocal restrictions" designed to help fight the spread of Covid-19

For people who still have OSAP loans being paid off, how did that work when you moved to America. I m not keeping my Canadian bank account. Will they just withdraw the monthly payment from an American account?

So I just wanted to post this to help people on how me and my husbands interview was done in North Carolina. Our PD was 10/28/2019. We had 1 RFE for Canadian long form birth certificate and original interview was for 4/21/20 I think before being cancelled because of COVID-19. Interview was rescheduled for today, 8/14/20. We got there and there was almost no one in the parking lot, like 10 cars max. After security we were immediately sent to a room with 2 chairs facing a tablet. Our officer was on the tablet and told us he needed time to review our case before he began the interview and he told us we could chit chat with each other while he was muted, which we did lol. About 10 minutes later we started, he asked for my husband's B2 visa (which he doesn't have because canadians just get a stamp in their passport). He asked if we had any more evidence to submit and asked for the medical exam. He went through the I130 and I485 and then asked me like 4 questions, how did we meet and such and that was it. I wasn't expecting a digital interview in fact I hadn't heard anyone talk about it but this is how the office we went was conducting them. (We were allowed to take off our masks since we live together too)

Also the documents we submitted go into a folder in a box with other people's folders and the officers aren't allowed to touch them for 72 hours (COVID-19) so because of that they are not giving same day approvals, he said. I assume they need the signature at interview on the last page of the I485 as well as the medical exam before approving? Hopefully all goes well for us and this information helps someone. We got lucky and our officer was nice and he made us feel comfortable.
