I applied for a green card based on marriage to a US citizen. Will I be eligible for a Social Security number (SSN)?

Yes, you will be eligible for an SSN. After your application for employment is approved and you receive your EAD from the USCIS, you can go to your local Social Security office and file an application for an SSN. After you file your application for an SSN, the Social Security Administration should mail you your Social Security card within two to three weeks. Keep your SSN a secret, because otherwise you could become a victim of identity theft.
