You can apply i765 (work autorization) and i131 (advanced parole) together with your i485. No extra fees, would be free those two forms. So when you file i765 you can select box that you need SSN and you will get it without walking to the ss administration. I've got SSN by mail, didn't go to the administration

hey j2020. I only took my passport and my green card, and they issued me my social security card. waiting for it in the mail: they said within a week

@ Q q thank you my appointment is today and I am praying to get the card very soon. had my gc now over 2 weeks and can't work bcuz of this
