When can I apply for SSN card and Passport

[lyndelld]

My wife's I-130 was approved. I should get the paperwork in the mail in the next few days. I will have to file a I-485 to adjust to permanent residence.

My question is...at what point can I file for a SSN card and an updated U.S. Passport? Do I have to wait until the I-485 is complete or can I file now?

Are you a US Citizen? If you are you could have filed I-485 with I-130 together when I-130 was filed. You can only get a SSN after you file the I-485 and interviewed and get approved.
Updated US Passport? What US Passport? She just got approved for I-130 at this point.

Not true. If she files the I-765 with the I-485 she can get an SSN with the EAD.

That's also true BUT they probably can get the interview before they get a EAD.

Probably.
