Don't get stressed out. These AO's can detect a genuine marriage in 99.9% of the cases by observation alone. After all it is their profession. The initial questions are always from the G-325...so practise and memorize the trivial stuff- like names of In-laws, Birthdays etc. Also you should go...

The stamp on the passport is valid for one year compared to the I-551 validity of two years or (10 years). The SSN card issued based on your I-551 will not have the 'valid for work' only stamp. The only advantage that I can foresee with the stamp on the passport is that you don't have to...
