    How long to wait after green card before eligible for benefits?

    That is not 100% accurate. The sponsor would not be responsible if the GC holder gets the citizenship. Anyways, if the GC holder applies for food stamps and assistance, the government may go after the sponsor to collect the money

    Baby passport

    That will be very difficult to do. First, you need a birth certificate which may take a couple of weeks to get. Then, you need to apply for the passport and even the expedite process is about 4 weeks. You should plan to travel about 2 months after the baby is born.

    Social security number

    Same here. My wife got her SSN when she got her EAD. And we just used that number on next tax return. I asked an IRS guy and they said that when they recieve your tax forms they check new SSN against SSA and if it matches they update their records.

    Social security number

    I guess I guess I was because the letter says I will get the card. It does not mention any additional verification. I went there almost 6 weeks after getting my GC so I assume my information was already in their system.

    Namecheck I got approved after 10 months of RD. I also was briefly stucked in namecheck, but was waiting for anniversary before contacting any congressman. I think it is best to wait 1 year because before that your case may not look that stronger and because you can't really say you are STUCK...
