Today I recieved the e-mail with the approval of my husband's (the applicant) and my (the spouse) EADs. There has been also LUD on our I-131 applications but no change on the message.

What am I supposed to do now? Should I wait until I receive the EAD card to start looking for a job? Should I get a SSN first? Are ITIN # and SSN #? the same? Please, help me.
 
i am in similar situation, but my EAD is not approved yet,,, as far as i know u need to have EAD card to apply for SSN. when I called the SSN office she told me to wait for 3 weeks for the status to b updated in their systems and then apply for SSN. but i don;t think u have 2 wait for 3 weeks, call ur local SSN office for more info,,, n u cannot substitute ITIN with SSN,,, most employers ask for SSN once the offer is confirmed to do the background check... it might take a maximum of 3-4 weeks for u 2 receive EAD and get SSN after that,,, i think u can start giving interviews and if u get selected even before getting SSN u can always ask for little time to join quoting some reasons...
 
Thank you for the information alice, I'm already sending my resume. I hope everything goes smoothly!
