I also got mine yesterday in the mail. It has the restriction on it so I plan to wait a few weeks and then go back to get the restriction removed from it.
Yes I would wait. Things take so long.

I think it's better for you to get the process started now or possibly get it before your interview because you may need it for some types of jobs you may apply. It is going to be same number as I was told by the SSN office. I got the restricted one couples of days after my interview and had to use it for a job I applied to few days later. It takes up to 4weeks for them to generate the number even though I got mine in two weeks but you never know what's gonna happen. When you get your GC approval, you may or may not be given the I551 stamp with which you can apply for your SSN meaning that you will have to wait until you get your card.
Yes, it will have a restriction or condition which says "Authorized to work only with DHS approvall" printed across the face of the SSN card just above the number. Now when you get your GC or the I551 stamp you can go to have the condition removed from your SSN card. They will issue you another card of the same number but without that condition.
Just received my welcome notice in the mail today....
Thank you. I will be sticking around in my free times to see if there are some questions I could help someone with in appreciation of the assistance I got when I was going through my own process. I see your interview is coming up in January; it may seem too far away but the day will just come all of a sudden so you should begin getting all your documents ready. My wife was laughing at me cos I started like 5 weeks before our interview to get the documents together. I am one of those people that like to be thorough. I told her that I just wanted to make sure we had only one interview. So begin early to get prepared.
If I apply for my SS now through my EAD, will it make sense cosidering the fact that my interview will be in 6 weeks? I assume that I will have conditions on this SS or for that matter I am not even sure if it will be the same no. from when you get the GC and you apply. Trini, could you please share some light to this?
lol...I am so happy for You...I wish my case was over yet...I cant"t wait to post message like yours...good luck....
congratulations to you... would yo mind sharing your interview experience with us?....I am happy to report that I was approved at the interview today.
