Just a quick question.................i have recently been married to a USA citizen and im currently filling out the necessary forms, basically what i need to know is do i need to have the medical form filled by a doctor? i hear that because of the waiting time for the i-485 interview to file all the other forms and wait until the notice for the interview to have the medical done?and also, is it correct that i get an SS number with my EAD approval?...i need the SS number so my wife can sign the bills over to both our names
SS number and medical exam?

Although you can do a medical later after you receive a RFE from INS, it does not take much longer than usual to do it now. Assuming that your I130 approval comes before 12 months a medical done now will still be valid when your 485 becomes current.
SSN has to be applied with SSA (see the white telephone book) but you need a approved EAD in your hand before you can apply for a SSN.
However you can get a ITIN (see IRS seb site) which can be used in subsitution for SSN.
