You can possibly qualify for permanent residence through marriage to a US citizen but the social security card has no relevance to that. if you entered the US lawfully and you are in a bona fide marriage to a US citizen, your spouse can petition you for permanent residence and you can apply for adjustment of status. Once it is granted, you will be eligible for a SS card that does not have that conditional language on it.
