when i eventually (fingers crossed) get approved. i'm hoping not to be stuck at home all day doing nothing for three or four months waiting for aos and ssn and ead. i would also like to get back into the industry that i was trained in. in england the best way to find a job in fashion design, is unpaid work experience for a couple or more months normally.

so my question is, even for unpaid workexperience do you need ead stamp and ssn number aswell?

thanks in advance

My understanding is that unpaid work is not allowed. You can do volunteer work as long as it's not a position that normally would be paid. You can give out coffee at the Red Cross Blood Bank, but not at Starbucks.

That's right. You can't do a job for no pay that someone would normally get paid for. You can do 'real' voluntary work though, such as for charities etc.
