A stepchild (ukrainian) in the US on IR-2 Visa. Can she get SS number and work permit?

Thanks!

Rick

I believe so, since she has an Immediate Relative(IR) 2 visa. My understanding is she becomes a permanent resident once she gets to the US (processed through POE) and waits for the actual card in the mail. Work permit is the GC, did the child get an I-551 stamp at her POE? If he/she has that on the passport then that's proof of being a PR. There should be no problem applying for SSN.
