Hello

I have immigrated to USA 2 weeks back, based on CR1 visa stamping (green card) on my passport.

I am yet awaiting my physical green card.

Would like to know if I can go ahead and start working in USA based on this scenario.

Thank you

Puja

Yes you can, the stamp in the passport acts as a temporary green card. You need your SSN too though.
