SSN CARD

[ziggy1977 3]

Guys my fiancée receive her ssn card today.

there's a stamp on the card "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION"

does this mean she can work?

I did some research and looks like she can..

I read this on the SSA.GOV website...read below

(The second type of card shows your name and number and notes, “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION.” We issue this type of card to people lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis who have DHS authorization to work.)

please confirm or anyone else in the same situation.

You need DHS authorization to work. You do not have DHS authorization yet.

To get DHS authorization, you need to apply for your Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Once you have it, you will be allowed to work.

No.

See . 9, List C, Item 1 of Form I-9.

To work legally in the US, one must have in one's possession something from List A or from List C (with something from List B to prove one's identity). So the EAD, for example, is in List A.

Once she receives her EAD she will be able to work. The EAD is the DHS authorization to work.

Once she receives her green card she can apply for a new SS card with the annotation removed.
