Work authorization documents

[ryna 132]

Just a reminder to anyone who has recently immigrated to the U.S. and is looking for work, a lot of employers have no clue what does and doen't count as an acceptable document. Mine just told me that I ***MUST*** deliver to them ASAP a copy of my (U.S.) birth certificate AND my Social Security Card in order to continue working, even though they were given a copy of my unexpired U.S. passport (along with the I-9) 8 months ago when I started. Of course, they were wrong and just came back to admit as much but only because I told them I wasn't going to waste my time looking for those documents.

ANY unexpired List-A document (U.S. Passport, LPR (Green) Card, I-551 stamp, EAD, etc.) stands alone and does not require the presentation of any other document to establish work eligibility.

I just wanted everyone to know that we ALL go through this sometimes, even those of us who were born in the U.S.
