How long till hubby can work in US?

[amazngrace 3]

Hello Everyone, We are nearly through with everything and are starting to think mostly of our plans of what we will do once my hubby gets here. I know once he enters the US it will be apx. 30 days to get a SSN. However, what will he need to be able to work and how long will that take to arrive?

thank you for all your help, Blessings

SSN usually takes 2-3 weeks to arrive, and it, plus the stamp on the visa page in his passport which he will get at POE, and which acts as temporary greencard, are the only things he needs to work.

Ok so since he will get his stamp at POE then we just wait for his SSN and then he is free to start applying for work?

He can start applying the day he arrives. Most employers will want him to have his SSN before starting work, but as applications and interview take a while he should be fine. Technically he doesn't even need his SSN the day he starts work, but most employers won't hire without it.
