Will I be able to work while EAD pending?

[Angge 3]

Hello, my husband arrived here in the US last June 2019 under K1 visa. We got married the same month and filed and submitted his AOS and EAD on July 2019. We got his SSN the same month of filing AOS. Under his SSN card it says "valid for work only under DHS authorization". 
my question is, can he work while waiting for his AOS case?I viewed the USCIS website and have updated every time. 
thank you any input will help.

Work only upon approval of EAD or green card

Your husband will need to wait for his EAD to legally work.  The EAD is the DHS authorization that is required before he can legally work.

Thank you so much for the quick replies. At least it shed a light in our current situation. See, out of boredom he applied at a job recently and got an offer. When he showed the company his SSN card, they accepted it and still wanted him to work. That's why I got curious if he can take it because its tempting especially our current situation now, added income would definitely help. 
but like you said, we will just wait for his EAD card and pray it will arrive soon. 
Thanks all again for the replies much appreciated

If he can get the company to make a written job offer, he may be able to expedite his EAD.

The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). USCIS is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The notation on his SS card says that "valid for work only under DHS authorization," means that he needs to have either his EAD card or his Green Card (issued by DHS through USCIS), and his SS card to legally work in the US.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
