SSN

[ManefMelissa 3]

I got to the US the 26th August with my IR1 visa and still waiting for my Social Security card to the mailbox , I went to the office this morning and the agent told me that im ineligible to work and need to ask the consular about the i94 form.

So i fill out the social security form online and will come back to them. 
 

Can someone would clarify to me the situation?

Can I apply for a jobs with my pport and the I551 stamp on it ?

permanent residents do not have I-94 issued. It is only for non-immigrant visa holders so that person was misinformed… did they refuse to process your SSN application?

Absolutely. You are a lawful permanent resident (LPR), you can work and travel with the I-551 stamp (which is the same as the plastic GC).

Ask for a supervisor, or go to a different SSA office.  Bring a print-out of this SSA policy page -- https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110211025

 

If you encounter another misinformed SSA employee who doesn't know what a temporary I-551 is, highlight the part on the policy page that says --

 

Aliens who submit evidence of LPR status are issued unrestricted SSN cards (without a legend) provided the evidence requirements for an SSN are met.

[...]

 

Acceptable evidence of LPR status

Yes, if the company will hire you.  They can't put you in their pay system until you have a SSN..  Were you on Jim Hacking's show today?

I have some jobs interviews and Im not sure if i need only the number or the card its self to show , do i need only my number to open the bank account or i need also showing the card that doesn’t come yet ? 
do i need to prepare the I9 form for my interviews?
