I-90 in process - what to show for employment authorization? (Split)

[anna4614890 31]

Hi folks!

I have the same problem: entered after 2 years 1 week of marriage and green card came as a CR1. I filled the petition and already finished with biometrics. It's been 1 month of reviewing status. So I don't know for how long more it's going to take to receive a new card. I am in a middle of employment process right now and my question is - should I use my green card with wrong Cr1 status OR it will be better to use a stamp in passport only as a proof of residence? I understood that there are several options but just wanted to know can I use that green card or it's better not to show it anywhere?

Use your driver's license/State ID and SSN card.  Read the i-9 instructions for possible combination. 

 

better not to show it anywhere - in my experience, it is better to keep your immigration process to yourself, without ever pretending to be a citizen - just state that you are a Permanent Resident.  Show only what is required, when necessary.  Less is usually better.

I used the endorsed visa in my passport for my job. Wasn’t an issue, had to walk admin through the process. It was simpler to use the visa and passport as opposed to bringing passport AND green card to work.

If you already have state ID and unrestricted SSN, use that. If not, use the stamp on ur passport
