After mailing off our EAD, AoS, and AP forms I received correspondence for my biometrics appointment. After that we heard nothing until suddenly I received my PR card in the mail, as well as my approval letter. 

The letter with the card states I can now work in the US. Is the card indicative that I can work here legally now? I had anticipated a second document.

We had also expected another interview. We went through one before my approval to move from Canada, so perhaps since we did one it's not needed? Or is there more to come?

The letters we received made it sound like this was the end, but the more I read online, and in these forums, I'm just not sure.

 

TIA

If you have a valid Green Card, you will not need another document for work authorization.  You will, of course, need a SS card.  You got lucky...no interview.  Congratulations.

Congratulations!  I recommend visiting the nearest SSA office ASAP to get an unrestricted SSN card (ie, one without the notation "Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization").

Good Evening,

 

What you have received is your Green Card. As others have said get your unrestricted SSN card. This is the end of the road for 2 years. As you go keep documents that you will need for your Removal of Conditions (ROC/I-751) in 2 years. To view the documents you will need go to guides and look for the I-751 guide. About a year after that you can also apply for citizenship. 

 

So....you are done for now. Sit back and celebrate!! Congratulations!!
