Hi friends! Quick question here, as I'm finding conflicting information online. I'm moving permanently to the US on my IR-1 visa, and naturally I'll be looking for work. I know that we elected to have my social security card mailed to me, but do I need to wait for this to arrive? Some websites say to wait as I'll need the number to apply for work, while others say that the visa in my passport is fine temporarily until the card arrives. For those who moved to the US on the IR-1, did you look for work right away? Were you able to? Or is the SSN required before I can begin applying?
Thanks in advance.
