Ok guys help me with this one here. As some might know my wife is here on a CR-1 visa and just yesterday she received her SSCard a week after applying for it. Now after reading all these question on work permits it kind of has gotten me a bit confuse. Do we need to file some type of work permit or work request form with the USCIS or can she start working right away since we receive a SSCard? I keep reading K-1 posts on this topic but no CR-1 applicants are posting back. Thankz!

With the CR1, your wife is considered a legal permanent resident and is authorized to work. No need for any other work permit. She can start working any time she wants. :)

He he. Sorry, there's very very few of us CR1 here on the Philippine sub-forum. There's even only a K1 guieline. :-)

Anyway eau_xplain is right.

Off topic: Hey man, where are you in Dallas? Man I miss that area. I lived in Plano for about 5 years. I loved the weather! Not too cold, not too hot. A huge airport close by and that beautiful ball park in Arlington. Almost forgot, Hooters everywhere! he he. Sorry man, just reminiscing a bit.

My wife is from General Santos in Mindanao. She have actually met quite a few ladies from VJ personally already. This site is great man. Lots of knowledgable people. I envy you though, I'm here in Palm Springs right now and it kinda s*cks compare to Dallas area. But my wife and I are planning a move to NYC area soon so no biggie.

Anyway, good luck with your house hunting. Its a buyers market right now. Plano is great but Allen is better I think. cheaper real estate tax in Allen if I recall.
