Getting Work Permit After Arrival

[gvanderford 0]

Hi All,

I was told by someone that with the green card granted to beneficiaries, the right to work in the US is included. But then I saw some information about immigrants needing to apply for a work permit so now I'm confused. My wife will be arriving on a CR1 visa in a month or two (fingers crossed) from Vietnam. Do we need to file additional paperwork for her to get a work visa or not? Thanks

A Greencard gives a person the right to work.

The GC is the work permit. No additional work visa needed. Just need to have a SSN as well, but thats only a formal application at the local SSA.

...and remember, the DS-230 asks, have you ever been issued a Social Secuity Card before. If not, do you want one issued. It should come in a couple of weeks after POE.
