It means you cannot work until you got EAD or the greencard itself... Once you got either one, you may want to go back to SSA to have that notation removed.

That is true... But it would be nicer to have a SS card without that bold, red notation on it, wouldn't it? When I got my greencard, I went back to SSA and requested for another card without that wording. That would be my last card, I promise them :lol: . Officially, I got 4 SS cards. :whistle:

Mine was in RED... BOLD RED! It was an eye sore that's why as soon as I got my GC, I went back there and requested to have it removed. Now my card is nice and clean, hehehe. Don't go working illegally now.

The SSA will not remove the "wording" until you have been granted permanent resident status (ie.. greencard)...

YMMV

You can check my timeline, I guess I was just lucky that I got my GC within four months as long as there's no RFE's or delays, you may get it right away.

So you think the best time to get SSN is when you actually have in hand the EAD or GC?

I am planning to get one on Monday but since we still need to get back to the office to delete that "MARK" so I think it would be convenient to get one after I have the authorization? I am in K1 upon arrival here..what is more convenient guys? pls help...

Yes that's right. its better if you get SSN after you have your GC so you don't have to go back at their office again and again. Besides you may only apply work when you have your SSN with authorization to work on it.

Good luck!

I believe that statement applies for unmarried K-1 holders, not K-1 who are already married.

I read on some posts here that some had an easy process in getting SSN but I wasn't so lucky where I applied. The employees at the nearest SSA office seems not to know much about K-1 applicants and was insisting that I should get an EAD too. No explanations would convince them that I'm allowed to apply for SSN using I-94.We found out that we can apply for AOS without SSN and since I don't have an immediate plan to find work without my GC, I decided to just apply for SSN after I get my GC so I don't have to worry about going back in the same office for any changes. The only disadvantage without SSN for now is I don't have any ID issued from here.
