Our kids SS numbers

In what context did you even mention immigration on a resume? I have helped quite a few LPR friends make their resume and besides the listing of foreign job experience (which in and of itself is quite common in this region) there's no real need to mention immigration status on a resume.

My resume at the time was chronological, so I had a line briefly explaining the employment gap following my last full time job in the UK. I've changed it now, so that my employment dates just show the year and not the month.

... removing any mention of immigration from my resume resulted in a lot more offers of interviews..

Having graduated from a university overseas may hint at the fact that one is an immigrant.

Studying and/or working abroad doesn't necessarily mean the applicant isn't an American citizen.

True. In my case, though, a German name along with a degree from a German University usually allows people to put one and one together. I agree, though, that one's immigration status has no relevance on the resume.

And yet on my SSN card... it clearly states "Not for Identification Purposes"

wonder when we went away from that...??

Also, I know a family that was in NYC illegally from Venezuela, they had a kid there, kid got SSN, parents divorced, mother and kid went back to Ven.... father took SSN and stayed. Happen much? Possibly more so than ppl think, though I doubt there are factual numbers to state just how often.

and to clean up ones Credit History.. with just $20K variance... can end up taking years, and almost the same to correct in fees, bills.

My ex got his wallet stolen, a year later he found that someone was working at Ford Motor Company with his SSN... Don't employers check these things before hiring?

As I had no American employment experience, I just wrote "Permanent Resident of the US as of XXX-XXX" at the end of my Qualifications summary paragraph. It seemed ok for my new current job. I was told to bring ID/evidence of ability to work in the US the first day of training.
