I765 Approved. When can she work?

[SilkRoad 0]

USCIS website says my wife's employment authorization application was approved and a notice sent out today. Does the notice come with a card or something that she can show to a future employer, or do we have to wait further for that? That is, when could she start work? Thanks!

"Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On July 31, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this

I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please follow any

instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice,

call customer service."

As soon as she gets her EAD card... and make sure she has SSN!

As soon as you have EAD card, you will then take the EAD card to SSA and apply for a SSN. Most employers will want SSN in order to properly collect income tax.

I have the same question. Now my wife is currently working with the work permit she got at the POE. She has a social security number already and we were also wondering if she could continue to work once we get the I75 application approved or do we have to wait until she receives her actual card for her to continue to work. Her current work permit expires August 14th. After that she won't be able to work until she gets her new work permit but we are not sure if the approval of the I-765 would suffice for her to continue to work.

There may be a gap from when I-94 expires to when you get EAD card, employers are responsible to confirm that an employee is work authorized. I have read many posts where the employer will let the employee go as soon as EAD expires or will request to see EAD to continue employing the person.

Ok this i know.... but my question is when is she authorized to work again. When the application for I-765 is approved or does she have to wait to have the EAD in her hands?

She's legally authorized from the moment USCIS approves her application and bestows authorization. However, accepting employment requires authorization and proof of that authorization, and she won't have both until the card is in hand. An approval notice is not acceptable proof for employment eligibility re-verification on form I-9.
