Hello,

I had a quick question in regards to working after one goes through POE. I was wondering how soon one would be able to start working. I know you need to wait until your SS# arrives. Do you need to wait until your GC arrives as well or can you begin as soon as you get your social?

Thanks in advance! ^_^

I seen ppl getting SS# as soon as 7 days after arriving in US and Green card as soon as 30 days after arrival. Most employers requires 3 forms of ID (usually SS, Driver Lic and Green card copy) so my guess is as soon as you get ur Green card number or welcome notice in mail you can show that to employer if you have a job n start working. I hope this helps.
