Waiting for SSN??

[bassagitator 1]

Just wanted to post this out in the open, so everyone who is waiting for their SSN in the mail, can see this.

If you have your EAD, and it says you can legally work. Then while you wait for your SNN number you can take on a job. I went and applied for my SSN number and he told me the exact same thing, that it could take up to 4 weeks for it to be mailed out to me, because USCIS had not entered it into their system yet. But at the end of tha appointment he handed me a piece of paper, that stated this.

"If you are not a U.S. Citizen and you are applying for a Social Security Number card for employment purposes, and your immigration status allows you to work, you may legally begin employment while you await the issuance of a Social Security Card....."

So I take this to mean that I could go out and get a job tomorow, even without my SSN in hand. And just tell the employer, that you are allowed to work, and able to work without the SSN number in your hand. That you will provide them the SNN as soon as you recieve it.
