[LloydandMarilu 0]

Hello everybody!!

Well... We just married and of course we need to start with newpapers for my son and I . We have found out how much it would cost........ We need 2,000 dolares!!!!!!. It is include ..... my green card and the permission for work. We are so worry!!!!!. My husband is having problems with money for now. He has 3 kids and I have one. I want to work as soon as I can, then I can help him. But I am not sure if I can get to work because I only have my social security number and maybe I need to have a permiss for work.

My questions are.........would I have problems if I work illegally only with social security number??????

Can I ask first my permission for work because it is cheeper and when I get a job and get money I can start with my paperswork for my residence????????

Please I have not idea. I don't know what to do .

Please I need help .

Thank you!!!!

in short: yes, you would probably have difficulties trying to work with just a SSN; it's illegal, and very few people would probably want to take you on anyway... I know it's difficult having to wait; I'm in the same position, but you don't want to risk major problems for the sake of waiting a few months, do you?

and no, unfortunately you can't just do some of the process now and the rest later... well, you CAN, but you'd have to pay for the whole lot all at once anyway, so it wouldn't help you to wait; once you've paid you may as well file all the papers at once (I assume you're talking about adjustment of status, and the $1010 fee that covers applications for EAD and AP and all that; if you're not, please disregard my answer and wait for someone else to contribute )

Yeah, it sucks. But, it's the way it is. You have to get that EAD or your GC to be able to find a job. Beg and borrow to get the money if you have to.

You cannot work legally with your SS # alone, you either need your EAD or green card to do it legally. You can file for EAD only since it's less expensive and then once you have the money for the AOS, file for it later. So the total cost would be $1,350 instead of $1,010.
