I just got my ss card on the mail....

and it's printed on the actual card .. valid for work only..... bla bla..

Is this going to make any difference .. like lets say.. to start getting credit.. or for an apartment lease.. etc..

or fot the dmv also??

does it matter??

again.. any help would be appreciated

Gracias lol

No it wont make any difference to getting credit or renting a apartment. It is there to indicate to an employer that you need to have a valid EAD to be able to work.

Once you have been approved for a Greencard you can go back to the SSA and have that removed.

thanks man!!...

so it would be like renewing your card...

the number won't change.. but wait another week or so.. to get a new brand card.. without the quotation.. right?

You can apply for an unrestricted card once you have an I-551 stamp or card and the number will not change.

Can't really say it isn't going to cause a problem, since some people don't understand the reason for the restriction only being for employment. That's one reason to get the unrestricted card as soon as you are eligible.

I have one of the restricted SSCards, Ive had it for about 2 months. Yessterday i tried to apply for my own line for a cell phone and got denied, " my social is too new and i have no credit". Have you guys been able to get an apartment? I was planning on moving into one by the end of the month. IDK if having this social will restrict me from getting one. any advice?

I was told never to show your ss card to anyone. They only ever need the number

So in theory, an employer/bank/whoever will never know about the addendum.

I'm not suggesting this to get around illegal working, just suggesting that there's no reason for a bank or non employer to even need to know about your work restrictions.

Well as far as your SSN being new, SSA puts out just about every month a High Group list that shows the highest Group number that has been assigned within each SSN Area. I suspect that your SSN is from a Group that just started to be assigned and isn't on the current list or they are using an old list.

Area Group Serial (AAA-GG-SSSS)

Except that any employer in the US has to verify employment eligibility through submission of the file I-9 in which case you would trigger a red flag. They even have an online system for businesses to do that now So no chance to get around.

If you are talking about working being paid in cash only, that's a different story...

Ok, I have a question... I have the same sentence on my SS card "Valid for work only with DHS authorization".

But on my I-94 stamped and signed by a DHS officer when I entered the US I have this stamp : Employement authorized until 16 Aug 2009.

So does that mean that I have the DHS authorization ?

Yes, that's exactly what you have.
