Hi There,

I asked the same question, and the lovely Kathryn answered, I cut and paste what she said:

"Just to clarify - if you are a K-1, then you write 'Yes" under alien authorized to work on the SSN form. The classification IS work authorized, however, work is only permitted if you ALSO have physical proof from USCIS such as the stamp or the EAD. It means you are allowed to apply for proof of work eligibility. If you write "No", your SSN will be denied as it is available for work authorized individuals only. Make sure you get it as soon as you can after you arrive - the longer you wait the more hassles you encounter and time runs out 2 weeks before your I-94 date."

I did what she said and it was all good!

I didn't get a stamp either.... I just showed the lady at the SSN office my passport with K-1/I-94 inside, she didn't ask to see anything else even though I brought my marriage cert with me....
