CR1 approved - now what?

[Luvnevrymin 1]

Now that we have his visa, I am reading on sites that with a CR-1 he can work as soon as he enters the U.S. without having to wait or apply for authorization. I also read that if his green card hasn't arrived yet he can use his stamped passport as legality to work? does anyone know if this is correct? I think an employer might ask for I-9... just not sure how to go about him working right away. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!

That is correct.

An employer won't 'ask' for an I9 - and I9 is something your husband would fill out and, at that time, would have to show proof he is eligible to work. Normally the green card is what does that, but the stamp in the passport should as well. As long as said employer knows that the stamp entitles him to the same thing as the green card itself.
