Application for Social Security Card Question

[Devoted59 0]

Filing with a K-1 Visa; On question #5,should I check Legal Alien (Allowed) to Work ?

Will just my passport and I-94 be enough for the required documents ?

No, you're aren't allowed to work as yet.

you can check on that box, but you are not allowed to work until you get your approved EAD. I just filed for my SSN yesterday here in NH, and they say it will take at least 4 weeks to have them on the mail. They only need your passport and your I-94 . Hope this helps

first yes, you tick that box because you're legally allowed to work... IF you have an EAD

Secondly, you cannot work until you get your EAD or GC.

Don't even worry about it. They will enter all your info into the computer based on your status and any questions they ask you. Any application you bring in will go in the destroy bag or the shredder.
