Has anyone had any experience with this? My husband got his green card about a month ago and we have been looking for jobs and he finally got one!!! He gave his new employer his brand new SSN that he applied for just a couple of months ago, and apparently they said that it is "not going through the system" so they verified the number with him and are going to try it again. Is it possible that the SSN is so new that it hasn't fully made it into their "system" yet? Did anyone else have this trouble when they got their first job in the US? He is really worried that he won't be hired because of this little problem!!!

Ask his work what "system" they are talking about. Some employers do a credit check on potential employees, and he will have no credit, so if they are trying to run his credit, it will show up as nothing. Credit has nothing to do with work, but some jobs, think HR drones going through the motions, will verify there are no bankruptcies or other serious problems before hiring.

Regarding work eligibility, like "E-Verify" then he is authorized to work and there should be no problems.

"The system" is too vague. Gotta figure out what they are trying to do.

ROC:

Wow. Took the words right out of my mouth!

Yes, sounds like a credit check.

I read an article that said E-Verify is wrong in a lot of cases and that it may take months for the system to be updated: authorized individuals shows up as unauthorized to work while illegals turn up as good to go! :bonk:

That happened to a friend of mine. She just went to the Social Security Local Office and they gave her a printed verification which the employer had to accept.
