NEW IMMIGRANT NEEDS HELP

[kyle francine 0]

Hi everyone, this question may be asked many times but i hope somebody will be able to help and advised me to what needs to be done.

My POE here in the US was just last week dec 11, 2011. I am an IR2.

My concerns are:

1. I just filed for my Social security personally here in our local office and i have been told it will be send to me thru mail in 4 wks if everything is ok, so will that mean i cannot apply for work till i get my SSN?

2. do i need to apply for EAD?and how can i do that? do they have a fee for that?will that take also 4 wks?

3. where can i get my Green card? will that be mailed to me or should i file for it personally? and if i need to file for that where and how should i start....what will be the fee for that?

I know this is a lot of question but i hope for your help. Thank you.

SSN card will arrive in those 3-4 weeks.

No, you don't apply for EAD - the stamp in your passport by the Immigrant visa makes it a one-year green card so you can work with that.

Green Card will be mailed to your address on record from the immigrant forms you filled.

Moving topic to Moving to US as it has nothing to do with K1 visa.

thank you for your response milimelo...I just wanted to clarify I dont have to apply/file for EAD, then right after i get my SSN i can work legally. And second i don't have to apply/file for my Green Card since it will be mailed to me. Am i getting it correctly?

thank you.
