Update! Today I got my SSN and I have a question... it says VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION...so.. It means that the SSN is just to work?? or it means that is valid to work if i have my ead too, but i can open bank account or get my driving license?

Please anyone can help me with this doubt?

thanks!

you can use it whatever job u want or anywhere , but they write that coz you don't have A USC or Permanent Status, when u receive your GC , you can go to the SS office and they will request a new card which doesn't have this statement

That is common, it just means the SS office has not yet received the info required from the USCIS system. Give it a couple of days or more and you should be able to do it. Nothing to worry about.

When did you file? Did you get an RFE, if so how long did it take you to respond?

If you wouldn't mind, could you update your time in your signature, it would help :)
