hi! ... I am already at USA, since last week, when I asked the Immigration Official @ Houston, about the time to get my green card, he said it takes 6 months...

what about the Social Secc card?...how long does it takes?

...and on the other hand I would like to know if while I get the green card, can I work (using my passport only)?

...is the stamp on my passport like a validation that I am here legally to be able to work? or do I need to wait to get my green card?

all your comments will be appreciated...thanks!

2012-06-07 Case Completed at NVC/NVC Left THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

Hi there,

They told me the same about the Green Card, however, after 2 weeks, I got it in the mail. Regarding your SSN, if you don't get within 21 days you can go to a Social Security Office and they will start processing it for you. After 1 or 2 days, you can go to the office and they can give you the number while you wait for the card. It takes around 10 days to get it in the mail.

You can work without your Green Card, the stamp that you have in your passport works as a G.C. However, you need to get your SSN before you start working.. Thus, you will probably have your GC by that time..

Your passport must have been stamped upon entry to the effect that you are eligible to work. You can go to the SSA and obtain a SSN and start working as soon as you can get a job.
