I have a question about Gesi's SSN. Of course it's stamped for work only, something about DHS authorization. My question is, what are the restrictions and limitations for using the card? I know it's for working but does that mean he cannot present the card when applying for a drivers license or being added to my bank accounts? I guess it may be a stupid question but what ARE the restrictions for having a work only SS card?? What can and what can't he do with it????
