Hi,

My 15 and 1/2 year-old step daughter holds a green card following the successful use of a K-1 visa. (My wife came in December on K-1 visa, and both she and her daughter have received green cards.) I had thought that my step daughter needed an I-765 to work, but in doing an internet search 2 sites stated that if you were a green card holder, you were automatically entitled to work.

The reason this came up was that my stepdaughter needs a social security number to get a temporary driver's license in Ohio (according to the license bureau), but social security has refused to grant her a social security number. Having done some research, it seems that because my step daughter is entitled to work, she should be able to get a social security number on that ground. Hoping that someone can answer my questions.

Best wishes,

JD

She should be able to get her SSN with her green card. The green card plus SSN will allow her to work.

See this site and select child> original> noncitizen to see what documents you need. The I-551 is her green card. http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm

walk into a SSA office.

ask for the shift supervisor.

give passport and green card to supervisor, then ask supervisor

to do

a SAVE database lookup on A# and VISA NAME.

If not found, something is wrong, do NOT apply that day.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Darnell,

Do they ever stop giving out EAD's? For example in my case (still awaiting your list of to-do's!) will she stop getting EAD's if they drop her VAWA?
