Got EAD at POE

[rlt 0]

Hi.

It seems like a stupid question to me, but I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right.

I was granted an work authorization at POE at JFK Airport and I got my Social Security Number.

Can I give my SSN to my employer and get taxed without worring about it?

I know my work authorization will expire and I'll have to stop working until I get my new EAD, but if I do work now, get taxed and stop until I get a new EAD, should I worry about my AOS process?

Is that something that I can do or will it ruin the whole process?

Thank you so much.

I need an answer asap!

No you can't work. They give you the EAD stamp so you get all confused, work illegally and then they boot you out of the country and never let you back.

Yes, you can work. I have the stamp and SSN, and all the employers I've spoken to so far recognise that as being allowed. In fact, most don't even question the 'work authorised only with DHS blah blah' and don't even ask to see the stamp.

Completely inaccurate... You are allowed to work for 90 days upon arrival on a K-1 visa and this will not affect your AOS.

I know, I had already answered his post correctly in another forum and was making a poor attempt at being funny.
