Yodrak,

It's useless. This guy knows it all anyway. There is nothing any of us can say that he will accept.

Now... who is being ugly?

I know I haven't said anything bad to you guys. Don't know why you have to be towards me.

Unfortunately, this evening I have not been able to look at the DHS.gov website. Something is up with my DNS or their website.

DHS.gov as you guys have shown me is the TRUE keeper of whether you CAN or CAN NOT work.

HOLY GEEZ, BATMAN! Did I just say I learned something from this discussion... maybe NOW I know it all, huh?

I'm not being ugly. I am just stating what seems to be the obvious. Of course, you can call it what you wish.

I've not called you names, nor have I insulted you. I am trying to understand this process like everyone else is.

We went to the SS office today and the person I spoke with said his SS card, as long as it does not say "not authorized for work" will be enough proof of eligibility to work.

If you get a driver's license (to establish identity in column B) and your SSN (that shows you're authorized to work), then that would be enough I think?

I think the real problem is getting something from column b, to prove identity, because foreign passports, identity cards, etc are not allowed.

Yes, here we see the rot is already setting in and people are starting to buy into this #######.

You won't get a SS card without the words "Not allowed to work without DHS authorisation" unless you have a green card. The required DHS authorisation is a EAD or EAD stamp on your I-94. Simply having a K-1 visa is not enough. Employers are not allowed to employ you unless you have a EAD of some kind.

I have posted a correction to my 'rot' HERE.

Yes this is what I was told and prior all that I had read followed the same line of thought. I have since found different.

I think the real problem is getting something from column b, to prove identity, because foreign passports, identity cards, etc are not allowed.

Actually in List A Item 5 I think shows a Foreign Passport is acceptable to prove both, but only with the I-551 stamp or an EAD.

You won't get a SS card without the words "Not allowed to work without DHS authorisation" unless you have a green card. The required DHS authorisation is a EAD or EAD stamp on your I-94. Simply having a K-1 visa is not enough. Employers are not allowed to employ you unless you have a EAD of some kind.

This is absolutely correct as stated in the INA 8 C.F.R. § 214. You have to have an EAD to work and still MAINTAIN status of your Visa.

dr_lha,

Or unless the SSA makes a mistake, which they do on ocassion.

sonicliz,

You were given bad information. An employer is required to verify its' employee's employment authorization status whether or not there is this notation on the SS card. The legend is a reminder that this particular person needs to have a USCIS-issued EAD, but the converse is not true - lack of the legend is not an assurance that the person does not need to have a USCIS-issued EAD.
