K1 - in the usa.. question on social security.

[Donna&Noelia 6]

My fiance was previously an au pair in the USA for a year. She was assigned a social security card, and still has it. On it is says for with purposes only.

Anyone else with experience already having a social security to work in the USA?

I'm wondering if we are to go get another social security card, or if we keep the one she has already.

You keep an SSN forever. You update her status with the SSA, but the number will remain the same.

My wife had an SSN from a previous trip to the US, so we asked for a replacement when she got here. Since she came in on the K-1 the SSN card has the valid for work DHS, whatever it says, printed on it. From what I understand, because they come in on the K-1, they still have to apply for the EAD no matter what.

Number reamins with person. Upon arrival and AoS it be exchanged for one that did not have the wording about working. However, note that to work, an EAD is needed (or a GC, whichever happens first)
