A stepchild (ukrainian) in the US on IR-2 Visa. Can she get SS number and work permit? Is it one of those maybe yes maybe no deals or just a matter of application?

Thanks! As always!

My understanding is that IR2's receive a green card just like an IR1, so the answer would be that she doesn't need a work permit, she is already authorized to work and just needs to apply for her SSN.

I think it is truly the same as IR-1 but if she wants to work now (before the green card) she can just use the IR-2 visa? The SS office told her she might get a SS # might not... Were they just being jerks?

Thanks

Does she have an I-551 stamp in her passport? If so, that should be all she needs.
