According to your timeline. It looks like you did a cr-1 visa thru DCF. If so then yes if you have your SS number you can apply for and start working. Your visa is a temporary GC good for a year or untill the GC Arrives

It did not take long after my wife recieve her ss card for the Gc to arrive

hopefully you will get your soon. But you only need the SS card. You can use the visa as your Gc for now

Yes, the CR-1 Visa Spouse will be able to work upon entry into the United States. In fact, their stamped passport acts as a temporary, "green card", until a permanent one is issued 2-3 month later.

Did you submit the I-765 and got your EAD card? If no.... then NO you can't work yet.

She came in under a CR-1. Things are different as you know. :)

Hi there :)

Try checking first on jobs near your place such as: indeed.com, careerbuilder.com and monster.com. From there, you can check which ones better for you. I got my GC June then go looking for a month then got a job offer by July but HR wants to see my permanent GC on hand and have submitted a copy of it. It is a requirement. God Bless and you can do it :)

Job search all depends on what you're looking for: entry level with opportunity for advancement is a long shot in this economy. Also depends if you want to work in a specific career field or just work. There are literally 1000's of seasonal jobs opening in retail for the next 3 months with the possibility of permanency depending on your performance and the store's needs after the 1st of the year.

FWIW my wife just got hired by Toys 'R Us for floor / cashier. Taking it just for the entry level experience and mingling with American society. We'll see how it works out.

Craigslist is another place to look. You have to weed through a lot of #######, but there are some gems. Just have to be patient and keep looking. My wife is working two jobs, one full time with benefits and a second as part time. She is doing very well for her skill set and I am proud of her, as well as she is proud that she can contribute to the family.
