got social security number card

[Habibati & Habibi 21]

Hello vjs

friday I got the scoial security card mail home and when opned the mail it says authorized to work only with the DHS authorization

I come to USA on a K1 fiance visa and one week after my coming I applied for the SSN and after five working days I got the card home

so could anyone here explain me what that means? and now I have a social security number can I work?

thank you for explaining and guiding

thank you for the reply

so that means i have to Adjust my status and apply for EAD and then I can work

so the social security card that I got, do I have to change it later on when will get a EAD? or I continue using the number given to me ?

I read on a post that social security administration give three type of SSN so that is why I ask

thank you

If you apply for EAD (i765) with your adjustment, you will have the work authorization within 4 months or so. With that and your restricted SS card (with the statement) you are allowed to work until your GC is approved. With the GC you then go and get a new SS card that won't have that statement. Once you have your GC you will no longer need the EAD.

It will always be the same number.
