Does anyone have a definitive answer/place to look regarding work authorization for new permanent residents? Once the have entered the country with their green card, must they take any additional steps/apply for anything else before they can begin seeking work?

 

I understand having the SSN and card will be necessary before they accept any work, just wondering if there is a new step we need to be thinking about before the spouse can work legally. TIA

Your i551 stamp(temporary green card) on your passport serves as your Green Card and Work Eligiblity.

So their going to assign one at nine week mark right now i think getting case number is useless since ceac website is not working

Correct. Useless now because you must choose your agent, pay your fees and fill out your DS260 through CEAC. Until the site is restored or NVC provides an alternative method for completing these items, eveyone is halted.

NVC has placed millions of people's lives on hold.

Normally AOS and civil docs are sent in a single packet with one cover sheet. Call NVC to confirm.

I received my coversheet via email from the NVC. If you've received correspondence from them, you should already have it as an attachment

Thank you. That is what I sent, the cover sheet from my email. My lawyer has consistently over complicated things and given me wrong information. He told me that there are two cover sheets, with two addresses, told me to put information in the packets that is no longer required... thank goodness for visajourney! Glad to have people in the same boat, who know what is going on!

Thanks. Telephoned only. Noticed case status changed to "At NVC" on 27 July. Called this a.m. to confirm via phone. No email received.

Congratulations to you too! Unfortunately, people with CCs from April are still waiting to be notified of an interview at our embassy because it is so busy. So it is going to be another LONG wait for us. Is your embassy busy?
