You mean if the Social Security card doesn't have that text, correct?

OMG...  Yes, let's leave it here please, my IQ is going down with this exchange.

 

 

Anyway, hello @killadocg23  I found the right answer :

 

If your SS number card says "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION", which can be perfectly the case if, as I did, you requested it before having your conditional GC in hand, you will have to show both to your employer. If your GC doesn't have that text that means that you have asked to remove that text after you received your conditional GC or you waited to have a SS number until you had a GC in hand.  So, in that case, I guess that an employer won't need your GC.

Hi,

I am trying to see what is the best documents to provide for a job. I have a conditional GC which expires in 2021. Should I provide employer with that? Or give them my social and drivers license? Or does it even matter. Idk how they will react if they see my GC expected in two years. Will they know that if i just give them license and social?

 

Thanks

You guys lighten up - you’re both basically right.

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_I-9

 

This is a good summary containing all of the I-9 requirements and combinations.

 

 

 

Above are USCIS requirements for employers which (stunner here) are a much more painful read.

 

DL+unrestricted social security card is one (of many) possible combinations that employers are required to use to document employment eligibility.

 

Restricted SS card + GC or EAD is another.

Driver's licence and unrestricted SSN card. Read the i-9 instructions. 

 

What's important to note is that you, the employee, can decide which documents to show. They can't force you to use your green card to fill the i-9.

There are probably several right answers here.  It’s all good.

Thanks all. I was just worried that they would see my GC expires in 2021 and I’ve heard horror stories of the ROC taking long that i dont want them to fire me because it expires and I don’t have anything to prove my status.

 

Thanks

When filling out the I9, you must provide proof of identity, and proof of legally being able to work in the US. 

 

Some documents establish both (green card, or

US passport, for example).  In this case you would only need to provide one document. 

 

You may also provide one document that proves identity (license, foreign passport, state id, etc)  and one that proved eligibility to work( SS card, US birth certificate, visa).

 

The employer may not specify which documents you provide, nor can they ask you to provide them before a job offer is extended. 

 

The complete list of acceptable documents can be found here under instructions:

Uh yeah we posted that

I remember at one of my previous jobs they only wanted an A# without having to see the card or copy of the card. I assume the employer run SAVE on their end and all was good. Only ID and ssn was needed at that time. 

Additionally, employer can not discriminate because you have conditional card.

This topic is specifically addressing EAD discrimination, but I though this may be relevant to your dilemma. Very interesting read...

Well, I went on Uscis.gov and found out that once a green card is produced whether for 10 years or conditional for two years that an employer must not reverify the green card even if it expires.

Your limited term drivers license should have the same expiration date as your green card.

It probably should, but when I renewed my VA license with my 2-year GC I got an 8-year license.  Same for a colleague of mine.  Makes me wonder if we both got lucky or if that's VA policy now.  Anyway, it will make things easier during ROC, so I'm definitely not gonna complain.
