Hey guys,

 

Can you start work with a i-485 approval letter? I have a SSN saying 'Valid for work only with DHS authorization'. i485 approval means I am a legal resident now, so I presume I can apply for jobs and if I get hired, legally start work before the physical card arrives? Or do I need to wait for GC, go to SS office and get a new SSN card without that statement at the top. Unsure of when to start applying for work/ accept work- once GC arrives or in the meantime

Would appreciate your insights.

 

Thank you

Please complete your timelines. Did you apply for work permit? If not you have to wait until the actual green card arrives
