Work authorization: Automatic with IR-1 upon POE?

Hello, next I'm going for my interview for IR-1 visa. My question is, does one get automatic work authorization when entering the US? Or must I fill out some other forms first. Can I start working right away?? Thanks!

On arrival in the US your passport will be noted with a temp I-551 this is a temp Greencard it is good for both work and travel.... your actual greencard will arrive within a few weeks...

Good Luck with your interview.

I have a SSN already, from when I was a student in CA. I keep it right? I filled it in on all the forms.

This is incorrect. Most employers will not hire someone before they have their SSN, but it is not illegal to do so if the person has work authorisation.

Yes, you'll have the same SSN. It's a permanent number.

Doesn't she have to go back to the SS office to let them know that she is no longer a student but a LPR?
