A few days ago I applied for Social Security Card ( I came to the US under K1, still not married)
The confirmation receipt they gave me states: You can use your Social Security card for work only if you have authorization from the Department of Homeland Security.
However, they gave me two more papers: SSNAP Printout for Social Security Number Card that has a Ref number and mentions, Lawful Alien Allowed to Work and they also gave me a paper that mentions DHS Case number: xxxxx that mentions: Temporary Employment Authorized
I thought that under the K1 visa you were allowed to work but had to apply for EAD.
Has something changed and while the card application goes through the DHS also gives you work authorization or?
