Got H4 EAD (What is the next step)

[patel007]

All,

 

My wife recently got an H4-EAD. I was wondering what the next step is before she can applying job. So far here is what I found:

1. Apply SSN at the local SSN office.
2. Do we have to complete any other paperwork before she can start applying?

Thanks in advance!

She can find an employer & also apply for SSN.

Just the SSN.

Just SSN is fine. There is nothing to do.

Thank you experts for your quick response.

 

One last question: Before starting work she is planning to make a quick trip to INDIA for visa stamping. As you know H4 visa was not allowed to work earlier.

 

If a question arises if she wants to work in future or is she working. What answer is the visa officer expecting.

 

Is it OK for her to explain the visa officer about the new H4 EAD rule. In some case these officers are completely ignorant about the new rule.

 

Thanks for your insight.

Truth should be the answer. All immigration officers would know about this.
