DEAR ALL , I RECENTLY APPLIED FOR WORK AUTHORIZATION CARD ( WORK PERMIT ) AND I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD NOT USE MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO BE HIRED UNLESS I GET MY WORK PERMIT. UNFORTUNATELY I AM NOT GETTING ANY JOB THAT DOES NOT NEED SSN # AND I AM IN SEVERE NEED OF JOB. MEANWHILE I HAVE AN OPPURTUNITY TO BE HIRED BY AN AMERICAN STORE WHICH PAYS GOOD SALARY BUT I AM SCARED IF IT COULD AFFECT ON MY PROCESSED WORK PERMIT. IF I HAD NOT APPLY FOR WORK PERMIT I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY USED MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER BUT THE CRUCIAL THING IS MY WORK PERMIT IS IN PROCESS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST THAT I COULD DO.
