10 day wait after DACA before SSN
 

So, i went over to my local SSN office to apply for my very first card. The guard asks me, what are you here for?? I said to apply for an original, and she's like wow where have you been?? I was thinking .....hiding. So then they sent me to a supervisor whom asks me a couple of questions. and she's like i have to wait 10 days from the approval of your case to even get started. after that, please get ready to wait 2 to 3 weeks so you receive your card. i was like damn, i wanted to start looking for good jobs already. anywho, she gave me this paper.

Please read: "If you are not a US citizen and [...] your immigration status allows you to work, you may legally begin employment while you await issuance of a social security card."

True. But employers need a ssn. They use everify. How can I do that with no number ?

It's not an issue if you can work or not.

It's the inconvenience of going to a Job interview and 99% of those applying have SSN and you happen to not have one, even tho they might not tell you, you're at a disadvantage.

You have an employment authorization document. That is all you need. You don't need a social security number to get hired.

"The law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract. Employers may not refuse to accept lawful documentation that establishes the employment eligibility of an employee, or demand additional documentation beyond what is legally required, when verifying employment eligibility (i.e., completing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Form I-9), based on the employee's national origin or citizenship status. It is the employee's choice which of the acceptable Form I-9 documents to show to verify employment eligibility."
