Social Security Validation?

Hey guys,

I have a social security number but it says on the card that it is not "valid for employment". Is there any way in which I CAN validate it?

I am undocumented as well, so I have no idea if there is a way I can alleviate this problem.

Would any of you guys happen to know?

I wonder about this too. I have SSN with nothing on it. Wanna check it out

there really isnt a way for it to be validated other than through legalization. i used to have an SSN card that said the exact same thing ( i think my parents got it for tax purposes)

but when i received an EAD (employment authorization document) i was able to get another SSN card with the words "valid for employment with DHS authorization"...

and the only way you can get an EAD is when you are in the process of adjustment of status.

too bad i couldnt complete the process and I am back in square one.

I'm a college graduate and i have the same card that says not valid for employment. When i tried to apply to large companies they wanted to see my card, but I found a job at a small company and all they asked for was my social security number. So I handed that in. I'm on the payroll and so far there has been no problems. It's been over a year I've been working at the place. I'm very thankful and keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck looking for a job!

Cool, thanks for the replies!

whoa whoa question how did yall get a social card ? and to the college grad how did u get your because it thought if u dont have ur paper u cant get nothing tell me plz i always thought that if u have one its fake but idk leme know rxgrlpi/sonawabich

I have the same SSN Card my parents got it for taxes purposes they used to give them instead of an ITIN before i believe. I am About to graduate high school, when i apply to college do i use the same number or do i just put 000 00 0000?

I think most people who have entered legally early-mid 90s, on a visit visa or something should have this, especially if they tried to do some type of adjustment and it failed.

Essentially this.

you can use your ITIN/SSN card number regardless of what it says on the card.
