Can you start working with DV stamp after admitted to US?

Hi all,

Can you immediately start working with immigrant visa stamp on your passport (of course after admitted to US)? Or do you have to wait for physical GC?

Thanks

You need a social security number along with your green card or visa stamp.

I've social security number so visa stamp should be OK to start working immediately, right?
