How to work while waiting for papers
- Thread starter janedoh
- Start date
Try not to give the employer your SSN as they could run an e-verify on you and find out that you need authorization to work, then they will start questioning whether you are eligible to work as you claimed. You don't need to bring out your immigration status on the interview until an offer is made, because that is the right time to negotiate benefits and personal requests. The first few interviews are mostly about your qualifications and fit to the company.
If the employer has lots of experience hiring H1Bs, you could choose to come clean at the interview. They'll understand your situation and try to accommodate. If the employer doesn't have experience hiring H1Bs, keep it to yourself and do as what Jack said but please don't start working until the EAD is on your hand. For those people who don't understand the work authorization process, the more you tell them, the more they are confused and scared. By the time you finished explaining, they were probably thinking about interviewing another person will be less hassled.

Check the dates, sunshine, this person likely has an EAD and perhaps has even been interviewed and approved by now.
