Hi, I know this question has been asked before, but I could not find the thread which has this information, so please bear with me.

Which option should we choose in the SS application form if we are applying with EAD, I see

Legal Alien Allowed to Work
Legal Aliean not allowed to work
Others

My guess is Legal Aliean Allowed to work, and send in a copy of the EAD card, is this correct? Your reply is greatly appeciated.

Thanks.
 
Yes. I marked "legal alien allowed to work" for my wife's SSN (she got her EAD recently) and we got it without any issues. The SSN card has the legend "allowed to work with INS authorization" typed on it.

I concur with titu and once your get your GC approval, both you and your spouse can re-apply for a new SSN card (same SS number) but the restriction legend which is on your card will come off.
