If you never received your real SSN, you should select “SSN Applied for” on the I-9. Make sure you apply for SSN as soon as possible but not earlier than 10 days after your arrival to the US.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>What documents can an F-1 student present?</strong></h3> <ul> <li>You may choose which document(s) you present from the LAD. See the examples below: <ul> <li><strong>List A</strong>: a foreign passport, Form I-20, Form I-94.</li> <li><strong>List B </strong>& <strong>List C</strong>: <ul> <li>A School ID/Driver’s License, State ID; Canadian Driver’s License, Native Tribal Documents; Form I-20;</li> <li>Unrestricted US Social Security Card; Original/Certified copy of State Birth Certificate; Native American Tribal Document; US Citizen ID Card; DHS/USCIS Employment Authorization Document (either of Forms I-20, DS-2019, I-94, I-766)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3><strong>Can I use the same documents for reverification? </strong></h3> <ul> <li>As long as those documents are valid beyond your current expiration date on I-9. You will need to present original, unexpired documents as evidence of your continued work authorization beyond the expiration date of the original I-9.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>My EAD application was filed three (3) months ago but I have not yet received the card. Can I work while the application is pending?</strong></h3> <ul> <li>It depends on the category of your EAD. For example, you may not begin your pre- or post-completion OPT until after USCIS approves your Form I-765 and you receive your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and complete the I-9.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>My EAD application was approved, but I have not yet received the EAD. Can I work before it arrives?</strong></h3> <ul> <li>It depends on the category of your EAD. For example, you may not begin your pre- or post-completion OPT until after USCIS approves your Form I-765 and you receive your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and complete the I-9.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>My current EAD/OPT has expired or is expiring. I filed for STEM OPT before the EAD expired. Can I continue to work for the same employer while the STEM OPT EAD is pending? What document(s) should I present? </strong></h3> <ul> <li>In general, yes, you may continue working while your STEM OPT is pending. If you filed your STEM OPT extension application on time (prior to the EAD expiration date) and your OPT period expires while your extension application is pending, USCIS will automatically extend your employment authorization for 180 days or 540 days, if your EAD is based on a category eligible for Automatic Extensions. This automatic extension ends once USCIS adjudicates your STEM OPT extension application. You still need to reverify your I-9 on time before your current EAD is expired. For reverification using the EAD, you should bring <strong>the expired/expiring EAD </strong>with<strong> the Form I-797A (Notice of Action)</strong> which shows USCIS receipt of the STEM OPT application.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Is a Form I-797C, Notice of Action, for a lost/stolen EAD acceptable for I-9 completion and work authorization for 90 days?</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Yes, you can use a receipt for a lost or stolen EAD as evidence of your identity and work authorization for up to 90 days of employment from the date of hire or if for reverification, from the date employment authorization expires. (Please note that replacement EADs usually take longer than 90 days to process.)</li> </ul> <h3><strong>If I hold J-2 status, can I work before I receive the EAD or after the EAD expires? </strong></h3> <ul> <li>J-2 status holders may work only after they received their Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as long as the start date on EAD is not in the future. This status is not eligible for automatic extension after the EAD is expired and the employee has not received a new work authorization.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>I am an O-1 beneficiary. My petition was filed by another company, not JHU. I believe that I am authorized to work for JHU. What documents do I need to provide you with during the appointment?</strong></h3> <ul> <li>If your O-1 was sponsored by an employer for a single petition, your O-1 status is valid only for the position stated on the O-1 petition. You cannot accept any other employment outside that single employer. However, if the petition was filed by an agent, you may be able to use your O-1 approval with an itinerary or contract for services specifically for JHU.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>
