Social Security Cards for Non-U.S. Residents

Most people think that you need to be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder to get a Social Security Card, but that is not true. There are special types of Social Security Cards issued to Non-U.S. residents.Most people assume that you need to be a United States citizen or resident (Green Card holder) in order to get a social security card, but that is not true. Non-U.S. residents can also get a Social Security card. Cards issued to non-U.S. residents display the person's name, the SS number, and the message "NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT". Persons allowed to work in the U.S. for a certain period of time receive cards with the message "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION". These Social Security cards should NOT be used for employment without DHS (Department of Homeland Security) authorization, but you may use the SS number to establish a credit history in the United States, and if you wish, you may also apply for credit cards, loans and even mortgages.You can enjoy the convenience of having an American credit card for example, even if you don't live in the United States.

Immigration debate heats up, yet mostly ignored by Candidates
Just over a week ago, many foreign professional and laborers needing a work visa ran out of time. Depending on what side of the immigration reform debate you stand on, it is either the worst or best news for America's unpredictable job market. Due to numerous post-9/11 restrictions on the nation's H-1B and H-2B visa program, many employers and supporters of the programs believe America will not be able to find enough workers to fill thousands of jobs. Under the H-1B program, which affects hi-tech workers with at least a bachelor's degree or the equivalent, Congress set a cap of 65,000 such visas per fiscal year limit. For the blue collar-oriented H-2B program, there is an annual limit of 66,000 visas issued. Both programs are so popular that by the time the deadline for the visas had passed on Oct. 1, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services already had received enough applications to count toward the caps.
