Customer Rating: Summary: Incorrect information Comment: On page 159 of the 3rd edition, it is mentioned that an individual is authorized to work with the receipt notice (for work authorization) and an SSN while waiting for the temporary employment authorization document. That is simply not true according to several Houston based immigration attorneys. I contacted the author of this book to get some clarifications but never got a response.
After I recieved my notice of receipt, I got additional confirmation of that because it explicitly states that it cannot be used as an authorization to get any sort of legal employment.
