Working without SSN
So I arrived in the USA today with my fresh marriage based green card in my passport, I’m obviously eager to get working and recently completed the ATP-CTP with A320 so I could hit the ground running once I arrived.
I’ve got 7000 hours with just over 3000 on Airbus and Boeing, I’ve applied to a few airlines through airlineapps and a few others including Atlas, Spirit, Southwest but can’t apply to Delta, United, Envoy, Mesa etc as the application needs a SSN to get past page 1.
As the officer at the airport informed me today, I am now a permanent resident and legally allowed to work, but without SSN in hand and no timeframe on its arrival (I’ve read 2 weeks to 6 months online) I’m not really sure where I stand with getting hired soon.
Does anyone have experience with this?
TIA
