Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

We can immediately file for your adjustment of status under INA 245 (a) because you entered with a visitor's visa and you are now married to a United States Citizen. You will receive a work permit within 60 days, your conditional legal permanent resident for two years within about 4-6 months, and you can apply for US citizenship within 3 years thereafter.

They turn you down because you are not eligible to work in the United State until either you get a Work Permit OR a Green Card. You are not eligible for a SSN at this time as well.

It appears that you didn't apply for a green card or a work permit yet. Filing only the form I-130 doesn't give you any rights to live in USA, or work, or apply for a SSN (social security number/card).

When you apply for a green card and a work permit, and when a work permit is approved -- then, you can apply for a SSN and get a job.

If you need legal assistance with these matters, please let me know and I'd be glad to help.
