Getting the SSN with L2 Visa
It seems many L2 Visa holder do not to know that SSN can be got with just a simple I-94, a passport and a translated marriage certificate. That's why I'm posting this message !
A SSA internal paper was issued on 19/10/2007 explaining that L2 visa holder no more need to have an EAD to get SSN. (see section C.1 in RM 00203.500). Thanks to this, you won't have to wait months before getting your driving license and banking account!
However, I have read that SSA agents do not always know the existence of this paper. So it might be a good idea to bring a copy with you when going to Social Security Office.
Only question is: I don't know if this SSN allows you to work or if you still have to go through the long DHS process to get work authorization...

SSN does not give the right to work
Unfortunately, I have called the DHS and their answer was clear: no, it is not possible to work with just a SSN.
You have to apply for an EAD.
Do it as quickly as possible since this takes some times.
