Im a college student and was recently offered a teller position by a bank. They asked me if I was a US citizen or permanent resident and I replied no but I have authorization to work. The lady said she would have to hold off the job offer and run it through corporation. What does that mean? Should I have told her that we are in the application process of permanent residency?

To the last answer I am legal to work, as I have my employment authorization card and people do not need to be permanant residents to legally work

The bank can he it's own rules. There is nothing requiring them to hire people of any specific immigration class

If you have you Employment Authorization card and SSN you should be legal to work anywhere in the U.S. I am not sure if bank positions require different documentation. Most likely the lady you were talking to doesn't know the ins and outs of immigration and has to check with someone who does before she offers you a position.

Yes you need to be legal to work . It doesn't matter if you are in the process of becoming a permanent resident.
Your most likely not going to get the job.

Yes, you will never get a bonding company to cover you unless you are a citizen or permanent resident.

As long as you have proof that you are legal to work in the U.S., then you should be fine. There shouldn't be any additional requirements beyond this.
