Now that we have got our GC, do we need to change our SSN?

I am sure we do but my friend says no?

Thanks

Your SSN remains yours for life, GC or not. You may want to ask SSA to issue you a new card that does not have restrictions written on it.

You should change the card, not the number.

There is no need to change the card. Only those with a NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT endorsement must change it.

It it simply states INS/DHS AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED, then, your GC is that authorization.

However, making the SSA know that you are a permanent resident is to your advantage, as it can help with solidifying your eligibility for benefits and reduce the chances of problems with ICE and eVerify.

EAD after GC
My I-485 is approved effective 6/10/08, and I have received my GC as well. But I applied for renewal of my 1st EAD well in advance sometime in May 2008 (anticipating the end of validity in Sep.08). Will my EAD be denied or rejected? Will the application do anything to my GC?

Thanks everyone, I thought I had to change it or at least inform them. I'll go let them know this week so I can be assured everything is correct.

Sridip, your EAD will have been rejected by now. No impact on Gc

I did not change it. What on the card matters? I dont think so. When I process employment, only # was asked, not the card.

With new programs like eVerify, I think it will be in your best interests to ensure that SSA knows you're a Permanent Resident. Probably not today, but certainly down the road.
