Hello, everyone!
Originally I received my SSN with DHS label:"VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTH ####".
After my case got approved, I went to SSA office to change my SSN to UNRESTRICTED based on some lines from the letter: "You and your family may immediately apply for an unrestricted SS card"
My understanding was the having a DHS label - means its a restricted SSN.
BUT in SSA office I was told that my card is already unrestricted (even with DHS label) and that I wont be able to receive normal card without any labels until I get a Green Card. I spent over an hr with SSA employees and left with no results..
Can someone explain who is right and if there are any links to ssa.gov so I can prove my point (if I'm not mistaken)
Thanks!
P.S. I was told that based on TYPES OF SSNs, (ssa.gov/ssnumber/cards.htm ) I can get only TYPE 2 that I already have
