Thanks to ALL of you in adavnce
 
Hello indus_river - May I suggest a info-pass appointment. Just google info-pass and will get a very simple process to get an appointment. Speak to the Immigration Officer and ask him/her all the question. Make sure to write them down as usually we tend to forget vital details.
Keep us posted.
God Bless!

But the interview guy said he needed more info from my husband, because he was arrested back in 2006, we had already given the disposition. but now he wanted the arrest report. well we don't live in NY anymore...so we called and they mailed us the info that they could..so we made an infopass appt, and turned in the paper work to some guy..and he said Okay they will be contacting you by mail. what should i expect?...the disposition we gave them were for resisting arrest. and for drugs but it was dismissed. he got out of jail that day..they didn't charge him..and thats what the paperwork says that he wasn't charged he was charged with resisting arrest only. but i am a little worried.

Hello everyone,

I have received my green card last week. I am not sure if I need to change my SSN because I used to be F1 student with the SSN that says that work under DHS authorization. In addition, When I come to other country for 1 month, do I need to prepare anything else? In the worst case (just worst case), If my green card is lost during the vacation, how can I come back US? Thanks
 
thinking123 congratulations congratulations hope all you great dreams will be fulfilled my friend I am so very happy for you.

Go to the social security office and apply for a new social security card with removal of condition. The new card will have the same number but without the condition. As for your GC, make a copy and save it so you have access to the copy here and abroad just in case you loose it. A lawyer advised me to keep copy of GC with me all the time and my original GC in a safe place. You must have access to your original GC just in case you need it. I always carry my original GC if I am traveling within the US otherwise keep the copy with me.
