Kosh, I have a question for you. Did you have a SSN before getting this new one? I wonder whether receiving an EAD give an automatic right to receive a brand new SSN even though you already have one. If so, it might be a good opportunity to straighten up the credit history.
i didn't have one..i applied for a new card. i think if u already had a SSN u have to use the same one..not sure
