folks after we get our greencard do we need to update at social security office about our change of status from EAD to alien , does anybody did it , responses would be appreciated
thank you
 
You will say from adjustee to LPR, the answer is YES.
You must do that after you received your card. The SSN will be the same but your card will not longer has the words "only with DHS authorization" on it. Plus, as per conversation with the officer who interview me the benefits from SSA are different (I don't know if I care about it...but who knows)

Good luck,
 
I have been procrastinating on this for some time now :rolleyes: , thanks for reminding though. The SSN i received when i was on H1-B allows me to work only with INS authorization. Now that i have my GC and USCIS has authorized me to work anywhere i please, i still think that my SSN status is valid as i am working with USCIS authorization :D. I will probably drop by the SSA office next week and say hello to the good folks there :)
 
Ooopss :eek: ! Thanks for the reminder ;) !! I have to change my SSN card ( and my son's ) as well !

Yes you should do that.
Even though I had so many bumps on my road to Citizenship, at least I had my Social Security card clear, like the American citizens from the begining. Back in 1990 whe I first got it, they didn't put any notes on it, like "not valid for work" or "valid for work only with INS authorization"
I always had a Driver License and a Social Security card no different than the citizens and that, in a way, gave me a sense of security.
Who wants to carry a conditional card?
 
Me too

I got my first SS card back in 1994, while still on a tourist visa. And of course they put a big fat “not valid for work" stamp, but I had no problems getting it though.
Later I got it changed to “valid for work only with INS authorization" and two years ago I finally cleared my SS of all those conditions.
My DL was always for 7 years as well as yours. Those were good pre 9/11 times….
