Social security card - removal of conditions

[rich_harding]

When should I go for removal of conditions on social security card? I received my Green card in mail on thursday. Since I came to the US on H1B visa, on my social security card, I have Authorized to work only with INS permission.

Take your GC to the nearest Social Security Office and they'll remove the condition for you.

NewlyMinted,
A quick followup question . Is the process similar to when you first get the SSN card ? More specifically, do you have to submit the card and wait for 6 weeks for them to mail you a new one ?
Thanks

Yes you will surrender your old SSN card (with the legend) and get a new one (without the legend). The number will stay the same.
