Social security update

[big-bird]

Yesterday I updated my status , the same day i got my naturalization certificate .
They said they have to check with immigration and it will take a couple weeks .
Did i make a mistake by doing it the same day ? , is my status updated right away with USCIS ? .
just worried that when social security wants to check , USCIS wont have updated yet .

Thanks for the answers

To be expected. No big deal.

No worries.

What about passport , should i wait until my SS status has changed before applying for one ?

 

[TheRealCanadian]

No, why would you?

 

[big-bird]

maybe because the passport agency checks SS number when applying

It checks your number to see if you are behind on your alimony payments (and maybe taxes too?) but not to verify your name or immigration status.

but not to verify your name or immigration status.

Exactly. Why would they bother contacting SSA when they have an original naturalization certificate submitted with the application?

I'm curious as to why the SSA can't just use the original naturalisation certificate as proof!

They can - they just verify with USCIS, as does DOS for a passport.

Some DMV agencies still contact the USCIS after being presented a naturalisation certificate.
