Update status after becoming US citizen???
- Thread starter cchong
- Start date
I received a form about updating our status with the SSA after becoming US citizen. Is this really neccessary?
Yes, you have to update your record with the SSA before you get a new job
E-verify system relies on SSA records if you are US citizen.
USCIS doesn't update SSA records automatically. You have to go there and ask SSA to update it.
Thank you.

Hi Thankful,
I am planning to apply for US passport tomorrow. Do you suggest I get my SSA status updated first before I apply for a passport or do you think I should get my US passport first? My plan is to apply for a US passport first.

just go and do it. Some sort of national ID card might be on the horizon. It is in your interest to have your SSA records updated. You will get a new SS card but the number stays the same. The SSA office is also located in 26 Federal Plaza.
It doesn't really matter in which order, PP or SSA first. But similar like you, I first wanted to get a PP first so I have a valid travel document. I'll get my SS card updated once my PP is in. Feels like a natural sequence for me.I am planning to apply for US passport tomorrow.

And yes, I'm one of the slackers who still has the original SS card with the "valid for work only with INS authorization", so I'm really due to update my status with the SSA
Thanks DavidSEA. I agree with you. It makes a logical sense to apply for passport first especially my SS card does not have any limitation printed on the card.

Hi thankful,
Thank you very much for the replied message.
BTW, I had a good time during my swearing-in ceremony last Friday. You were right. The judge was super nice. I was scheduled for the swearing-in ceremony at 9am and I arrived at 500 Pearl Street around 8:30am. Everything went smoothly. My friends and family were able to join me at the event and they arrived at the court house around 10:45am, just in time for the actual swearing-in ceremony at 11am (although there was some delay because there were so many people with questions for the immigration officers). By 12pm, I have my certificate on hand.
