Social security card after EAD

[sherry0201 0]

I got my social security number when I was in college here. And after I got here as a K1 holder, I renewed my card. Now, my EAD was approved. Do I have to go to the office again and show the EAD and renew it?

My social security card says I can work only with DHS authorization.

No, because your immigration status has not changed... go when you get the GC....

NO you immigrations status has NOT changed, you are still a NON-Immigrant, so the card will still say "With DHS auth only" on it.

Only after getting green-card and your status changes from NON-Immigrant to IMMIGRANT will you need to visit SSA to update the SSN card.

Also SSA recommends you visit them after becoming a citizen to update status, this affects benefits that you may get from SSA.

Unless your name has changed since the card was issued there is no current need to contact SSA.
