everyone in your situation gets that language on the card... you can have it removed after receipt of greencard

[PhiLandShiR 18]

Actually, you are REQUIRED to have it removed.

On the Social Security web page it states that any change in status, must be reported and the card updated.

Shirr's card has the same wording.

I do not believe this is correct.

I think until you get citizenship its required to be on the card.

Considering my wife's was removed when she got her greencard... it is removed at that time....

My son applied for a SSN only after he received his greencard and the card came WITHOUT the restricive language

FWIW, neither are yet citizens

Same here. When I applied to have my SSN card changed to my married name, the restriction was removed. I'm not US citizen yet.

From the SSN web pages:

Restrictive legend change defined. Based on a person's immigration status, a restrictive legend may appear on the face of an SSN card to indicate that work is either not authorized or that work may be performed only with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) authorization. This restrictive legend appears on the card above the individual's name and SSN. Individuals without work authorization in the U.S. receive SSN cards showing the restrictive legend, "Not Valid for Employment;" and SSN cards for those individuals who have temporary work authorization in the U.S. show the restrictive legend, "Valid For Work Only With DHS Authorization." U.S. citizens and individuals who are permanent residents receive SSN cards without a restrictive legend. For the purpose of determining a change in restrictive legend, the individual must have a change in immigration status or citizenship which results in a change to or the removal of a restrictive legend when compared to the prior SSN card data. An SSN card request based upon a change in immigration status or citizenship which does not affect the restrictive legend will count toward the yearly and lifetime limits, as in the case of Permanent Resident Aliens who attain U.S. citizenship.

Unless you have Removed Conditions, you are not Legal Permanent Resident Alien, you are a Conditional Legal Permanent Resident Alien. Unless you have a 10 year Green Card, the disclaimer must be on the card. So just getting 'a' green card, is not cause to remove the disclaimer.

####### Retentive? Of course!! But this is the U.S. Goverment we are dealing with.

Sorry, any "flavor" of a greencard is classified as a "permanent resident"... You are either a non-immigrant or a resident (ie.. immigrant).... AOS takes you from non-immigrant to resident... plain and simple...

FWIW, NEITHER my wife nor my son have the 10 year card.... NEITHER has this language on the SSN card...

well, when my wife went to SSA to have named changed to married name after receiving her green card, her new SS Card does NOT have the restriction on it.

Not accurate, AOS changes your status to Conditional Resident. Not Resident, otherwise we would have no reason to Remove Conditions would we??

AOS takes you from non-immigrant to resident... plain and simple...

A permanent resident is a permanent resident... you might be a permanent resident with conditions attached but you are a permanent resident... Do not confuse the word "conditions" with that of "status".... they are two entirely different concepts...

All benefits granted a greencard holder are the same regardless of any attached conditions.... the only difference is the expiration of the card...

Uncertain as to why you are arguing this... there are thousands on this board who will tell you otherwise from ACTUAL experience with the SSA.

Conditional Permanent Residence

A conditional permanent resident receives a green card valid for 2 years. In order to remain a permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The conditions must be removed or you will lose your permanent resident status.

Phil, I suggest you take a look at your wife's green card. It will clearly show "PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD". It does not say '"CONDITIONAL RESIDENT". If SS and USCIS do not make a distinction, why should you?

Following your line of thinking, if you do not consider your wife resident, what is her status then?

Even if she is conditional, she is still considered a permanent resident.

maybe we should go back to SSA and demand the restriction be put back on the card...
