If I understand what you are asking, yes an I-551 stamp can be used to apply for an unrestricted SSN card.

Your PR status will still need to be verified before the card can be issued and it's very unlikely that you will clear SAVE with a I-551 stamp, so the G-845 will mostly likely need to be sent. If you aren't in any big hurry, you could wait for the I-551 card to have a better chance of clearing SAVE.

Plus DO NOT I repeat DO NOT let them take your old SSN card until you get the new one.

2. Card Returned With Request For Replacement Card or New SSN

If the applicant has a card and requests a replacement card (duplicate or corrected) or a new SSN:

Ask the applicant to return the old SSN card. (If the applicant does not have the card with him or her, remind the applicant to return the old card to SSA for destruction or to keep the old card in a secure place [not in a wallet or purse]).

NOTE: Do not forcefully confiscate the SSN card if the applicant refuses to relinquish it. Similarly, return the old SSN card if the applicant requests that it be given back.

I agree with mdyoung. I got an approval for my greencard in Jan 23, 2006 and Jan 26 i tried to change my SSN card and when to an Social Security office. They didn't give me yet my new card coz they still need to verify my status. So just go back to the Social Security office when you get your Green Card. That's much safer. I just got my SSN card yesterday. So just wait awhile and you'll be able to do get a new card without restrictions. Goodluck and God Bless!
