Social Security Number

[I'm Gone 60]

Unless I am reading this wrong, this is from the SSA guidelines:-

Required evidence for employment authorization is either a Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, showing a class of admission that indicates the person can work without specific DHS authorization (RM 00203.500C.1.) or an employment authorization document (EAD) (Form I-766 or I-688B).

Can you point us to where it informs us that SSA won't remove the "DHS authorization" spiel with EAD and only the GC?

To get the legend removed you have to have proof of permanent resdident status or U.S. Citizenship.

Documents that establish lawfully admitted for permanent residence (LAPR)

-- I-551 card

NOTE: Some LAPR aliens have conditional 2-year I-551s (Alien Registration Receipt Card), subject to the limitation that they must apply for removal of the conditional basis 90 days before the second anniversary of the admittance date to the United States. A conditional I-551 is identified by an expiration date 2 years later than the admittance/adjudication date is acceptable proof of permanent residency. For SSN purposes conditional resident aliens are treated as aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

-- Temporary I-551

Temporary evidence of immigrant status is issued for an alien to use

until the permanent I-551 card is received. This may be a stamp in the individual's passport or on the I-94.

-- Machine Readable Immigrant Visa (MRIV) with temporary I-551 language

-- Alternate evidence of LAPR status

Establish evidence of LAPR status if the following requirements are met:

-- The applicant submits an unexpired Form I-766 and on the face of the card, the Category is, A3, A4, A5, A6, A9, A15, A16, C9, C16 or C25 and SAVE verifies LAPR status.

RM 10211.025 Evidence of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) Status for an SSN Card:

As I said, the AOS has to be approved, just having an Form I-766 alone isn't going to do it.

My mistake. Thanks for clearing this up!
