Social Socurity Card when you already have the SSN

[tooduhri 0]

I had been waiting for a new social security card for a while but there was no sign of the card arriving in mail. A month after I arrived in US with a CR-1, I decided to call the SSA (social security administration). Their response was that they would not send me a new card nor update my status in United States unless I apply to do so. (it would have been very nice to know right?)

I was advised to fill out Form SS-5 (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/) and bring it to a local SSA office with my I551 (green card). The key here is that you are asking for a corrected card since your status in US has changed.

I am not sure if the same thing happened to those of you who had the SSN with an annotation such as "not authorized for employment" but if you are one who has not received the card from them, you should do the same.

Did you mark on the DS-230 that you wanted the SSA to send you a card? That's what my husband did. I will make sure to tell him about this if he doesn't receive his green card soon after arriving in the U.S. Thanks for the info!

I am not sure what the yellow envelope is. If you have never applied for the SSN and checked the box "yes" for the state dept to issue a new SSN, you will get in in mail. The green card will also arrive in mail with a "welcome to US" brochure. I can't really comment on an airline because I've never flown to your country before.

Of course I marked the box on the DS-230. I even told the SSA person that I did this. The person who was helping me basically told me that the SSA would not send a new card to me unless I asked for a corrected card, and it was also my responsibility to update my status in US.

But technically, I would think the SSA would be upset if you were to go on a payroll and pay taxes because they are not the ones who enforce the immigration law. However, it is always safe to do the right thing.
