My wife was admitted on IR1 last week. Since she had a green card before (surrendered in 2010 because we moved overseas) she already had a SS card. We specifically checked (no) on the DS-230 for the SS card for this reason.

Today a new SS card came in the mail anyway. It had the same number, but the "not authorized to work without DHS authorization" was removed. When did they start doing that? It was my understanding that if she wanted a card without the notation we would have to wait for the green card to come in and go to the SS office and apply for one. Anyone else had this experience?

 

i don't get it.

They mustn't have looked at the check mark. Or maybe, since her original had the "not authorised" on it, they generated a new one because with her new visa/ admission type, she is allowed to work immediately.

My original card didn't have the "not authorised" on it because I had an IR-1 visa. Still got a new card (not requested) when I naturalised, exactly the same except the red number at the bottom. Good to have a spare I suppose!

I filled it out for her and definitely checked no. Didnt even want a remote possibility of 2 different cards or numbers. As I recall the DS 230 actually asked for the SS number.

Weird but not unappreciated as a spare card can be pretty handy.

Strangely efficient (one week exactly after entry) for what otherwise is a pretty screwed up government agency (how in the hell the same immigrant can have 'rejected fingerprints' (3) dam times from (2) different offices would be a good example LOL)

Any idea when we can expect the green card to come in? I keep seeing ranges from one month to several months.......

Took us almost three months for the physical greencard to arrive.
