Sad to say that doesn't always help. My wife had a valid SS card issued in her married name after getting her EAD. When she got her green card, she tried to get the restrictions removed from her social security card. The SSA office claimed they could not verify her status because her immigration records were still in her maiden name. They told us to work it out with USCIS.

It took us three months, multiple attempts to get SSA to manually verify her status, and an intervention by the SSA District Manager to get it resolved.

I have the same situation, they just gave me a letter asking me to come back in 12 weeks if i haven't heard anything. Now I am worried it will take long to get my new restriction free card... :wacko:

Yes they can be faked.... and the SSA gets your information from your K1 entry that is why you are advised to wait 2 weeks after entery to apply for your SSN to allow time for your information to appear in the SAVE system.... so at some point later you turn up with a nice new shiny Greencard in a diffrent name and the only info they have on you is the info from your K1 entry so they have to verify that your are the same person...

Is this only a K-visa issue, or do people who entered on other types of visas have to deal with it too?
