I485: SSN not available, but suddenly got SSN, must update forms?

[kamas 2]

If we have the I-485 package all complete and ready to mail to USCIS, but our SSN comes in the mail today, do we have to open our package and update all the forms with the SSN? Currently, for SSN we put "NONE" because there was no SSN. But what if the SSN comes in the mail today? Do we have to open the package and update it with the SSN?

Up to you. A SSN is not required for the AOS. The USCIS uses the A# and the IRS uses the SSN. I do not know if they tie things together if you supply the SSN. I am the kind of person that would want the forms to be as complete as possible, so I would open up the package to add the SSN, but that's me.

P. S. for others reading this thread. Once you apply for the SSN and they accept your application and say that the SSC will arrive in 2-4 weeks; you can go back to the SSA office the next day or later and get a print out of your account with the SSN so you do not have to wait for the actual card and can start using the NUMBER.

Also, it doesn't normally take anywhere close to 2-4 weeks to get your card in the mail. We applied for a SSN for my fiancee on Monday morning and got the card in the mail on Saturday.
