Sorry guys I've posted this question before but can't remember what was said! I have a SSN from a previous visa (j1) years ago. We put this social security number on all applications etc.

Just wondering when I get to the usa do I need to go to the social security office and update them on my immigration status. And if so should I do this once I get EAD? Or before? Or wait until I get conditional green card?

Thanks in advance!

"What if my immigration status or citizenship changed?

If your immigration status changed or you became a U.S. citizen, you should tell Social Security so we can update your records. To get your immigration status or citizenship corrected, you need to show documents that prove your new status or citizenship. We can accept only certain documents as proof of citizenship for new and replacement cards. These include your U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization or a Certificate of Citizenship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, Social Security will ask to see your current immigration documents."

I really don't know because my husband did not have a prior SSN. I suppose if your EAD card has a different version of your name than your old Social Security card, then getting your record straight at SSA might prevent this from happening http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/499641-after-all-the-hoops-we-have-jumped-through-4-days-into-my-new-american-job-uscis-emails-me/

Email them and ask. SSA.gov

Find contact us and then email

Or see if this link works https://faq.ssa.gov/ics/support/ticketnewwizard.asp?style=classic
