So I'm a conditional resident now - got my 2-year Green Card in mail on Friday (yay! except I have to have them fix my last name on it). Since I've been here for 5 years now as a L-1 holder, I have a SSN card that says "Valid for work only with DHS authorization". Do I need to update it, or does a a SSN card that you normally get after receiving a GC say the same thing? Or, should I update it after ROC?

You won't get into trouble if you don't update it, but at some point you should go an get a new one without the phrase. You will keep the same number, but they will give you a card that does not say the phrase.

 

Though I think you might have to wait until you get the 10 year green card to do it. I'm not sure on that.
