Ok, so now that I am a bona-fide stamped Permenant Resident, do I need to go to the SS Offices and change the card to one without the "Valid for work only with DHS authorisation" message on it, or do I wait until after naturalization to get this changed?

Not sure... (F):)

Jay Jay my understanding is that you go with your AOS paperwork and show it at the local office and they will issue you a new card. MDYoung should come or someone else and tell you if I am not correct. Congrats again.

If you have an I-551 stamp or card you can go apply for an unrestricted SSN card. You don't have to do it and I wouldn't kill myself getting in there to apply, but I would get it done in the next couple months. The reason to get it done is that I assume you have or will have a 2 year I-551 card and at some time during the removal of conditions process your I-551 card will be expired and you have a restricted SSN card. With an unrestricted SSN card you have a work authorization document that never expires.

It's very easy. The only 'difficult' part was the long wait (SSA office near us is always busy). Got SSN for my son and an unrestricted SS card for me in just 15 minutes.

I did wait for a few weeks after receiving my GC before going to the SSA as I got approved without interview and my online status had not changed. So, I wanted to make sure our gc approvals had enough time to be transmitted to the SAVE (???) system that SSA checks.

(note: sorry, I remember the name of that system that SSA checks)

08/17/08: Mailed N400 to TSC

08/19/08: USPS attempted delivery

08/20/08: TSC received N400

08/21/08: TSC cashed check

09/02/08: Received NOA...........Priority date: 08/20/08

..............................................Notice date : 08/22/08

09/02/08: Received Biometrics Notification

09/18/08: Biometrics completed - Charlotte DO

10/24/08: Received Interview Letter

12/08/08: Interview @ 1:00pm. APPROVED!

01/05/09: Oath Ceremony 10:00AM. Now officially a USC!!!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

01/17/09: Applied for US Passport and passport card

01/28/09: Received US Passport

01/29/09: Received US passport card

01/29/09: Received naturalization certificate back from passport office

####### thanks for bringing this up. I've had my 10 year GC for about 5 months now and totally forgot about my SSN card. Damn, now I have to find a good time to go as I remember the waits. What all should I bring, just my passport with the stamps, my GC, Drivers licence for extra ID? Anything else?

As long as the name on your I-551 card is the same as the name that's currently on your SSN record, that's all you will need, except for the application (SS-5).
