Default Social Security Card after Successful Green Card App.

Hi,

Do I change my SSC having successfully obtained a green card? My current one is restricted (since I entered on two visas in the past).

Cheers,

H

Yes. You can change it out for one that does not have the work authorization restriction legend on it.

You'll want to update SSA again whenever you become a USC.

Thank you for the quick reply, Rene.

Do you know if my previous contributions (not that I understand fully) social security when I retire, count? As in, when I was contributing with the previous card.

(Edited for clarity)

I'm pretty sure that just the card changes, you keep your same SSN
