I came here in F1 status and I got my social security card a couple of years ago and then i was out of status for 8 months and i recently got my Green Card couple of weeks ago,
so my question is,do i have to go to social security office and update my status as a green card holder or leave that alone and my name was printed wrong on the social security card but i took it light when i initially got the card so can i change my name on SS card if i got to SS office
Yes, you can take your old SSN and your new green card, request a new SSN card without "Not authorized for employment w/o DHS authorization". If you have a drivers license, go ahead to the your local DMV and update your record. Yes, you can correct your name as well, I was once classified as Pacific Islander by someone at SSA, but it was a typo.
