restricted SS card

[sweetFM 0]

I received my Green Card Nov. 21 and on Nov. 24 went to SS office to remove the restriction on my SS card ("VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION") and was told to wait 4 weeks to get it.

Today, husband and I went there (SS office) and ask about our application and was told that my name of the system (SS office or uscis) did not match and show that my maiden last name as my middle name AND last name.

What do I do now?

Who will I call to have it corrected?

And what is the number?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Contact whichever one has the incorrect name, to get it corrected. Your GC is your work authorization, so there is no problem.

You will never need the card; all you need is the number and that changes NEVER, even if you get one that has a Mickey Mouse printed on it. Don't waste any time on this.

although she won't need the card, the govt. systems such as SSA will ALWAYS show that restriction on her record w/them so she will ALWAYS have a problem (due to conflicting notations) if she does not fix it...and as for her name, it has to appear the same in all her govt records to avoid delays (due verifications), such as what she has already experienced.

uscis puts your name the way you wrote it on your AOS application check your name as it appears on your GC, if it

s incorrect, apply for i-90...did you put your maiden name as middle name in your AOS application and your married name as your new last name?

I'm having trouble understanding your question.

Is your name on your green card incorrect? Or your Social Security card?

If the name on your Form I-551 (Green Card) does not match the SAVE system the SSA office uses to try to verify your immigration on the initial verification request, there are additional steps the SSA office can take to try to verify your status.

The next step is to submit a secondary electronic verification request. The SSA office normally gets a response from that within a week. If immigration responds that they need to see a copy of the immigration document, a photocopy of the front and back of the document is mailed along with Form G-845 to the verification office. Figure on at least a month for the response to be mailed back to the SSA office. If it takes more than a month the SSA office has a number they can call to verify your status over the phone.

You need to find out why the SSA office cannot verify your status and at what step of the verification process they are at.

A couple things to keep in mind, your name can be off by one letter and it is still counted as verifing, for example, Bob Smith verifies as Bod Smith would be OK. If the first and last name verify it is OK, the middle name doesn't matter.

yes.

my name on the green card is correct and my name on the ss card is correct. things just turn wrong when I applied to remove the restrictions on the ss card. the woman we talked to at ss office told me that my name did not match on the name found at the system of uscis. how come it is wrong when i don't have any trouble when applying for the aos and it is also 2 times that i applied to ss office. first, when i applied ss number on my maiden name 2 weeks after i arrived here and 2nd, when i got married and change my maiden last name to my husband family name. ss staff are really confusing and time waster
