Grr I am finding myself to be extremely annoyed and frustrated today and I really hope you guys can help.

I applied for my first social security card, before we were married in my maiden name. It arrived with no issues and had the expected "Valid for work only with DHS Authorisation" writing on it.

We got married. I changed my name with the social security office and received my new social security card again with the expected "Valid for work only with DHS Authorisation" text.

I get my green card, chill out for a few months and then decided I need to get that "Valid for work only with DHS Authorisation" text removed as per all the VJ forums.

I go to the social security office, wait and wait and wait, speak to a guy who takes ages and finally tells me the details between the immigration systems and the social security systems don't match. He says this is typical and that it will just cause a slight delay but no issues.

Today I get a letter in the mail stating I should get my new card within 2 weeks but it will be only Valid for work only with DHS Authorisation. Can anyone tell me where I go from here?

Thats because you cant have the status changed, you are only allowed to work with DHS authorization AKA a green card.

They would only remove the words on the card but the status of the card stays exactly the same. Its likely you will get a card without the words on it.

Thanks I hope that is what happens. Sometimes it feels like I am just banging my head against a brick wall, not just with this but with drivers license etc. I was planning on filing for Citizenship in just under 1.5 years anyway but things like this make me wish for that day to come quicker. It seems no one knows how to deal with a green card!

I noted that your status states that your AOS is pending. However you stated that you received your GC. An EAD card is not a GC as Inky has stated. They are two totally different things. EAD allows you to work while the AOS is in process. Did you receive a GC or an EAD?

Odd I do not know why it says AOS pending as my timeline is upto date. As per my time line I have had a Green Card since 2010 and signature you should be able to see that. I never did get an EAD as the GC arrived first. Thanks for letting me know, I will now go figure out how to change where it says that on the left hand side.

Fixed, apparently I had to change a drop down in edit profile too.

Since when are you a Green Card holder?

What does the field on the front of your Green Card under "RESIDENT SINCE xx/xx/xxxx " say?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

" 90 days before Green Card Expires: 2012-08-05 "

She should be applying this year for ROC - looks like her card expires 2012 November probably the 3rd.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

You can try to go to the same or different SS office and say that you want the wording "Valid for work only with DHS Authorisation" to be removed from your SS card because you're a PR now.

That's the wording I used. Turns out they sent me a card without the wording but a letter with. Thanks all :)
