greencard and ssn

[lucid 4]

is the picture in your visa will be the one to be used in your greencard and ssn or they will take a different photo?

is it possible to change the picture in your greencard and ssn?

i already have a visa and i will be migrating to US this January. ?

Wait.....do SS cards have pictures now? Last time I checked, they don't include any picture at all. They're just made out of paper and look like this:

Not sure about the picture for the GC. Good question. Hope someone will answer to confirm.

SS cards do not contain a photo. When you adjust status..to get your green card..if I remember correctly ..you do need another ( new) photo.

Im sorry what visa are you entering on?

If its an immigrant visa then they use that photo from the visa. If you are adjusting status you do biometrics again and they use the new photo.

immigrant, i see, but is it possible to provide a new picture for my greencard and request not to use the one in my immigrant visa?

is it also true that my greencard should be renewed every 10 yrs?

You can apply for citizenship in 5 years or renew it every 10.

And no, you dont provide a new picture. No one really sees the green card anyhow once you get state id.

They'll use the photo you sent in with your green card application, until you get your 10-year card. Yes, you have to renew the 10-year card, every 10 years.
