Hello all,
I came to the US in 2014 with F-1 to pursue my Ph.D. I was working as an assistant at the school, so I had an SSN. I got married to an American citizen, we left the US for 2 years, started the immigrant visa process. We came back to the US and I entered the US with my IR-1 in October 2019. When we were processing the application, I did not ask for a new SSN card or number since I already had one.
In December 2019, I got my green card. My SSN number is same with my USCIS number on the front side of the card and my alien registration number on the behind of the card is same with my SSN number as well.
Today I got a letter from USCIS, saying that this number on the behind of the card is wrong and it should be a different number. They want me to send the card back to them and they will issue a new corrected one.
- Does this have anything to do with my SSN number? Should I let the social security know it?
- I have been employed since I entered the US in Oct 2019. Do I need to update my job about it?
- Has this happened to someone else? We are planning to apply for a mortgage loan nowadays and will I need my green card for any reason?
Thank you so much!
