Only with DHS authorization is a restricted social security card, as you can see here. (It will be the 2nd one)
http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/cards.htm
It is for people with EAD / Work sponsor Visa etc.
For people with Green Card, it will be the First Option Unrestricted Social Security Card, which would apply, I am assuming everyone in this thread.
Maybe when you guys got the Social Security card, maybe you guys got the Unrestricted one to start off with, but for me anyways I got the Restricted Card (Only with DHS authorization)
If you guys got the restricted Social Security Card like me, be sure to go back to SS Office (After you receive the Green Card) and let them know you would like to remove the tag

So I went to Marine corp recruiter today to talk about the documents I need, and to start the paper work, when he saw my Social Security card and my Green card he was confused, because my SSN card is listed as (Valid for work only with DHS autorization). I actually did not notice the problem until I went to talk to my recruiter. He said if I have Green Card I should not have a Social Security card that lists that, and told me go check with SSN office before we can further continue the process.



So I went to SSN officer and told them my SS card has Valid for work only with DHS authorization, and the person asked me if I got my Social Card before Green Card, I said yes. So he had me fill out a form of paper (Same paper as if you first signed up for Social Security card) And after filling out the paper, he logged all my information, and asked me to confirm if all was correct.



I should get a new Social Security card within 10 days that does not list Valid for work only with DHS authorization, and told me to destroy my current card once the new one comes in.



So for those that has their Green Card, and your Social Security card lists that, go check with SSN officer if you have Green Card in hand.

My green card was made in 22nd of july that's the date I had my interview. I did not get the card until the 20th of August
