gchopeful, IRS update is the only one. Now if you have mentioned no SSN anywhere else, it would be best to update : Bank accounts, if you had given W8-BEN, DMV,....
Port of Entry
Friends -
what kind of question will a GC holder be asked in Port of entry. on H1 they ask about employment, place you work, type of job. Will this remain the same?
any thoughts?. what if we are out of job???

That case in the link you provided seems he was wilfully hiding the accounts to avoid taxes. So no need to worry if you just missed it i.e. unwilful act.

I don't have experience on it but from my understanding they need a separate letter as it doesn't look that they will monitor it with tax filing.
And they say:
And so they won't know until you tell them.If you do not notify the IRS when you are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due.
May be they have different staff or process that will do the update when you send the letter. So it's better send the letter rather than assuming something which can create issue later.

Yaar abhi abhi GC mila hai, apna roots mat bhulo. Jo likha hai follow karo, no bagawat
I wud go to local IRS office with ITIN letter or if that's missing a copy of tax return, SSN card, EAD or GC, drivers license or passport for proof of identity. They merge the ITIN records under ur new SSN.

Just an update: Finally got my new passport.

There was some discussion about it. AFAIR, the conclusion was, just go to the SSN Office (Federal Building) closest to you with your SSN Card, GC, Passport etc and ask for the card to be updated. You do not need appointments - its on a walk-in basis.

Took the printout, went to the SSA office nearest, take your green card, old ssn card, and passport, drivers license , state id, whatever you have. Frankly they only need the old ssn card and green card, but no harm in taking rest of the stuff. Tell them you have green card now and want the restriction about INS or DHS authorization removed from your SSN card, and they know exactly what to do.
FYI, you can only get 10 SSN cards issued in lifetime, and 3 max in one year. However, new SSN card due to above i.e. removing some restriction verbiage, or new SSN card due to legal name change, is exempt from numerical limitations...

Thanks bud!
I'll have to find my SSN card now. They will give you the card same day? I tired the ssa webpage before , it wasn't opening in ie/ff.

Is direct link. They also have paper forms in office.
SSN card comes in mail, around 1 week later. If you cant find SSN card, tell them u lost it, they will issue new one, still inform about GC, so that new card dont have any restriction.

Glad to be finally posting in this thread. I have a few questions of my own.
1.My parents visitor visas were approved last year and they presented copies of my H1 documents at that time . With my GC approval would it render the visitor visas obsolete .Would they need to reappear for Visitor visa using my GC documents.
Updating with the answers I found.There is no relation between the visitor visa and H1 documents presented.It is a visa in its own right though in the sponsoring letter one would state evidence of financial support during the visit.However at POE when questioned they can say that son has gc right now.
2.Wife is currently in India and I will not be able to obtain a new SSN for her in time for the taxes.Can I still file for taxes with her ITIN number. As I understand the law one cannot have both ITIN and SSN at the same time and techincally she would not have both at the same time.I am planning to get her SSN updated after she returns. Would you anticipate any problems with the above approach ?
Ans: Since it is last year's taxes and also since both ITIN and SSN are not present at same time should be no issues with this one.
Please feel free to correct the above if any of the info or assumptions are not right.Just leaving the questions post so that it might help others.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes"
Also wanted to share an article from Ron Gretcher written in 2010 pertaining to job change post gc
http://imminfo.com/News/Newsletter/2...-approval.html
"The bigger issue that seems to confound both AOS and CP applicants is how long must they continue to work for their sponsoring employers after they become lawful permanent residents. Many years ago, the former INS had a rule that presumed fraud on the part of the employee if he or she changed employers within two years of becoming an lawful permanent resident (LPR). That rule was quietly abandoned almost twenty years ago. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to have gotten the word as it continues to pop up in Internet discussion forums today.
It is pretty clear that Congress settled this issue with the passage of the AC21 legislation. The legislative history of the I-140 portability provision makes it clear that Congress wanted to achieve parity between AOS and CP applicants. At that time, both AOS and CP applicants had to wait until an I-140 was approved before moving on to the next step. Historically, CP has rarely taken more than six months from I-140 approval until the issuance of an immigrant visa (assuming visa availability).
In passing this legislation, Congress implicitly recognized that CP applicants were free to change employers after becoming LPRs – as long as they acted in good faith during their processing. In other words, as long as they didn’t have fixed plans to change employers before going off to the visa interview, they were free to change jobs immediately upon return if circumstances changed. Changed circumstances might include a higher salary, better working conditions, or a better job opportunity.
By setting up a six month interval for AOS applicants (from the initial date of filing), Congress put them on par with CP applicants who could change jobs after approximately the same interval. It is safe to say that the six month interval is now the rule, at least insofar as there is a rule.
Since an applicant may change jobs after six months, it is absurd to assume that someone who gets very lucky and has AOS granted earlier than six months is somehow subject to a different rule. For this reason, it is clear that anyone who is an LPR may change jobs for any reason without fear of having their status revoked. The old two year rule was dead and buried long before passage of the AC21 legislation. The six month interval set forth by Congress, however, makes it clear that LPRs are free to change jobs at any time."

Glad to post in this thread...I am all set to receive the cards tomorrow. Pretty pumped up right now.
couple of silly questions, when at POE can GC holders use the US Citizens lane? If not How about with a US Citizen dependent?

guess u have heard them saying loudly at the POE
"All citizens and permanent residents, this side, all others on the other side"
guys gals and gurus....
After reading about how soon one can change a job from above posts, i have couple of questions...
1. The 6 month rule... So the 6 month time frame starts from the day you applied for your 485 and not the day you got the CPO email right? Thats what is mentioned in Ron's post but i just want to make sure. So i filed on Nov 2 2011 and by May 2 2012, i should be 100% free to do job change in same field ( yes this can be done any time after LPR but just trying out the 6 month thing)
2. I currently work as a IT consultant in a scenario where my company A will be paid through Vendor B by Client C... So if i remove my Company A and take 1099 from Vendor B... Is this a job change or career change?
http://youtu.be/h0b5VGrKVG4 -- GC Journey in KOLAVERI Song!!!!!
1) I am not 100% sure....to my knowledge it is 180 days from the 485 reciept date...
2) this is not job career change as you will working in the same job and same responsibilties and just removing one layer. this is just employer change for the same job.
Below are my thoughts:
1) I've read two things on multiple forums. One say " 6 months from AOS receipt Date" Second say " 6 months from AOS approval date". AND Both say there is no written norm for this 6 month rule, it is just to be on safe side to prove intent.
Personally, I think If there is a good reason you can switch anytime. Reasons could be:
a) Employer layoff
b) Employer asks to move to different location which you dislike.
c) Family reasons like spouse found a job in another state.
d) Kids going to school/collage in another state etc compelling you to move.
List can go on and on. Basically, if you can show enough proof that you never had prior intentions of leaving GC sponsored employer after GC approval, then move should be Justifiable.
2) I think if you change layer, and that layer is your GC sponsored employer, then it is a Job change. And in your scenario, I don't think there is a good reason to prove your good intent. Since you go to the same client. My 2 cents.
Hope it helps. Thanks.
for the above point... will it be ok if i remove my sponsoring company layer after 6 months?
