    The only things I personally would do proactively are:
    1) I-9s
    2) Driver's ID
    3) School / univ registrations for children (if at all that would mean they become eligible for some aid/scholarship/in-state fees etc.

    I wouldn't care about anything else.
    I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.

    Banks are legally required to have the status (citizen/LPR/non-citizen) of the account holder in their system. Normally you should see a notification/email to update the status. And you have done that already in the past, they of course won't know when the status has changed unless you inform them, or till maybe they send out another status update request at some point in time.

    I believe, we need to update your SSN and remove any conditions on it. SSN office will send new SSN Card (Same Number) by removing any restrictions.

    After 15 years of wait, my 485 status changed to ?New Card Is Being Produced?. Status changed for both my wife and I.

    I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first. I want to thank this group and the admins for the hard work and great insights. I also want to thank President Trump (Greatest President in my life time in my opinion), who?s Executive Order issued to save American jobs resulted spill-over and many of us got current. All the very best to everyone who are waiting. Aap ka number bhi ayega zaroor.

    This is true, for folks that come here on a F1 the SS card does have the words "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization". Definitely want to update the system and get a "clean" SS card. The SSN itself remains unchanged.

    All:

    Happy to announce that my 485 was approved this week! Submitted 485J in March (in a hope that it would trigger RFE) and then interfiled medicals along with 325A and G-28 in June. Got approval directly without RFE in August.

    Among several awesome folks on this forum, I would like to specially thank @Aceman and Q for encouraging (and empathizing with all 2012 filers) during our long journey!!

    I hope and pray that all 2012 filers get their GCs at the earliest.

    Adios but happy to take any questions.

    Congratulations!! Glad to hear this news from you. It was long time coming! As per your research what percentage of 2012 filers do think are still waiting for GC? Do you have any clue?

    I have not done any research but based on what I know at least handful of folks (~50) are waiting for either RFE or approval following RFER.

    We received our physical green cards yesterday (pd Jan 2010) . After uscis did not pick our case for processing even after we were current for 4 months - we approached our local congressman?s office. I don?t have enough words of praise for them- they got all the details from us, tried to expedite the case at uscis . When that failed, the office said they were not satisfied with the response of the uscis agent and proceeded to escalate our case to a sr adjudication office.two days after we got intimation for our medical rfe. One week after they received our medicals, we got the approval and card was in hand couple of days later
    I urge anyone who has still not even received a rfe from uscis, and are 2010 filers , please reach out to your local congressman?s office.
    Thank you for all the information shared here - we would have been so lost if we all didn?t share our journey here.

    is it mandatory to update this with the social security? I thought it was mandatory only when one becomes a citizen. Any harm in keeping "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" on your SS card?
