SSN question

[Vkearney3]

Well we received the new SSN card today and Im very happy about that but I feel like an idiot because in about a week or two we are gonna have to go back and change the last name to mine when we receive oru marriage certificate. But I guess it's good I got one.

 

Does the number change? after we change the name?

 

 

Ok well my real question for today is abotu the SSN card..

 

Its say's "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" on it as well as her SSN number.

 

Is this good or bad? Is getting a SSN card not really that important because she cant be employed until she has her EAD card?? Im just a little confused..

 

And she read that the EAD is only good for one year on a chinese website, is this true as well?

 

This really just confuses me all the time. Im sure all of you are saying "read it on the net, A**H**E....but Im just so damn lazy today.. sorry..

Number NEVER changes, SSA issues a number to a person for LIFE.

K-1 and persons with EAD get the "Valid with DHS auth" disclaimer, this can be removed after getting a green-card.

The EAD is the Work Authorization in the meantime, good for one year everytime you renew it . The SSN is good for things like bank accounts, and tax rebates.

The EAD is the Work Authorization in the meantime, good for one year everytime you renew it . The SSN is good for things like bank accounts, and tax rebates.

And after getting Green-card, EAD is no longer needed or renewed.

Thank you so much for your responses, that really clears things up for me.
