What shall one do after receiving a green card?


Here is what I am aware of.

Actions to take ASAP:

  • Replace/update your SSN card. This can be done at your local social security center. See https://www.ssa.gov/
  • If employed: ask the employer to update the I-9
  • If you have some accounts at banks, insurance, mortgage: inform them about your residency status, as in some places you may be eligible for lower rate after getting the green card.
  • If you are a male between ages 18 and 26: Register with the Selective Service (U.S. Armed Forces)

Things to do until you get US citizenship:
