Social Security
if I already have a social security number with my L1 visa, do I need to apply for a new one or replacement card when applying for adjustment of status or I can use the same card and same social security number ? Wondering if the social security changes or needs to be changed when switching from non immmigrant to permanent resident
Thannk you!

you will automatically get a new one

It will not change and you do not have to get a replacement unless you want to. SSN does not change at all.

what a bout the restriction SSN ? should be changed after getting GC. there is some restriction on SSN like " just authorized for work". do we need to replace it with new one after getting GC?

It does not really matter! once you show your green card, no one cares what is written on the SSN card! But if you like, you can!

When I went to get mine they told me that once I get my green card I had to come back to update it. You might wanna call or go just in case.

your ssn number does not change however you need to update your card to reflect your now status because of the restrictions that was placed on your ssn when you had the L1 visa.
