Steps after Receiving Green Card
Hi all,
I recently received my green card (2-year conditional) by mail and I want to understand if there are any steps I need to take/make.
For background, I was previously on STEM OPT VISA and already working for a US based emmployer when I filed for the green card.
I am aware that one of the changes I need to make is to update my Tax situation and with my employer and start paying for Social Security and Medicare.
I have read online regarding updating SSN but unsure if I have to do it. Is there anything else I need to do in regards with my change in VISA status? (e.g. updating USCIS portal/informing my college DSO etc. )
Appreciate all the help! Hoping that everyone hears good news regarding their VISA this year!

I was on F-1 Student VISA (STEM OPT) before the Green Card and hence I was not paying SS and Medicare taxes (F-1 VISA category is exempt from those taxes)
