Getting unconditonal social security number after obtaining green card?

I got approved of my Green Card (received mail today) and I was just wondering how/what I should do to get the unconditional social security number card since I have the conditoned (working only) SS.
Can I just goto the SS office without any appointment and what would I have to bring? And how long is the process?

All you got to do is fill the form SS5 from www.ssa.gov and take it to the social security office with your green card. Tell them that you want to update your immigration status and have that work authorization restriction removed. Your green card will be returned right there and you will be given a computer receipt. In 2 to 3 weeks, you should receive another card with the same SS number without any restrictions in the mail. I don't think you need an appointment for that.

You keep the same number. When you get your green card in the mail you take it to the Social Security Admin office and they will get you a new card that does not say EAD Required.

It doesn't even make a difference if you get the new card as long as you have your green card. and your SS # is a legal valid #.

I got my green card in 2005 and have not changed my SS card, it still says " Valid for work with authorization document", I got hired almost three years ago with the card and the company didn't say anything, coz they had a copy of my greencard as well....

I suppose when I get naturalized I will get it changed, even though it's not necessary....
