After you become a citizen, you do need to get in touch with Social Security so that they can change their records. If you look at your original Social Security Card, it might have a notation printed on it that warns a potential employer to double-check your employability under your old visa status. In the past when people became permanent residents (greencard status) they popped by the Social Security office to get a new card that didn’t have that information. I don’t know if that has changed in recent years.

Find out where you closest Social Security office is and get this fixed.

As to Selective Service, check the website again for a telephone number or a place where you can make an e-request to verify that your registration has been processed.

Then you can call FAFSA and/or your colleges and make sure your files are updated with them.

Good luck!
