Hello counsel love your channel can you do a video on steps for applying for paperwork children when they arrive in the US for children of US citizens or permanent residents who have just had their IR2 petitions approved in another country?
I just became a US citizen and got my passport but My social security doesn’t have that DHS line.. maybe just because I was a permanent resident,so am I good with that ?or I still need to update my social security card?
The Dept of State and USCIS should get together and allow a Passport Booth next to the Citizenship Ceremony location and should be recommended to the New Citizens to directly apply for one conveniently immediately after the oath. This will surely make it convenient for new citizens and increase revenue for the Dept of State.
Why not be able to do it all at once in the same building? Social Security, IRS, Passport Services should be in the building as well and maybe even the DMV even though that is State and not Federal but still, why not? Then after the oath, you can take care of everything right then and there. One stop and now you can start your new life A.S.A.P.
I went in for my interview 4 months after I applied for my citienship, got sworn in the same day, applied for my passport a week after and got it 3 weeks after
I did mine like this: 1-SSN (with name change) 2- Employer of Current Job to Change Name on Payroll 3-US Passport 4- Federal Income Tax Filling and Name Update through IRS 5- TD Bank Name Change Update 6- NJ Driver License State ID - Doing the State ID also gave you options to register to vote. 7+ Everything else such as Bills, credit cards etc. Bear in mind I have 2 bank accounts. I notified to change only 1 and leave the other under my former name. Should I need to deposit a check within the year of anything such as relief fund, or credit and they somehow sends it with an account on file and has not been updated as of yet. Such event happened when we were in the pandemic of 2020.
I sworn in January 4th..2024 I filed for my passport January 10th 2024 .. normal process of $130 ..6 to 8 weeks.. my passport came back February 10th 2024..
State Department seems to be on a roll with Passport applications and I guess they solved their backlog. Though it could build up once travel season starts.
As to updating your Social Security. We went same day as the oath ceremony. Showed them the naturalization certificate. They made a copy of it. Made my wife swear an oath. And that was it.
There's an error on your video. You said about not being able to travel internationally with a passport card. You can actually travel with a passport card to Canada, Mexico, the caribbean, Bermuda, at land boarder crossings or a sea port of entry.
I went in on March 9th and waiting for the letter of approval and oath ceremony date. I am planning on getting the passport first. Thank you for the tips ma'am!
Yes, she never said the opposite. Of course, you can travel with a Green card, it doesn't matter if it's valid for 2 or 10 years... The whole video is about the things you should do when you are NO longer a permanent resident, when you become a citizen.
Thank you for all that information. My oath ceremony is on Monday. you explained everything very clear. Now i know what steps take first. Thank you again.
My daughter received her U.S. citizenship through my status. When I became the U.S. citizen, I included her in my application. She was under 18. At the time I didn’t get the naturalization certificate for her because i was told that as long as i applied for her U.S. passport, she should be ok. I updated my SS but I don’t remember if I updated hers or not at the Social Security office. Was her information updated automatically along with mine at the Social Security office? After 3 years became U.S. citizen, she moved overseas, she’s now 24 years old. Will she be ok with her U.S. citizenship status?
It sounds like it's better to update the Social Security Card first but It's exciting to potentially put in a passport application within a day of becoming a citizen. If you must travel urgently, you can go to a Passport Agency office and even if you leave the US, the embassy or consulate has to give a US citizen a travel document to reenter. Note: The passport card can be used to travel internationally by land or sea and a handful of state offer Enhanced ID that serves the same function.
Social security is updated automatically . The waiting times shown in the video are the most extreme cases . Thank you but it needs to be more up to date.
@alexberenshtein4878 No it is not, the tell you to go to SSO with your Naturalization Certificate because that is what proves your change of status. If you don't they will still have you as a resident in the system. They send you a new card your number will be the same but the card will now have USA in gold.
I have been teaching citizenship classes since the 1990's. This detailed information is quite valuable. I do think it might need a bit of update on some of the details. And, a rough outline of this 16 minute video showing time points.
You better update you ssn, specially if you have changed of name before applying for passport because they will take your certificate and it will take time
@ImmigrationAttorney I was astonished to hear your warning that a US Passport might not always be considered proof of citizenship and to have a certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship. As a US Citizen who was born and raised in Chicago, It was always my understanding that a US Passport was absolute proof of citizenship as ONLY a US Citizen could obtain one. Is this really not the case? I would love to know how this could be and if you would share an example or law explaining why this is? Thank you!
Thanks for the information . I have One question, could you please confirm whether the SSN will be updated automatically once you get the citizenship certificate.
Hi my name is Kossi Emmanuel Logossou. I became a US CITIZEN since 2020. I appliied a petition for my wife and my 6 yrs old son since Nov 10 /2022. The USCIS approved the case and then sent it to the NVC 10/ 01/ 2022. Since then i've never heard anything from the NVC. IS IT NORMAL, THE WAITING TIME?
I got married but my case is taken forever because my N400 was denied and I made an appeal for a second hearing. Can I take my husband name ( different than the one in my social and green card ) ???
I am a us citizen with a us passport, and also have a Jamaican passport with 3 years left can I travel on my Jamaican passport to Jamaica and when returning I travel on my us passport
@sandyanderson6245, Your US Passport will not show date of leaving from US to Jamaica and you cannot anyway use your Jamaican passport to return to US as a US citizen. You may need to present both passports to immigration on your return to US; easier to use the US passport itself for both exit and re entry into the US as a US citizen.

Hello.. I am a green card holder. Last year 2023 I applied for my wife and my two step kids. I want to apply for citizenship because I’m over 5years now but the attorney who did the filing for my family is saying that i should not do my citizenship until my family come to the US. He further said if I do my citizenship right now that means I will have to re-file for my family. Which means I will be starting the process all over again. Can anybody in here better explain to me about this? Thanks!
I am already a US citizen and my husband expired his greencard and he overstayed in the Philippines for 7 yrs what can i do so that he can come back here in US pls i need your advice and how to let him back here in US.
Hey. I have changed my legal name in certificate of the naturalization. I know that I need to replace all the documents. My friend said I can’t apply for the US passport right away after the Oath ceremony when I’ll get my certificate. He said I need the certificate and State ID. On your video I see it’s unnecessary, just original of the certificate and two copies and passport photos. Can you tell me is that true? Really appreciate it.
I’d really like to know the answer to this question as well. I applied for my passport without adding my husband’s name to my Drivers License,but his name is added to the naturalization certificate. Did you get an answer? I’d appreciate the response
I have a question about name change Atty. My given name has a Jr. as a suffix but my naturalization certificate has none yet my driver's license and my former green card has it. Would this be a problem? Should I go back to the USCIS for a change? Thanks.
I became US citizen more than 15 years ago. Before that, I had a green card and my SS card has never had any annotation of my immigration status on the front. For that reason, I have never changed my immigration status with Social Security. If I don't change it, could I loose any SS benefits in the future? What are the repercussions of not doing it?
I have a question my dad renewed his green card last 2022 but until now he didn’t receive his green card yet. What are we supposed to do? I appreciate your help thank you
Hi. I’m not an expert but I’d suggest if you have a lawyer contact them, if not, you should call USCIS and find out, because it seems like it’s out of the normal. Recently I went to a USCIS office building here in California with a friend of mine to find out about his case and the officer at the reception gave us a number to call USCIS and showed us how to get through the system by clicking on certain options on the phone and got to an officer (on the phone) quick. Good luck
when I came into USA I acquired social security first, then waited for 5 years to apply for US citizenship, I need social security card to be able to work while waiting for 5 years for citizenship.
Am confused about your social security portion, I never had any problem with that, I guess it depends on your type of visa you brought to this country! I didn’t update mine and never had any issues and also I never had that language on mine anyway
Same with me. I became US citizen 15 years but I've never changed my immigration status with SS. I've never had any issues since my SS card doesn't have that "language" on the front. But after watching this video, I wonder if I really have to update citizenship status with SS
@@hecpal1982 USCIS recommends doing so, otherwise you might have issues gaining employment, collecting social security benefits, or receiving government services later in life.
@akuakesewaa9715 please update your status with the SSA take your Naturalization Certificate and passport with you, they will send you a new card with the same number but the card will indicate that you are a citizen. USA will be embossed on the new card.
Hi Just wanted to know, once I will update my SSA as citizens and my name change, will I get a new SSA card with new name?? I know SSA # will remain same
I am the us citizen and have petitioned for my wife as of right now the only progress made was getting her work permit. I-130 and I-485 are still being processed. I now have been made aware of a significant debt to the irs totaling around $25,000. I will need to be setting a payment plan with them. I still have to do 2023 taxes and am planning to file jointly. I will also owe money for 2023. Please tell me how this should be dealt as it pertains to the immigration process. Should I just file jointly then set up payment plan? I of course can not set up payment plan until 2023 taxes are filed. Also what potential problems can this cause for my wife immigration case?
i believe the new form N~ 400 no need to update ssn in person because they already update it on the system after your oath. One day after your oath they send you the new ssn card.
@ you should answer yes to that question is does not make any sense if you answer no. that’s the new form , mine i got my new card one day after the oath.
Hi, I have a question. I submitted i485 and received EAD and AP. But, the final action date backdated before receiving GC (India EB2). Now my EAD and AP are expiring. My question is : Can I apply EAD & AP extension when my date of filing date is not current?
I am new to your channel. Do I still need to update my social security card if there is no "Valid for work only with DHS authorization" on my card? thanks
@@godblessyouth9897Social Security Administration (SSA) updates your status as a U.S. citizen in their records but your SSN doesn’t change and remains valid
@@godblessyouth9897 Yes, you would have a SS card as a GC holder but it will specify that you are only a GC holder. Same number but a different card will be issued when you become a US Citizen.
Hi, Ms Moumita, its been 9 yrs from our marriage and i have been treated really badly since then and I'm not happy at all, she sponsored me and she always threads me if i dont do things in her favor/wish then she will contact the immigration.... i do have got my citizenship and my passport 2 yrs ago, i just want to get rid of her live my my life freely and independently, pls advice me is she able to make me in trouble? Thank you in advance
If you have your US Citizenship, then contact a Divorce lawyer or seek Marriage counseling if you want to try that first before dissolving the marriage. The Divorce lawyer should know how to handle your situation.
how can i sponsor my 16 year old? should i just go to the US embassy in Mexico and request US passport for my daughter? or is there any other way I can get this done here in the USA? please if you have any info on this let me know. appreciate all you do thank you in advance.
What if one parent becomes citizen before a child birth and the other parent loves abroad with children not a citizen or even legal permanent resident . Currently I-130 approved for the parent living abroad with the kids . Does applying for CBRA gets the kids direct citizenship while the spouse wait for the case to be processed for visa ?
I became a us citizen after filing for my children 21 and over but i never send the certificate to USCIS there case is documentarly complete and fees paid but i have been waiting for interview dates since june of 2022 still nothing. I submitted the naturalization certificate to NVC since i did not have green card anymore. I receive a letter last week to say one of my petition will be terminated if i dont pay new fees and documents. Its very puzzling to me since i submitted and pay all fees already. What should I do now?
Good video! By the way, maybe it's by default now, i got my updated social security card without having to go through the SSA office. It was sent to me automatically. Looks like SSA and USCIS are talking now.

Thank you for all that information. My oath ceremony is on Monday. you explained everything very clear. Now i know what steps take first. Thank you again.
Apply for your social security card before applying for your passport.
If you're applying for citizenship online, then uscis will update your social security. You have to select the box and give uscis permission to do so.

You need to update your profile as a citizen
To apply for the first passport, you need only one copy of the certificate of citizenship/naturalization; not two.
USPS or the agency will need a photocopy that the US Department of state will keep. The actual copy will be sent back to you.

Thank you very impressive explanation, infos.
I'm glad I found this video, I now know what to do next❤
You can also travel nationally with a Real ID
For a Naturalized citizen it is best to have a Passport as it also serves as a backup form of citizenship for things such as the DMV.

@@godblessyouth9897Social Security Administration (SSA) updates your status as a U.S. citizen in their records but your SSN doesn’t change and remains valid
@@godblessyouth9897 Yes, you would have a SS card as a GC holder but it will specify that you are only a GC holder. Same number but a different card will be issued when you become a US Citizen.
Thank you for these important informations!

If you have your US Citizenship, then contact a Divorce lawyer or seek Marriage counseling if you want to try that first before dissolving the marriage. The Divorce lawyer should know how to handle your situation.

@@Ecua thank you
From the day a parent files a petition for their married daughter (country Pakistan), how long does it take to receive a green card?
Above 21 is not priority. Anywhere from 7 years to 30
I have a question can i enter the USA by land using my naturalization certificate and driver license in California I don’t have a passport?
Yes you can but you might have to be in secondary. Though you should get a US passport but the US cannot deny you from entering.
You could maybe get an ETD (Emergency Travel Document) from a US Consulate or Embassy before returning to the US.
What if one parent becomes citizen before a child birth and the other parent loves abroad with children not a citizen or even legal permanent resident . Currently I-130 approved for the parent living abroad with the kids . Does applying for CBRA gets the kids direct citizenship while the spouse wait for the case to be processed for visa ?
If I don’t change my name so do I have to update driver license? Thank you
@jiraepps9323 Yes take your documents to your local DMV and have it updated in there system.
APPLY FOR PASSPORT AT LEAST 90 DAYS BEFORE YOUR TRAVEL . POST OFFICE IS BEST OPTION FOR US PASSPORT .
I became a us citizen after filing for my children 21 and over but i never send the certificate to USCIS there case is documentarly complete and fees paid but i have been waiting for interview dates since june of 2022 still nothing. I submitted the naturalization certificate to NVC since i did not have green card anymore. I receive a letter last week to say one of my petition will be terminated if i dont pay new fees and documents. Its very puzzling to me since i submitted and pay all fees already. What should I do now?
My country is Jamaica

Good video!
By the way, maybe it's by default now, i got my updated social security card without having to go through the SSA office. It was sent to me automatically.
Looks like SSA and USCIS are talking now.
Yes, did you apply after April 1st, 2024?
@@adrianbira2583 yup

@visitacionvillasis6568 Yes update your status with your local DMV, they will need to see your documents proving you're a citizen.
