If you've just become a U.S. citizen, this video is for you! I walk through 4 things you MUST do (and 1 optional). I recommend doing them in the order I explain - some processes are slightly different during the pandemic and I share how to navigate them (such as updating your social security record). I hope you find it helpful!

What happens if someone is not able to come back to US before SB 1 Visa expires. I have been approved, it expires in end of December 2021. The airline ticket prices are too high now because of holidays season. If I come back in January when ticket prices are lower then what happens?

Hi ! How long you waited to apply for a new social security card? Until you had your passport? Were you able to apply for a passport simply using your naturalisation certificate? Can I still have job interviews with my old personal informations? I have a name change also that’s why! I have a job interview on Friday and my oath ceremony on Thursday 8am and I’m like can my recruiter use my old info to hire me and put me in the system?

SSA wouldn't process my father-in-law's retirement application because they said they never received his Naturalization cert. We mailed his original (no photocopies allowed) via tracked priority mail. They claimed they never received it, but we got signature confirmation. The agency wouldn't accept liability and told us we needed to pay $555 for a replacement or else they would not process his retirement. I was furious and wrote to my state's senator. Surprisingly, they ended up finding it after that. SO, if you MUST mail in proof of citizenship, I highly recommend you mailing your US passport (if you have one) because it is way cheaper to replace. Also, extremely important you update your status to SSA as soon as you become a citizen so that you don't have to send it in when you're trying to apply for benefits because it will delay the processing.

Thank you Maneesha Mukhi for explaining these steps in such a simple way. We recently became citizen through naturalization and our son who is 17 automatically became the Citizen through us. We are going to apply for the Passport for all 3 of us at the same time and I was wondering how the original document submission will work. For e.g. for my Passport application, I need to submit my Original Naturalization certificate. Also, at the same time my son would also require my Naturalization Certificate for his passport. So I wanted to know how it would work. Would they just require a photo copy of my Naturalization Certificate for his application. Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE : Giving a quick update if any one is looking for an answer . I went to USPS passport acceptance center and the agent accepted both mine and my son's application at the same time. She sent my Naturalization Certificate (Original) with my passport and sent a photo copy of my Naturalization Certificate , photo copy of my drivers' license and my son's original birth certificate (NON US) for his application.

@michaelhorgan9525 Жыл бұрын

You can apply without your parents at that age. It only takes 8-11 weeks for routine service. Expedited is 5-7 weeks but you can call the department of state using the 877 number for an urgent appointment if you have proof of travel. Appointment needs to be scheduled within 14 days of travel for no visa or 28 days if you need a visa for your trip. Though it is best to call them just before 8 AM EST before on the 14th or 28th day before travel. You must provide proof of travel but this is if you really need it asap. If you can wait 5-7 weeks then you can apply for Expedited as you can always upgrade your expedited application for urgent service.
