  1. I failed to update my stepson's green card on his 14th birthday. His mom just received her Certificate of Naturalization two weeks ago. Should I attempt to do an I-90 at this point, or just go forward with his N-600 application? His green card's expiration date shows it's valid until 2026, but I now understand that it actually expired with his 14th birthday. Will the uscis accept this expired green card for his N-600 procedure? Now that his mom gained citizenship through naturalization a couple of weeks ago, it's my understanding that my stepson has now derived citizenship too. Can we even submit an I-90 to replace his card at this point?
  2. Stepson has: his original Philippines birth certificate his biological mother's Certificate of Naturalization (oath ceremony was 2 weeks ago) his green card (expiration date on card is 2026, but I failed to update his green card on his 14th birthday - and that seems to have been a big mistake because State of Ohio DMV will not allow him to use this non-updated green card to get any form of state issued ID card) his Social Security card and his expired Philippines passport that includes his K2 entry Visa and stamps (the US Passport officer had no value for his expired Philippines passport) We had his 2x2" pictures and his DS-11 prepared, but the US Passport officer was very brief with us. It looks like we will need to apply for his N-600, but the 13-month processing time hurts. He turns 17 in October, and it looks like he will be almost 18 years old before we can get his driving learner's permit. Does anyone have any experience or suggestion on how we can get this done sooner? Renewal of the green card seems to be off the table now that he has derived US citizenship through his mom's naturalization. Should we consider applying for a new Philippines Passport? Does he even qualify for a Philippines Passport now that he has derived US citizenship? I will go forward with his N-600 right away, but will also keep searching for ways to get his US passport during the interim. Thanks for reading my post. Feedback will be appreciated.
  3. Hi all. VJ has been a huge help. Thanks to all who have read and replied to our past postings. My wife has now received her Certificate of Naturalization (we used the N-400 to finally make her surname). We now have an appointment at a passport office to apply for US Passports for my wife and her 16 year old son. For her son: we will be using his mom's Certificate of Naturalization, our marriage certificate, his Certificate of Birth (abroad), and his green card (we failed to do the I-90 update his green card when he turned 14, but the card indicates that is still valid until 2026). For my wife we will bring her Certificate of Naturalization (and I don't think anything else for her is required). We will also bring photo copies of every document I have listed, DS-11's, and passport photos. Is the passport office going to need to keep her original Certificate of Naturalization? We will need her original Certificate of Naturalization to pursue her driver's license in June. And with her recent change to her surname, I think we may need the original Certificate of Naturalization again when she updates her Social Security info. Does anyone see a stumble ahead for us? Our appointment with the passport office is next Friday. Mike
