n-600 or passport?

[kz020 0]

I am still really new and trying to get all my information together so any help is appreciated! Here is a brief background on me...

1978 Born in Philippines. Father was in US (Father is filipino but was serving in US Navy. He was not a US citizen at the time and was in the US. Mother is filipino citizen)

1979 Moved to IL with mother. Came with lawful permanent resident card.

1980 Father was naturalized

1984 Mother was naturalized

My apartment was broken into and I can not find my ss card or my green card. I am filing i-90 but am thinking of filing n-600 as well since my fiance and I are planning on going overseas so I want to get my passport. I believe I need to file my i-90 to get a replacement ss card, is that correct? Or should I try to just get my passport to submit to the ss office?

I am really unsure about whether I am on the right track.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I have a question for you wouldn't you already be a citizen because your parents naturalized when you were under the age of 21? In order to apply for the n-600 you need the certificate numbers of your parents naturalization certificate. Just wondering why you would still have a green card after all these years. Get the 1-90 first since you will need your A# when filing out the n-600 application. (You can then get your replacement SSN Card) You can get your passport once you get your n-600 approved.

I believe I am a citizen since I was under 14 when they were naturalized. I still have the green card since they forgot to apply for n-600 when I was younger so I am trying to do it now.

I have my A# so will be sending my forms out tomorrow. Thank you for your help!

You were born too early to fall under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. You fall under the previous law (now repealed). Under that law, both of your parents must be naturalized before you were 18 for you to get citizenship; which is satisfied in your case.

I think you should file for a passport and for N-600 at the same time. The passport is faster than the N-600, but the N-600 is useful in the long term and doesn't expire.
