Ir2

[sasha8384 7]

So I got an Ir 2 for my daughter. She has been in the stated for about a week waiting on her green card and her ssn. What's the next step? Can I apply passport? If so can I get proof of her citizenship

Are you a USC or a PR? If you or the other parent of the child is not a USC then she will be a green card holder until you file for citizenship.

I am a pr, my husband is the citizen her step dad applied for her. The guy at the immigration told us we could just apply for passport

Unfortunately he was wrong. Per the uscis manual:

 

The definition of “child” for citizenship and naturalization differs from the definition used for other parts of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). [1] The INA provides two different definitions of “child.”

 

•One definition of child applies to approval of visa petitions, issuance of visas, and similar issues. [2] 

•The other definition of child applies to citizenship and naturalization. [3] 

 

The most significant difference between the two definitions of child is that a stepchild is not included in the definition relating to citizenship and naturalization. Although a stepchild may be the stepparent’s “child” for purposes of visa issuance, the stepchild is not the stepparent’s “child” for purposes of citizenship and naturalization. A stepchild is ineligible for citizenship or naturalization through the U.S. citizen stepparent, unless the stepchild is adopted and the adoption meets certain requirements. [4]
