Hello everyone!!! After almost a year of being unsure, my case has been officially approved!!!
So excited to finally be able to one day call myself a US citizen! 

Just curious though, is there anything I should do after getting my green card?

While I-693 doesn't have fees for filing, it's not free. You have to find a civil surgeon approved by USCIS and go through paid medical exam. You can search for civil surgeons here - https://www.uscis

Ok, so I realize you are 18 and feeling frustrated…but the process and application (I-485 ) is actually YOURS….to do correctly and follow through. This even though your stepdad is paying the filling f

Get unrestricted social security card by filing SS-5.

 

Don't use GC for I-9 verification. Use unrestricted SS card and DL / state ID instead.

 

And, don't ever claim in writing or verbally you're a US citizen (citizen) until you become a US citizen. Even innocent statememts to US officials / employers such as "I'm a good citizen" can get you in trouble.


Thank you! I'm more proud to be a green holder so I don't plan on saying I'm a citizen anytime soon.
On form I-485 it said I had the choice to opt in to get my first SS card, so will I be able to get one without filing SS-5?

I'm not 100% sure you'd get it automatically.

 

I recently became a US citizen. There was a check box on N-400 to get new SS card and update citizenship status automatically. This hasn't happened so I'm going to SSA in person.
