Thanks. I see no exp. date at all on the card.

Thanks for all input.

Problem with Obama-Care and SS is that the Alien number will not register so I am under the impression that she is in need of a "newer" number in a different format.

I have no idea what her current status may be: I do know that there has been no adjustments since we have been together (20 years). I know absolutely nothing regarding immigration so this has been a tough cookie.

She has worked from day 1 and gets earning statements from IRS.

Oh, man; the anxiety this is creating.

As our funds are limited, I will try to find an org that may be able to help in these legal matters. Not sure who/what is legitimate but have been diligently seeking out valid options.

Thanks again,

Let's get it out there that I am way over my head.

My partner of almost 20 years is Thai and she has been in America since 1972. The last document she has (that I know of) is a Resident Alien IR1 with an Adj date of Sept, 1972. She and the husband "tied" to the card have parted long ago and she has been married several times since to other US citizens.

She is reaching retirement age and the immigration thing is going to stall the process I am sure. Now at 65 years of age, not able to read/write English (or any other language) and her inabilities becoming more pronounced as her age advances; what would be our first steps in securing her citizenship and thereby her social security (hopefully). I know no-one's social security may be guaranteed these days, but she has worked like a fiend for the betterment of not only the US, but of mankind in general (all documented along with a valid SSN).

I know it may seem everyone has been dragging their feet (fact).

If any other info is needed to provide accurate advice; we will provide the info.

She also receives her earning statements from the IRS every couple years. Valid SSN.

I appreciate all input as I am a bit out of my league with law and to boot immigration. I'm not new to research and do not mind the legwork: Just need a kick in the right direction because of being overwhelmed. I have been trying to get her Medicare/Medicaid started as well but when it comes to entering any kind of A# for the resident, the format is incorrect as the number (on the physical card) is one digit short of a valid (newer?) A#. I also had this formatting issue when I tried to sign her up for Obama-care. Therefore my suspicion that all these immigration issues would have to be taken care of first.

Sincere thanks,

Jody
