There is another form (I-508) he will need to fill out to explain his A visa status and duties, and to also renounce his diplomatic status. Similar to what I had to go through.

Why not apply for a US passport or passport card?

What is it with the confusion? OP said he/she reported to his/her school when status changed from F1 to LPR. And now OP just recently became a USC and didn’t state if he/she was still in school or not. Also, CBP wouldn’t have let OP back in had OP claimed USC when in fact not, even with a valid LPR card. The question was if this was normal to be always asked if you were a prior F1 visa holder. And answered, albeit, not directly but more of a suggestion.

Either. But, unless you wrote your entry in prints and are very legible, I would just print the filled out pdf and then sign. you don’t need the instructions printed.

I was in the same boat and everything I had were still valid. There really is no time constraint in updating your status. Most important is going to be your passport. This will give you a backup proof that you are now a US citizen, in case you misplace your NC. First thing that is not resource intensive on your end is to schedule the appointment with USPS to get your US passport. Submit your application, your photos (some USPS has the option to take your photo as well), and your Certificate of Naturalization (original). Set and forget, until you get the certificate and your passport back. Next is your driver's license or social security. If your driver's license is still valid, I would leave that alone until you need to renew. For social security, fill out the application and put in a piece of paper that you just need to update your citizenship. Depending on your local office, they may ask you to come in or mail in your passport and other proof along with the application. You should call your local office and find out what the process is. Unless you need to claim social security benefits immediately, there is no pressing time on when you should update this.

Congratulations. I’m so happy for you! You might be one of the last ones of September 2020 filers.

Speaking from a personal experience here: My sister was adopted and got her US citizenship when my step-father got his citizenship and my mother got het green card. My step-father has passed away and my mother had gotten her citizenship, since, So, now mom is trying to settle up all affairs here before moving back to her home country to retire and one of the thing was to make sure my sister was taken care of. She then found out that my sister’s passport had expired and lost her passport before she turned 21 last year. In December, my sister applied for a renewal so she could go to Indonesia with her, but for whatever reason, the application was returned and she was asked to supply proof of citizenship. Now we are all scrambling to get her N600 filed. Take this story with a grain of salt.

Marriage, usually. But there are also many other reasons, like just wanting a new name, etc. Glad it worked out in the end. Congratulations!

K1 might use this as denial. If it's just insurance, your fiancée can buy international insurance from here that will cover him for Brazil.

I was able to have my wife with me. I was told that I could have 2 people with me.
