I will double and triple check. I understand about the rabbit hole. As for the real ID, I don't plan to get, passport is good enough. I've been down that road as an Arkansan. I will look into probably getting, just to not deal with the BS. I appreciate it very much Just received an email from the post office that the passport has been delivered..YAY

I hear ya. It’s always good to have a backup. I did not think of the passport card. As for the N-600, I thought hard about it but ready many suggested it wasn’t worth it. As my adopted son is 5. Here in Arkansas, the passport and even his certificate of foreign birth will let him get a drivers license, register to vote and more. Yeah I know how they are. My mom retired from working for the state. As for military, he will still be able to join, can get a security clearance of confidential, secret with a little more investigation (I used to do this while in). I understand some ramifications. Will cross them later. I will speak with the wife again and determine should we get the N-600. thanks for the advice

Thank you. Only applied for the passport book. For what reason for the N-600 if he has the passport. From what I read on here from others, it’s not necessary only if you want for your records. Maybe I understood wrong. The passport is proof enough. once I receive the passport, I will schedule an appointment with Social Security to update his file. With the passport, his file will be updated from legal resident to citizen. That is what I was told the last time I was in SS office

Thank you. It was a long shot in sending the insurance card and VA dependent application, because I could not find the actually letter showing he’s been added, until a few days later while cleaning out a closet. The lady who was working on his passport application was a fellow veteran and she understood.

***Update*** I sent in what they asked for. As for the proof of financial responsibility, as I mentioned on my adopted sons insurance card, it says effective 11/15/2018, plus I had the stamped application to add him as my dependent from the VA, and the receipt showing I paid the bill for the medical exam last year. Today, received an email from the person working on his passport application from the State Department requesting a copy of my and my wife’s passport. Sent via email and the person responded saying his passport was approved and will get within a week. Well about 2 hours ago I got an email saying his passport has been shipped and will receive tomorrow along with the supporting documents. So, good news. Thanks for all y’all’s help and support throughout the process from applying for the IR-1, IR-2 and the passport application. A big thanks

Okie dokie. Will wait another year. Thanks for the advice

The child was born to wife’s previous BF. It took us two years to get DNA tests, then his termination of rights from Israel as the biological father lived in Israel. Then finally after receiving the court’s termination of rights from Israel, we had to get termination of rights approved from a Ukrainian judge. Finally all was done. I’ve had physical custody since he was 2 years old, as we were waiting for the termination of rights to be finalized. After moving back to USA and they received their green cards, plus SSN cards, they were finally enrolled in my Champva insurance. Per their ChampVA insurance card, it says coverage effective November 2018. The date we were married, as ChampVA effective dates start the day we were married. Could I send a copy of the insurance card? If so, my sons insurance card has his previous last name as we are still waiting for the new card.

Thanks, I appreciate it

As for working in Ukraine, no. I receive VA compensation and it’s tax exempt. It is counted as income for financial support. Provided proof of VA benefits is all that is needed. As for proof of residence with the child, we lived with my wife’s parents in their home. Ukraine has what is called registration where you live in order to obtain temporary permit residence. However, in order to obtain this document now, would be a very long wait due to the situation going on. As for proof of name change, that did not happen until this year. They came to US July of last year, and the adoption was not final until March of this year. The final adoption decree, and name change was this year. These documents along with marriage certificate was sent with initial passport application.

My income is tax exempt

Hello all. Forgive me if this question has been asked before. I’ve adopted my stepson after he and my wife entered USA last year. He’s 5 years old and understand he becomes a US citizen once the adoption was final. I’ve applied for his US passport and submitted the required documents. Today I received a letter from the New Orleans passport office asking to send: original adoption documents (sent with passport app) original marriage certificate between I and his mother (sent with passport app) send his green card or I-55 stamp (sent a certified copy as per calling and confirming it was ok) and they requested documents showing he’s been in my care or custody for the last two years. That I’ve not sent how to send any documents pertaining to being in my care due to the fact we lived in Ukraine for the last 4 years since being married. Ukraine doesn’t have such documents, and due to the fact I’m not required to file taxes, plus they not having SSN card until coming into USA last year, what can I show? I do have his insurance card stating he’s had insurance for the last four year, however it shows his previous last name. I’ve requested new insurance cards with his new last name, but my insurance (ChampVA) is 7 months backlogged in processing new information. Any advice is much appreciated. thank you
