just to close this up. Port Authority reversed their decision, and allowed me to get my ID with just a passport and social security card. I did not ever get a chance to speak with them. As far as I know, naturalized citizens are the only ones being hassled for their certificate.

no updates. I am sorely upset that I have postponed it, i've been putting a lot of overtime in, and its tough to wake up two hours earlier to go. I have put it if off until this monday, realizing I should not put it off any later. *edit: if anyone wants to arm me with any info, I would surely...

wow thanks for the heads up. Perhaps I should not do anything until I speak with Port Authority on Monday. As for the discrimination thing, I absolutely see this as a classic case of discrimination. They did not require U.S. born passport holders to prove it with a birth certificate. They...

I was... Born in Kiev, Ukraine, April 20, 1987. Came to New York, USA in 1992 when I was 5 years old. My father got his naturalized citizenship certificate on April 19, 2000. I did not receive any documentation for myself. I did obtain my U.S. passport in May, 2003. It states that my...
