    Citizenship eligible but spouse's I-485 still pending- what to do?

    My intuition tells that it is better not to risk and better to wait for another few months and even a year till her I-485 is approved. But if I were you, I would struggle for her I-485 approval as soon as possible, writing letters to Senators and Representatives, Ombudsman, etc. if the case is...

    I need advice regarding Naturalization

Also, the US citizens are not required to carry passports or...

    Thanks for these directions! Indeed, we have already visited SSA today.

    Thanks to everyone who responded. About DL - we moved on 01/03/11 in the same town and changed address. We have separate white cards with address, but DL has our old address. Though my DL expires in 2014, I thought about changing it. My son's DL has something like "under 18 driver". He looks...
