Anything else should I do after becoming a U.S. citizen?

[soniasandy]

Dear all:

After my naturalization ceremony, I have done the following:

1. Apply for a U.S. passport to serve as evidence of citizenship.

2. Register to vote.

3. Change status from "LEGAL ALIEN ALLOWED TO WORK" to"CITIZEN" in local SSA. They will send me a new social security card in two weeks.

4. I went to DMV to ask if I should fill out any forms to change the status. They said NO.

Did I miss anything? Anything else should I do?

Appreciate your response.

If you have any brokerage account (ameritrade/datek..etc) or any mutaul funds you might have to check with them.

W.r.t. item # 3, does your SSN card shows LEGAL ALIEN ALLOWED TO WORK?

No, those words not shown on my Social Security Card.
But that's my exact situation.

As I know, there are four categories of SS card.
1. U. S. citizen.
2. Legal alien allowed to work.
3. Legal alien not allowed to work.
4. Other.

To my knowledge, only #3 showed on the card. Maybe I am wrong.

If you live in California you should put your name on the recall election ballot.
