Ok, here is the problem that I have. I have been living in the United States for over 20 years and has never applied for citizenship. I lost my wallet with my SSN and permanent alien card. I don't have any copies of it. Will i be able to just file for my citizenship or do i need to get my alien card replaced before i can file for citizenship? This is really stressing me out right now. I'm currently not working and find it hard to find a job without my proper paperwork. I cannot get my SSN unless I have my alien card.
