Hello,
I have seen a few posts about people debating what to do first, update the SSN or obtain the passport. For a single person it seems straightforward, update your SSN, and perhaps the I-9 with your employer and then send the certificate to obtain the passport which will take several weeks. Now, what do you think about a family case in which there are children who might have obtained citizenship automatically, can one prove to the SSN that they are citizens without a certificate or passport in hand, or will it require a second trip to the SSN office?
Do you think it is a big deal to be a few weeks without proof of citizenship while the passport is processed?
The only thing I know for sure should be done first is register to vote
Anyway, just wanted to start this thread to see what people think would be the order of things in case of a family with automatic citizen children.
My 2 cents
