Updating US Citizenship Status

After passing the US Naturalization Test, you still need to update your Lawful Permanent Resident status to US Citizen. This is not automatic. You need to go and update your citizenship status. To update US Citizenship status, you will need to visit your nearest Social Security office. Fill up the SS-5 Application form and bring this to the Social Security office. This form is the same for applying original or replacement Social Security card and for changing or correcting information on the Social Security card.

Please prepare and bring required documents prove age, identity, and U.S. citizenship or current lawful, work-authorized immigration status. Bring your Government-issued ID, passport or US Naturalization certificate.

If you have minor children, they are automatically a US Citizen. But to update their US Citizenship status, you still need a proof that they are US Citizen. The parent's US Naturalization certificate is not enough so they need to apply for US passport. This will be enough proof when you go to the Social Security to update their US Citizenship status.

What makes life In the United States of America better and so hard.

Living in the United States of America is better for me in terms of status in life. I will first mention good things about the US according to my experience. Here in the US, the value of money is higher. You get to buy things or foods which are considered expensive in the Philippines. You can enter Restaurant, shopping malls and casinos with just wearing shorts or casual attire. No one cares whatever you wear unlike in the Philippines. I never entered a casino or a Casino Resort in the Philippines. It feels like only the rick people go there and I think you have to wear something semi-casual or business attire. Not sure. I just heard it with some friends. In the Philippines, it feels like foreigners are richer and have better lives than me. But when I get to the US, I work with other race especially with the Americans, Mexicans, Vietnamese and we are just on the same level. What a nice feeling hahaha.
