We already applied for State ID yesterday at the DMV, they will issue Real ID plus Senior ID for my mom - there is no fee if your parent is 62 and above in California DMV.  I'm not sure about other states. 

 

I will pay the 220 USD next week so they will send her Green Card.

Thanks for the update Lane btw did your mom apply for SSN before applying for the State ID and senior ID? What are the requirements at the DMV?

We just checked the option in the form DS 260 for SSN and within a week we received the SSN in the mail. 

 

For DMV, just her passport and her SSN id.

Oh damn. Sorry to hear that.  I'm glad they mailed it to us, cause the SSN office is so freaking busy, I will have to take a day off from work just to take care of it.

Update guys! 

 

For all the parents that undergo sputum in the Philippines,  after at least two weeks of arrival in the US,  the public health nurse will visit your place and will schedule your parent/s for a checkup in a clinic, it is free of charge. 

 

They did another X-ray and compared to the X-ray conducted in the Philippines, it the same result so my mom had to do sputum test for 3 again. Today was the last day. 

 

They also did blood work, they told us we will know the result of the blood work within a week and if the blood work is ok then they will close the case.

All you need is the A-number and the DOS case number to pay. 

 

I just received an update that they already mailed my mom GC today.

Hello everyone 

Me and my husband came to  the us in July after one year of our pd when our son applied for us. I have a question.  Can we take obamacare for our health insurance?  I heard it can cause problems at the time of applying for citizenship.  Any feedback will be appreciated. Tia

Hello - not sure what kind of problems would arise out of using insurance under ACA (Obamacare). As a permanent resident, you are entitled to purchase insurance on the marketplace. There is currently some discussion around a proposed rule that is related to the evaluation of Public Charge (see here: https://www.ilrc.org/public-charge), but again, this rule will not apply to naturalization. You might want to consult an agent/broker - you should be able to find that on healthcare.gov.
