IR2 children arrived, how to get them naturalized?

[Vytra 9]

According to the USCIS, 

Children with IR-2 visas that are: under 18 years old automatically acquire U.S. citizenship after admission to the United States if they reside in the United States with their parents.

 

They arrived to the U.S. a few days ago. My wife and I are both U.S. citizens. We all went to the SSA, but they were unable to issue them social security cards. They said we would need some kind of further evidence. This is important for us because they have just received health insurance (temporarily approved), but we need to submit proof of citizenship and SSNs within three months.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. They are eligible for SS cards based on their endorsed IR2 visas. Try again 

 

2. Apply for their U.S. passports and passport cards using their endorsed IR2 visas, your marriage certificate, and your original evidence of U.S. citizenship: U.S. birth certificate, CRBA, naturalization certificate, certificate of citizenship,

Don't you need to submit original documents for the passport? So, we would need to detach the IR2 visas from the passport and submit them?

Don’t detach the visa from the passport. Submit the whole passport

Aah okay. I hope the person who works at the post office will accept it. We live in a fairly rural part of the country so I assume they don't encounter these situations frequently.

You need to send the entire passport.

I would assume so. You will need a plan B (an acceptance facility at the county office) and a plan C (go to an actual passport agency office).
