<p>I just received a letter from the Financial Aid office from one of my schools. They are asking for my U.S Birth certificate or Green Card. I have neither, since my dad just passed the citizenship test last year. What do I send them instead?</p>
<p>What is your immigration status? </p>
<p>Did your dad become a citizen yet, or is he still waiting for his date to take the oath? If that is the case, you need to contact the school and ask what you should do.</p>
<p>If your dad did take the oath and become a naturalized citizen, did you become a citizen at the same time as your dad? If so, you should have a citizenship document that you can submit.</p>
<p>Yes, my father already took the oath. I think the citizenship document is my passport, which is expired. No worries though! I called the college and its all set now.</p>
<p>Your dad’s citizenship doesn’t matter, just yours. If you are naturalized citizen, you should have a certificate of naturalization. If you are a birthright citizen, you should have either a birth certificate issued by the state or territory where you were born, or a consular report of citizen birth abroad. No matter how you got to be a U.S. citizen, a current or expired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.</p>
<p>I’m glad you’ve got your situation worked out. The details above are just for the next kid who reads this thread.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you all!</p>
