A big mistake

Tweet

When I got married in 2016, I took on my husband‘s last name. That meant that I had to update my last name in different places. One of them was the Social Security card. I went to the Social Security office to update my last name on my Social Security card and to also get rid of the phrase on it that said something along the lines of INS authorization required for work. While I was there it turned out that in the system it did not say that I was a US citizen. I found that very strange because I was in fact a US citizen. And for a long time. I had to provide them with my certificate of citizenship to prove that I was in fact a US citizen. I still don’t understand how this mix-up could’ve happened. It just makes no sense.
