Q: Need 2 apply 4 Medicaid the form says that getting Medicaid long term svs could affect my Immigration status-Need Help!
Got here when I was 4 & my folks got my Perm Residency (Green card?) many years ago. I would’ve already become a citizen like my mom & sis but I became disabled (another issue I need help w/since it seems that at least 1of my early docs messed up & is in jail 4 killing & harming others like myself) I still want 2 be a citizen but Disability doesn’t pay much which is why I need help so desperately. My sis is afraid that if I ask 4 more help they’ll refuse my citizenship app. My brother’s even in the military so we Only know the US but I NEED help. I’ve lost my job, apt,car & he’s ruined my life! I’ve used all my savings & 401k trying 2 survive. Can’t seem 2 get better. I’m paying 2 live in a tiny spare room at my moms & w/ my medical costs- I’ve nothing. I need 2 know what 2 do about applying 4 other programs (app is wanted ASAP) & can we do anything about the Doc(s) that ruined my life? Got a letter from the medical board but he’s already in jail! Please HELP! Contact me ASAP anytime!
A: OK, if your parents became US citizens -- or either one of them did -- before you turned 18, you acquired US citizenship automatically. You need to file Form N-600 to get a Certificate of Citizenship. Check the instructions for the fee-waiver document, Form I-912, to see if you can get the filing fee waived. These forms, and their instructions, are available at a helpful USCIS website, www.uscis.gov/forms. Good luck, friend.

Bottom line: If you are a US citizen already the warning doesn't apply to you!
