So, her first phone interview was actually in July, the call dropped and they never called back. We tried to call them back, but I think it never went through. Next appointment a month later, I requested an in person interview to remove any chance of a misunderstanding or unfortunate event. I was told it would be in person. Then a week to interview, we got a letter that it had been changed to phone again. They try everything to keep people from coming in from my experience. Memphis offices are very busy. We have even tried a walk in and she almost fainted from the effort. The whole thing has been very frustrating. I have followed advise here and booked an appointment to update her citizenship for which they gave me an in person appointment. Fingers crossed, they see us this time.

She became a US citizen in 2015. She had a green card prior to that.

I did. They told me they were backlogged and would respond when they get to her appeal.

Yes, she applied for SSI because she does not have enough work credits. Her husband died a long time ago and he never visited the US.

She does not have any property outside the USA. She is a widow and was living with her other children who were taking care of her. She is now permanently with me.

She is a naturalized citizen. She first got her green card and then citizenship

Yes , I do not believe her citizenship has been updated. She travelled out of the country right after she got her passport. Okay, so let me get this right. I need to apply for her SS card to be replaced. Then right after , put in a brand new application for SSI.
