Twelve years ago my brother's girlfriend went to Oklahoma City to do what she needed to to become a US citizen. When asked for identification, she presented her drivers license and social security card. They were shocked that she has a SS number and asked how she got it. She explained that when she was 15, she went to work at a burger joint and was told that she had to have a SS number. Her boss told her to go to the post office and get an application, she did, she filled it out and mailed it in per the instructions, and she received a SS card in the mail.
They spent over an hour trying to figure out what to do with her, and finally decided that even though she was born in Canada, since she had been in the US ever since she was 2 yrs old and had worked here with a SS number for the last four years, that she was a citizen.
I'm sure most people don't have it that easy, but she did, under her circumstances.
