Dave,

 

Also included in the package from American Citizen Services is an application for a Social Security number. When you pick up the Consular report of a birth abroad, they'll give you certified copies of your passport and your daughter's which you'll have to mail to Manila, along with the application, etc.

They'll tell you it may take 4 months to receive the S.S. card; but, in says in the package it may only take two months.

Do need to keep straight which passport to present when. Leaving Bangkok and traveling to the U.S., a dual national needs to present the U.S. passport to the airline check-in counter. Why? The airline needs to know you can get into the U.S. If they don't check and a traveler is turned back, U.S. immigration will fine them. Then, present the Thai passport to immigration at the departure desk. Why? So they can determine the traveler isn't a non-Thai who has stayed too long. When you get to the U.S., present the U.S. passport for obvious reasons. No need to present the Thai passport, but don't hide it in a shoe in the bottom of the suitcase either.

 

Oh, BTW, congratulations!!!
