My credential is old. Understandable, but I have a problem...

I was born in the U.S. in 1996 and immigrated to Israel with my family in 2000. My father was a dual citizen at the time, and we knew beforehand that we were going to immigrate, so he had a request that I be properly registered as an Israeli citizen in addition to my American citizenship. We moved to Israel, and we became Israeli citizens, and I began serving in the army in 2015. I completed my service in 2017 and left the country that same year for various reasons to live in the U.S. I didn't think I would be staying long enough to even bother getting a driver's license, but instead my parents asking me to help my elderly grandmother with her house, yard work, and being a companion to her.<br><br>I'm here to provide for my grandmother the best I can, but I have to stay in the U.S. for the time being. In 2020, I decided I would get a driver's license, so I could find a full-time job and be able to take her out to her favorite parks or restaurants. I'm just now finding out that I have to get a social security card before I can renew my passport, but I don't have proof of lawful status in the U.S. This is an issue because I didn't realize that I would be staying in the country this long and, both the house and yard work have become more important than ever for her. It's not like my father and I didn't get a social security number for me, we just couldn't keep up with it, and figured I would be back in Israel by now. I have to renew my visa by May 2025, but I'm not sure how to prove lawful status in the U.S. going forward. Is anyone in a similar situation? Should I go to an immigration lawyer, or try to find a job first?<br><br>FIN.
