.. Sorry for being vague lately, finding all this out has actually upset me and shook up most of the things I thought I knew about Gary.. I can prove with the court paper that Gary was considered with evidence to be my 'putative father', which means he agreed to and was then held resposible for...

Thank you again.. Following your advice, I have decided to postpone my US Embassy appointment for a passport - like you say just until I can get more evidence together.. Knowing the way the digging is turning out - it seems nothing is absolutely certain with me lol..

And once again, my circumstances have changed since writing the above.. My UK based lawyer has now found in the court paper mentioned above on the second page my mother, way back in 1981, when taking my father to court had to proof with evidence that I was indeed his child to which under oath my...

Thank you Baikal3 and JackOLantern again.. There are other routes such as my US grandparents did help us financially when my father disappeared - it wasn't a great deal though, certainly not akin to maintenance but more like an apology at the situation.. I also have the UK court paper stating...

Thank you for the advice.. Hmm, I have asked an immigration lawyer if I qualify for this as I was worried about the criteria and was told that it will be hard but that I have a good case.. My father must've acknowledged my birth once in around 1979 in a letter to his parents in which he...

I have been going down the 'Child born out of Wedlock' route and gathering evidence to that effect since the details on my parents 'marriage' is vague at best.. I don't think they were married as none of my mother's friends or relatives can recall the event and stranger still, none have...

Yes, I read that as was what you meant particularly with regards to the court paper. It's just something my mother gave me I'm making sure I have Gary's (my father) ENTIRE life for evidence - I have all of it from birth, including school and militiary records and where he lived with his...

Again, thank you.. I've got to consider how all this looks to an official investigator aswell.. Especially when you consider my age, it must look very odd.. I've got the forms, I've got the evidence on the way, I've got the appointment with the passport office - so let's see what happens..

Thank you.. At the moment, the records are looking like he went straight into the military from school.. I think this one will need some digging.. Thank you for the advice..

Thank you Baikal3 and Jackolantern Oh I'm in the process of collating a huge stack of documents lol.. Since my last post, I've got my dad's military records and high school records on the way from my lovely Aunt in the US.. I've got his birth and death certificates ordered and as of last...

Thank you again.. Ok.. Surely I would need to prove my case for US citizenship before I can get the US passport??.. I think yours and others earlier advice will be useful - I'm going to hire a lawyer to sort all this out for me.. I really don't want to get this wrong lol.. I wasn't aware...

Thank you.. Thank you for your response - I appreciate absolutely any help I can get.. I'm struggling to find a decent UK lawyer/attorney/notary (whatever!) at the moment!!.. One who is able to authenticate documents and just check over the paperwork for me so I can complete the USCIS N-600...

Next move for me.. Thank you so much for your advice.. I think my next steps are going to be hire an attorney in the UK who specialises in immigration/emigration and ask my aunt and grandmother for help on tracing my father's early life and steps, I think I might just give them all the...

Thank you Jackolantern and Baikal3!! Right.. What a blinking red tape swamp this is!!... So if I can prove my father was on US soil (which is easy enough) for some 25 years prior to my birth - I MAY (possibly) be able to claim US citizenship through family this way, is that right??.. I suppose...

Thank you Hello there, Yes my dad was a US citizen when I was born.. He lived all his life in the US, apart from the 5 years he spent in the UK working.. I was born some 2/3 years into the placement (I don't know the exact details lol).. Yes he married a UK citizen (and they had me, born in...
