    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I do know that to be a dual citizen of Canada you do have to cross the border at least once a year to retain dual citzenship. My fathers brother lives here and has dual citizenship and has to follow these rules. I have no real desire to go to Canada once a year. And I haven't been there since...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I am not sure if she took any trips back between 1975 and 1977. I will have to ask her. I am sure she did. My mother is very close to her sister who is still alive and to her other sister and her mother who have since passed away. I can not imagine that she did not see them for a prolonged...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    Just to clear a few things up.....my mother left shortly before her 19th birthday.....20 days to be exact. I told the immigration person this and still she didn't think there would be an issue, especially since my sisters N-600 was approved. My mother said all she showed was mine, my sisters and...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I went to immigration today and it looks like they are going to try to expidite things for me. The woman I spoke to was very sympathetic to my situation. She said normal processing times for the N-600 right now are about a month. But she said she will put a rush on it. I also spoke to my...

    I wrote to Obama and tomorrow I am going to fax a release to Congressman Stephen Lynch allowing him to discuss my case with immigration. Hopefully this will speed up the process.

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    She never had a passport. Getting 40 year old records is impossible. She happened to have one of her report cards, but her school has closed and they said they didn't keep the records. I feel like this isn't going to be enough.

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    My father had a green card when they were married not citizenship. I told the passport office that my father wasn't a US citizen so apparently I can't apply for a passort through parentage. I agree about immigration telling me I shouldn't be working. My thing was if I shouldn't be working...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I called the passport office and they said because I was born before 1983 i need to prove citizenship of both parents to receive a passport through parentage. This is a nightmare. I think my only option is to file the N-600 tomorrow, bat my eyelashes and give them my sob story in the hope that...

    I have not seen my father or heard from my father since 1979, so that is really not an option.

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I have looked into applying for a passport also. My concern there is that it states on the application instructions they check your social security number to determine eligibility. If the social security office has a note somewhere in the system stating I need to talk to immigration, wouldn't...

    I understand that I am under all probability a US Citizen. I have the N-600 to fill out and all of my mothers paperwork. My question was could I still work and is there any way to speed up getting this certificate.

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I have both my birth certificate and my mothers. I have given my mother an earful for putting me in this position. I think she was young and ignorant to what needed to be done. I have contacted the consulate and they told me because now that I am an adult there is nothing they can do to...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    My mother said she got my social security card when I was a baby. She gave it to me when I became an adult. Immigration said they have no record of me and I should not be voting or working. They didn't give me anything in writing stating that but I am afraid that I won't be able to work again...

    Born in Canada to US Parent

    I lost my social security card and when I went to go get a new one the ss office told me they couldn't give me a new one until I talked to immigration. I was born in 1977 to a US born mother and Canadian father. My mother went to Canada in 1975 and returned in 1979. When she came back she never...
