Hello everyone,
I really really hope this forum can help me answer some questions I have around proof of citizenship.
I moved to USA and got married in 2001. after the whole immigration process I finally ended up in an office in Phoenix where I was asked some questions and then congratulated on my new status as a us citizen.
In my pile of papers in this process which took about 4 years i have nothing that shows proof of citizenship.
My issue came about when I decided to travel back to my birth country Denmark and discovered that my pass port is expired. In my attempt to renew I was told that I needed proof of citizenship.
I can't even imagine not having received such a certificate when I was finally approved, but this is my question: is that not sent to me automatically?
Secondly, if I cant get this proof of citizenship fast enough ( I hear up to 2 moths) is there another way for me to obtain temporary passport or similar so I can travel?
Where do I go to get my proof of citizenship?
And what will I need in that process to show of documents?
Any help sure is appreciated, I feel lost as to where to begin and bummed that
I may not travel home this Christmas because I waited too long to look through all this.
Sincerely,
Michael Madsen
