DS-11 Passport Application

[nickcentric]

Hello everyone (again),

okay, so i posted the other day (it's actually right under this in the passports section) and haven't received any responses. This is either because no one has any answers OR maybe i just wrote so bloody much that no one could be bothered reading it.

So in point form:

• I qualify for an American Passport through my American father
• My father has lived in the US for more than 5 years (with 2 of those years after his 14th bday)
• I am, however, having a lot of trouble proving this as my father lived in the US in the 50's/60's when he was younger. He went to school in Australia (so there aren't school records) and never worked there (hence no payslips, tax etc etc) but he was there with his family on school holidays and for a few years after school and this time is enough to make up the 5 years.
• I can get him to make a sworn statement that he was there - but, will that be enough?
• Data from arrivals/departures to/from the US was only kept after 1982 and my father doesn't have his old passports - so, no help there.

I am starting to think this is impossible. Any ideas from anyone? Will the interviewer take my father on his sworn statement (verified by a judge or KOP)?

I hope someone out there can help me!

Nick.
