Hello,
I am asking my elderly mother (born 1935), a Canadian citizen, who is the child of two U.S. born parents (now both deceased) to claim her right to US citizenship so as I can in turn apply for USC as her son. We are planning on applying directly for a passport, and bypassing the INS, as I understand she is able to do so based on her right to citizenship. Does this sound correct? Her parents were very young, pre school-age children actually, when they immigrated to Canada and we are trying to establish what can be used to determine, or prove, residency in the US. I understand that no specific minimum period of residency is required (based on when my mother was born) but since it was so long ago it is not going to be easy to prove residency. I understand the usual routes, school, employment,records etc., but what can be used to prove physical residency in this unusual circumstance? Thanks in advance. Great forum !!
