Its likely to be a spent conviction, a quashed (not squashed) conviction is dismissed by the courts. You will have to see the laws regarding spent convictions, its unlikely alone to effect emigration to canada.

I'm sorry to hear your story, I think I can guide you at least with the first part of your problem.  Since you are leaving in the States you should find the closest Guatemalan consulate and ask for their help. They might help you in getting your birth certificate and maybe in copies of your adoption papers.  I hope you find a solution to your problem.

The only way I could see them not letting you use it is if it wasn't paid in full.  Contact the cemetery, ask them what it was really about.  And you have the right to copies of anything you signed.  I have never heard of that excuse before.  I doesn't matter where he lived.  Get a copy of what you signed and if you feel they were wrong get a lawyer.  That was pretty low and thoughtless of them to tell someone something like that the day of the funeral.  I am really sorry you had to go thru something like that after losing your father.  My condolences.

Yes. The process is exactly the same once he is already in the country. Just get a license from your county clerk's office and have the ceremony.

If your father was born in Liverpool then;\n\n the National  Registry ,of Births, Deaths and Marriages\n should be able to confirm that .;\n\n That i believe, would make him a British citizen already .\n\nthen it would be a matter of application and  visa \n\n I hope you are  successful , \nGood pastors are so needed, both  here  and abroad.\n\nI hope  your Dad is soon here ,with  his passport in hand . \n do let us know,  how you get on .,\n \n>^,,^<

I have no clue aside from finding where they kept their important files / papers / documents (car title, mortgage receipts, contracts, etc) and look  through them.\n\nUsually the closest relative has access to these papers.\nI would guess a slow painful manual search calling insurance companies giving them the name and address of the deceased may help, but would be as I said.., painfully slow.

They just want to know where you live so if they need to contact you they can. It does not matter where you live. If you are emancipated they will not care any about your brother. Proof of residency can be proved through your taxes they will send you paperwork if they need it.

There won't be any problem, the immigration system will allow you to sponsor him through a visa. They will background check him though. This will take alot of time, with all the budget cuts. It is mostly red-tape and hassle that you will experience. You would actually do better if you went to the UK right now, and did it there.

look I think the law applies equal in every Italian embassy, so I'll say this: My grandpa also renounce to the italian citizen  and we found ourselves in problem) then we found out that if he did it after 1947 (something like that) we still could make him trough him.\nWell it might seem no good news for you, but next to me , at the embassy, was this girl that had the same trouble than you , (her dad renounce to it) so they gave her (don't remember exactly what) a certain amount of requirement to fullfill.\nSo, my advice is, go to the closest embassy or consulate and find out what to do, after you start the process you might look for a kind of visa to work in Italia and  accelerate the papers there.

Maybe the British Embassy in Rhodesia, they will have some sort of record of her emmigration I think. One word of advice to her though, remember your parents are the ones who brought you up and loved you dried your tears and bathed your knees when you fell. Good luck

I believe so.  I would call either the immagration office, or a lawyer that gives free advice.  They can tell you if there is any longer wait time, etc.

It may take a little work and a little money,but the best thing to do is to first sit down with your parents or grandparents and collect important dates,like births, deaths, departures, and arrivals. Then the office of public records usually has death certificates and other information for about $5-$15 per document. Including birth records, and immigration list and charts. Don't fall for those crappy genealogy sites, they kinda just give you a general idea, about your last name etc. Now, if you want even further the National Geographic Society will send you a kit, and test your DNA and send you a map which will show your ancestral history back 100s of years. i hoped this helped .G'luck

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.
