You are entitled to US citizenship if he was naturalized before you were born. Otherwise, you could have gotten a US immigrant visa if he petitioned for you, but the petition would have been automatically invalidated by his death if the visa had not been issued yet.\n\nSorry.

Call the instution first to verify that they are legitimate.  Why would a foreign agency be asking you for your SSN?  Which is only valid in the US?  Be careful.

By personally visiting the SS office, just as if your son was born in the US.  All you have to show is that he is a US citizen.

I have recently run into the problem of getting a cousin into the States permanently from another country.\nI've asked around at work to other who have immigrated and heard some of the most ridiculous stories you could possibly imagine.\nOne girl had a similar problem as yours.\nHer legally married husband was already an American citizen and gainfully employed in a decent paying medical profession.\nBut it was still not enough to get her here.\nShe and her family were privately informed to get all of her PARENTS property, i.e., their automobiles and bank accounts transferred into HER name alone.\nWhen the records were checked...not delved into, just checked...she was admitted immediately.\n\nThey only wanted to prove she was not destitute and become a welfare recipient.\n\nShe assured me that after the proof of income in the bank accounts and two cars, it was never mentioned again.  And the money was NOT substantial.  Her mother was a secretary and her father a machinist.\n\nAfterwards they just transferred everything right back into her parents name as before.\nIt took three months.\nShe, of course, immediately became a naturalized Citizen upon her arrival to the States to forego any future problems.\nShe's been here for 6 years with no problems whatsoever.\nShe even found employment immediately... at a 7-11 down there street from me ran by a Filipino woman...neither really spoke English.  LOL\n\nBest of luck to you friend!

Yes, he can. Because he is a US citizen and you are his immediate relative. However, I would ask an immigration lawyer about how he can do it without having you to exit the country first.

One does not automatically give up their foreign citizenship by coming to America.  However, he may have done so at the time or some time after that.  Many Italian immigrants did to feel less ostracized and better assimiliate into society.  You would be better off asking an older family member (parent/aunt/uncle) who may know.  If not you can contact the Italian consulate closes to you and try to see if they can help you.  You will need your granfather's full name (his Italian one if he changed it), birth day, date of arrival in the US and any other information you can get your hands on to make it easier.

First: Have your father speak to someone at homeland security (immigration). If you have been granted residence as the child of a legal resident, you can now come and go as you please. You WILL need a "parole" document to return to the USA.\n\nThe Green Card process does take a while, but is a step in the citizenship process if this is something that you want to do one day.\n\nAgain, 1st thing to do: have your father contact homeland security to find out what is next, and how you can come into the country. If your tourist visa is still valid, you can use this to come and go.

no you cannot....you can only get us citizenship if you are under 18 and one of your parents was a citizen.

Check with an immigration lawyer. If you do something wrong it can ruin your chances of permanent residence and citizenship.

your son would be a citizen, but you need to prove it to the immigrations, unless you take your son to the US or file documents before your son is a certain age (i think 18) it will not be automatic. He will automatically be allowed into the country and get citizenship as long as you follow the correct procedures, but if you wait til he passes a certain age, it is too late, but this does not pass on to his children, unless he was a us citzen...\nMy cousin's father was a US citizen, he had her with a woman in another country. She visited the US all the time, but he never once filed for her to become a citizen, she offically lived in the country she was born, and her father died while she was a young child in the country she was born, which then made her in ineligible to claim her citizenship because now she is too old (now that she can do what she wants).\nThe US citizen parent though can still apply for the child, but it does not make the child a citizen, only a resident, but there are other criteria that would need to be actknowledged.

Maybe - it's tricky.  The Supreme Court has mostly struck down many laws forbidding loss of United States citizenship, but the Department of State still strongly discourages voluntary dual citizenship.\n\nGenerally, it's ill-advised, unless you have someone in this area who can help you very specifically to avoid the loss of citizenship.  The State Department notes, "A person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship. Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct.The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist citizens abroad."

I can't tell you when you will get a reply from INS, I can tell you that I had a similar experience.  It took over two years (AFTER my interview that I passed) before I was contacted to attend a naturalization ceremony.  I am Moroccan and was told the same thing as you, that it was the FBI check they were waiting for.  I contacted ACLU and my local representatives who made contacts with INS and FBI on my behalf.  I don't really know whether it helped or not but I did finally swear in and get my citizenship.  There is hope, but you may need to push them.  INS is all politics, so get your representatives involved.  On the other hand, if  you know you have a criminal history anywhere in the world or have been suspected of any crime, you may wait for a very long time, much longer than you have already.  \nI say, contact outside organizations that are there to help you, like ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) or a State Rep., even an attorney (make sure you get a well known Immigration attorney if you do this).  But keep your hopes up and keep up the inquiries!

nope, you need to go to the US consulate and get a new one.\nYou will have to pay the fee again and also meet all the requirements, the fact that you had a US visa that you lost will makes no difference. You need to be in possesion of one.\n\nVisas are generally issued the same day so timing shouldn't be a problem

If his dad is American then he deserves the citizenship...even if his dad is dead! But before that you can get the residency which will allow you to get a drivers license.\nGood luck!

It may depend on who your father designated as executor.\nIf the CD's were held in Joint Custody they should allow your mother to know. Contact the Banking Commisioner in the state where your father died.
