I am trying to get citizenship under the fact that my great-grandfather never became a citizen. I am having trouble proving that he never became naturalized. What forms or documents do I need to get this proof?
I would really appreciate any answers at all,
thanks!
Proof of non-citizenship.
Re: Proof of non-citizenship.
You will need to file a Form 639 with Homeland Security through the FIOA (Freedom of Information Act). If your great grandfather never naturalized, they will send you a statement of "no record."
Re: Proof of non-citizenship.
Will that be enough? I was told by italiandualcitizenship.com that I would need 3 proofs of no records. They told me that the FOIA one isn't enough. I am from Rhode Island, so I will be going to the Boston consulate; will they be requiring 3?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: Proof of non-citizenship.
Some consulates are more demanding than others, but for most the "no record" letter is sufficient. If you can't reach the Boston people by telephone, post a message on the forum of www.italylink.com I believe there are a few people there who have gone through Boston.
