I do know that my grandfather never naturalized. I checked with Mahoning county, OH, where he lived and they had a "statement of intent to naturalize" that he filed in court, but that's the only record they had. Also checked with the regional office (Chicago NARA?) to see if he had pursued...
Hi everyone, I am asking for advice here....I filed a G-1041 form for a genealogy search done at the DHS and received the results. They found a record, but it's not my grandfather's, it's somebody else with the same name. At this point I need to get a letter of no record from them, but when I wrote ...
OK, I need to have the record searched to see if my GF was ever naturalized, and since I'm going for dual citizenship, I need a copy of whatever they have. Which form do I use? G-1041 or G-1041A?
I received a copy of my GF's declaration of intention today from the Ohio Mahoning County Court. It shows my gf's renouncement of his Italian citizenship in September of 1926. This is after my mother's birth in 1916, so I should still be able to apply for dual citizenship. Is this document (the decl...
I saw the same notice on the USCIS website, so decided to wait until the 13th to make my request for naturalization documents. I haven't been able to find the actual fee schedule, though, or any downloadable forms for making a request from that program.
Today when I spoke to the Detroit consulate, they instructed me to not bother to order any forms without first doing a naturalization search to see if my GF was ever naturalized. (he wasn't, but of course, I have to prove that) He emigrated from Italy to Mahoning County in Ohio. When I talked to the...
If any of you have experienced having to make affadavit amendments to a document regarding spelling of a surname, would you please post the steps involved? thanks!
Hi everyone. I am just getting started on the process and although I *think* I understand what's needed, I could use a little hand-holding from someone who has already done this. First: my cousin and I are both planning on applying for dual citizenship. She is in Philly and I am in Cleveland. We're ...
One family member lives in Philly, so would use the Philly consulate, but I live in Ohio. 1. Can I use any consulate? 2. Which consulate serves the Ohio area? 3. If we have to use two separate consulates, can we have the documentation transferred from one to the other? 4. Will we have to appear in p...
At least one of my cousins and I are both interested in obtaining dual citizenship, and we are certain that we qualify. More of our cousins may be interested in pursuing dual status as well. Currently, we have xerox copies of many of the documents needed to prove that our grandfather was never natu...
