Interview today, denied due to U.S. Citizen father

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Yes, I think your plan is sound. Make an appointment with citizen services and explain the situation and bring your proof that he doesn't meet the residency requirements. Though I wonder, you say he was here "doing vacations and trips." I am not sure if trips of months and months can add up to make 5 years, but it might. You also said above that he DID make the residency requirements, you said he was here for more than five years. Either way, I think proof and an appointment with citizen services is the way to go. Good luck.

Well, I know I posted above that he had met his residency requirements but I found out that it was UNDER the age of 14. He was present in the States from the time he was born until he was about 5, and then made visits when he was older, but nothing even totaling up to a year in that.

He misinformed me last night and corrected it today, as well as his mother corrected him as well and both their information matches.

The lack of proof/evidence should be fitting enough to prove that he was not in the States for longer than 2 years over the age of 14, as I have his word.. That's the only

proof I can produce, and back in those days, of 1965 and on, they didn't have passports or any way of identifying people that went over the border..

I'm thinking my lack of evidence/proof should PROVE (as funny as this sounds) that I am not eligible for transmission of Citizenship.

Would I be correct in this?

I would still have to make the appointment in Vancouver, but my idea is that I do this interview, and they pass this on to the K1 Visa unit, and when they are satisfied, that I will get my K1 Visa.

I just have to try and give information to the best of my knowledge.

Sorry for any confusion!

transfer the knowledge you've gained to paper,

in the form of an affadavit,

listing the facts and the timeline,

have yer father sign it, get some notarial stamp on it

then present it back to the IV unit.

Good luck !

That's next to impossible. My dad is in Nova Scotia, and I haven't seen him in 10 years.

We aren't on very good speaking terms.

Edit : What's the IV unit?
