US Citizenship Claim from Deceased Parent

He wouldn't have to go to a passport agency, he can just go to a consulate. They will most likely forward his application to DOS for further processing. I don't think he will have any problems applying for a further visa, since a denied passport application doesn't deny future visas.

I'm curious if the man in question applies for a passport and gets rejected if it would affect his visitor's visa or hurt his chances of getting a new visa afterwards.

Well attempting to get a USA passport would show intent to move to the USA. That could only make it harder to get a visitors visa in my opinion. Might be better to get the visitors visa first, confer with a good lawyer who would know exactly how the law stood, and if he has the required evidence to get USA citizenship. Beyond being qualified per the laws, there is likely a burden of proof he's going to need to show.

Get information from an immigration lawyer at $15 a topic. http://www.justanswer.com/. It's 100% legit. I used this site when I needed information and I got some great answers.

Applying for a US passport doesn't show intent. Otherwise all children who had CRBA's filed would also live in the US. It would be more a clearence if there is a claim to citizenship. But I agree ont he proof, he will have to provide everything.

How you or I view isn't the point, what is the point is how will a CO view it, who is trained to think everyone has intent to stay in the USA to begin with. It sounds like he only wants to be able to visit the USA. I'd lock down that ability first before throwing any flags up that might make it harder to do.

As mentioned in the original post he already has a vistor's visa which he has used many times and has never over stayed when he has traveled here. The card is a border crossing card. It says B1/B2 on it. When he visits he gets an separate card that is an I-94 departure arrival record that has a stamped date. And it says how many days he has until that card must be turned back in at the border when he leaves. They usual grant 6 months at a time.

I must have forgotten that from the original post. With such a record, I doubt trying to see if he is a citizen would have any affect at all on future visitor visas.
