Q: What can i do if i dont have the date my dad became a citizen when im filling for citizenship.
My dad and i dont really talk no more he doesn't want to give me this information. What else can i do?
A:
See if your mom has copies of any old passports,or if she can recollect where they were living when he converted etc. She can probably get the information if your dad's becoming citizen had anything to do with her.
Maybe an uncle, aunt someone in the family can intervene.
A: If your dad filed for you after he became a citizen you can apply for a copy of your immigration file and see if the information is in it. The alternative is to put unknown as to the date. If you are a citizen by right immigration might let you know
A: You can write “unknown”. The reason the government wants to know this information is to determine if the applicant is already a citizen.
