A: There may be other issues that you have not considered concerning the trivet of citizenship. I strongly recommend an evaluation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications.

The above is general information, not legal advice, it does not create an attorney client relationship.

A: Start by contacting the USCIS National Customer Service Center.

A: If you have determined that your birth year was incorrectly recorded on your citizenship application and that you are actually eligible for derived citizenship, you may be able to correct the error by submitting a request to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

You can start by contacting the USCIS National Customer Service Center to request information about the appropriate procedure for correcting the error. You may need to submit a new application for citizenship or an amended application that includes the correct information about your birth year and your eligibility for derived citizenship.

You may also need to provide supporting documentation such as your birth certificate and any other relevant documents to prove your eligibility for derived citizenship. It is important to carefully review the USCIS instructions for your specific situation and to ensure that all required documents are submitted correctly and on time.

If you have any questions or concerns about the process, you may want to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to ensure that your application is completed correctly and efficiently. The attorney can also provide guidance on any potential issues or complications that may arise during the process.
