Revoking US Citizenship

[tryhy1 0]

After someone get US citizenship, he can receive notice to revoke citizenship within 2 years. If he do not reply within 60 days, citizenship will be cancelled.

My question is, what if he is not known about receiving this notice, for example.. he is out of city.. or may be he travel to his native country... if he is not known.. still his citizenship cancelled after 60 days?

That's strange - never heard about such a thing.

From what I know, the US citizenship can be revoked if found out that someone lied to obtain it either in the naturalization process or during ROC, AOS etc.

Where did you get that info?

Revoking citizenship is a very serious issue and if there was something that came up that was serious enough to cause this actions to be initiated then there is probably little that can be done to stop it.

If within two years of becoming a citizen the USCIS finds that the person acquired citizenship through misrepresentation, then administrative revocation can take place. So when the USCIS finds out that there has been fraud during the process they will send you a notice. Of course you better reply to that notice. This only happens when they suspect that someone filed for citizenship in an illegal way. When you leave the country make sure the mail gets to you in one way or the other or... call the USCIS and tell them... hey, I might be an illegal citizen, please sent my mail to ....

I think only you know whether there is a reason for them to start a revocation procedure so... when you became citizen through misrepresentation, you know... when you gamble, you might lose... that's the game. Most of us people won't have that problem.. for the very few that file illegal... I don't feel sorry at all. They are the reason immigration laws become more stricter and stricter.

Tryhy1,

where have you found this? Was it very dusty?

Have you ever won in the lottery, big time, twice in a row?

Have you been a Nazi Officer in WWII, have you tried to overthrow a Government, have you been King of a country, or have you worked for a terrorist organization and failed to disclose it every step of the way until now?

If you can answer "No" to all of these questions, I think you can go back to bed. And if you have been a really bad boy in the past, don't worry about notifying the US Government about your whereabouts . . . they'll find you, I promise!

Are you saying the USCIS has a two year statue of limitations for lying on your application? So if they don't catch you within two years, you are home free?

Don't believe this is true, lets say 10-20 years down the road you were caught for murdering someone and they checked your application and you answered no for committing a crime you were never caught for. They still will deport you, after you served your life sentence or were executed for this crime.

No, this is correct... the USCIS has two years. After that the government must file suit in federal court to have the person "de-naturalized. Doesn't make a lot of difference in my opinion. When they start this procedure you're screwed...

Was there not a recent case of a naturalized US citizen who was involved with some of the atrocities that occurred during WWII. This man was past 90 years old and had been a USC for many years. I believe he was deported and citizenship revoked. Well past any two year "rule"

Citizenship can also be revoked if they commit crimes while being a citizen as well. Now these aren't typical minor crimes, but much bigger serious ones like espionage, certain types of murders and so forth for expample...

That's why a naturalized citizen is somewhat of a second class citizen. If I become a USC and join Al Queda in Afghanistan later, I'll lose my citizenship for sure. They can't do that to a natural born citizen. Not that it matters much, as non-USCs are not treated differently in the big house.

So as a naturalized citizen, and my wife was told she was a citizen just like she was born here, I was there, I heard it.

Strike 1: Cannot run for US president.

Strike 2. With your place of birth on US passport, have to maintain a foreign passport and "Dual Citizenship" regardless of whatever the DOS wants to call it.

Strike 3. And you are out of the country if caught doing something naughty.

Is there a strike 4?

Ironically if you mom snook into this country illegally and you were born here, get WIC, Medicaid, food stamps, and sympathy.

Who makes these laws? We the people? Or a bunch of crack smoking draft dodging idiots?

Where did you hear about these? The first one is correct, the second one isn't as you do not have to maintain a foreign passport at all. In fact many new US citizens from places like India, Peru, many old Soviet block countries, Japan etc have to forgo their old citizenships and no longer can legally have a passport from their native countries anymore. The only correct thing about the #2 is that you will just have your place of birth on your US passport and that is it. You are not required to have any other passport but the US one, and in fact the US would prefer if you didn't...
