Hello:

Derivative Citizenship

In some cases, people are U.S. Citizens and do not know it. In this case, it is possible for us to file what is known as a Derivative Citizenship Petition. It is a petition that if approved, will give proof of U.S. Citizenship. There is a significant amount of evidence that would be required for this type of petition, but if done properly, there is a reasonable chance of success.�
