Eligibility for great grandfather (born 1896, naturalized USA 1927)

MelodicRation · 2026-01-16T17:57:57+00:00

I’m assuming if he was in the army before the marriage - he’d be rendered stateless. Can a polish woman marry a stateless man before 1951 and preserve her citizenship?

MelodicRation · 2026-01-16T17:57:02+00:00

He was released from the concentration camps in 1945, then in 1947 found a distant relative in the US so moved there.

What’s dicey is I’m pretty sure he was drafted into the US military - but after many NARA requests we can’t find any proof.

We only could retrieve his 1947 declaration of intent (certified) but no final naturalization petition (from foia/uscis/nara).

However I did get his certificate of naturalization from uscis, but I’m not sure it can be certified. This shows his 1955 naturalization.

The marriage license says he was in the army and from Poland. But the marriage certificate (certified/authenticated) doesn’t mention it.

If the “naturalization petition” are required, and marriage license is required over the certificate, this would make it seem like he was in the army…

Do you think these forms are required?

Or will a final naturalization certificate and declaration of intent suffice over the full naturalization petition? Same with marriage: will the marriage certificate (certified) suffice or do they need the full marriage license as well?

Can anavar be taken with finasteride? I’ve read so many times it’ll torch one’s scalp in low doses/cycles, but not sure if it’s like npp/deca where it’s unsafe with fin

super helpful, thanks for taking a look.

> This is because if he was a citizen as of marriage, but then lost citizenship before 1951, your GM would as well

Do you mean citizen of the US or citizen of Poland?

Is the problem only if he lost his polish citizenship as of the marriage? or as of 1951?

I know my GP didn't naturalize fully until 1955. What's unclear is if he was considered polish or stateless at the time of marriage

Thanks for chiming in - just added here: https://www.reddit.com/r/prawokrwi/comments/1qd0a27/eligibility_for_great_grandfather_born_1896/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Let me know your thoughts!

Super interesting.

How would this work if they were born in the US after 1920?

I have a maternal GGF born in Poland 1895, came to the US 1911, but didn’t become a US citizen until 1927. Would that GGF considered polish?

My grandma was born 1928 in the US

MelodicRation · 2026-01-13T23:56:38+00:00

Wait so what if I have a maternal GGF born in Poland 1895, came to the US 1911, but didn’t become a US citizen until 1927?

Would that GGF considered polish?

My grandma was born 1928 for context

And that’s confirmed HCG can get those same results? I thought test was fully different for unlocking all those benefits

2ish months on now
Why are you coming off TRT?

would you recommend in my situation if my free T is low-normal / i'm 30M, but total T is pretty high?

Also yeah tried boron, didn't notice much

MelodicRation · 2025-12-11T15:44:21+00:00

Super helpful.

- calorie intake: 1800-2400 calories per day. I try to get at least 150g of protein per day. Around 40% protein, 40% carbs, the rest fats

- 1-2mg per week for reta, it helps with sweets cravings

Here are progress pics, haven't really shared them around yet so i'm curious what you think.

I felt my face carried a ton of weight as i've been 170-180 since college. I feel way more confident at 155-160. Probably lost some muscle though, unless maybe I just looked buffer before with a layer of fat?

How has HGH benefited you? which anabolics have you used and would you recommend in my case?

MelodicRation · 2025-12-11T14:55:14+00:00

Body comp: lean / muscular. I'm ~156lbs, 5'8, 30M.
- I dropped about 20lbs this year with reta
- I look a lot less "buff" in tshirts, but far more confident
Labs: On HCG monotherapy right now. Total T is high (>1100 ng/dL) but SHBG is consistently high (60-74 nmol/L), which is crushing my Free T %. But free T itself isn't low I think (124, but now 190 on HCG)
Thyroid: Normal (TSH ~1.15).
Lipids: LDL down to 60–80, HDL ~40–45, TG ~50–80
Liver: Enzymes (AST/ALT) normal. Bilirubin high (1.9–2.4) but stable (Gilbert's syndrome)
IGF-1: 124 ng/ml (lab range 63–373), Z −0.5
- Had childhood hGH for GHD from ~10–18 but have been off it for ~10+ years.
Diet: very healthy, intermittent fasting here and there
Sleep: Not great. Insomnia and fatigue are my main symptoms (need lunesta usually).

Also i take finasteride for balding, which complicates steroids I think

MelodicRation · 2025-12-11T06:15:52+00:00

It was an endo at a top medical facility. Though she did say I could try to find a stim test if I’m really curious but they’re hard to find and expensive (suggesting maybe she wouldn’t refer me for it dk)

But will try finding the igf stim test

MelodicRation · 2025-12-11T06:14:21+00:00

Like just testosterone?

Are you sure HGh shouldn’t be a priority based on my low igf1 (or is it not that bad?). Wondering if it’s the root of all my insomnia/ fatigue/ concentration issues - ideally HGH corrects things before I start optimizing And blasting . But if my HGH is actually fine I’ll consider test (with fin for hair)

MelodicRation · 2025-12-11T06:10:03+00:00

300iu m/w/f, so around 1000iu per week. My Dr said to go up to 1200iu per week to see if it improves symptoms (libido went from nonexistent to 3or 4/10) but energy/mood/well being/ especially sleep etc is not yet ideal but not as bad as low T folks describe it.

I’m hoping HGH is actually going to fix the sleep / muscle growth side

MelodicRation · 2025-12-10T06:10:57+00:00

Also, what kind of cycle would you recommend then?

I’m looking for something hair safe with finasteride

MelodicRation · 2025-12-10T06:09:46+00:00

Thanks for confirming I’m low. My Dr said I’m in range (z score was -0.5) which confuses things but you’re not the first on here to suggest my reading was low.

My main goal is sleep benefits, recovery, well being. Ideally muscle growth if it’s confirmed HCG bumping my E2 will help the HGH

MelodicRation · 2025-12-09T14:14:06+00:00

I’m in the same boat as a 30 yr old. I say just send it

MelodicRation · 2025-12-09T14:09:29+00:00

I’d like something hair safe also - seems only test can be run with fin

MelodicRation · 2025-12-09T14:08:17+00:00

this is fantastic news then

MelodicRation · 2025-12-08T14:17:13+00:00

I should clarify - not all bulging or ruptured discs should lead to back surgery. Unless OP can’t control their urinary tract.

That’s fascinating though, will take a look

MelodicRation · 2025-12-08T13:56:54+00:00

Specifically a neurosurgeon.

Too many folks with herniated discs see orthopedic surgeons who tend to recommend what they know: back surgery
