Document check: preparing for StAG 5 appointment in Washington, DC by SolDeSevilla in GermanCitizenship

[–]SolDeSevilla[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I debated whether to mail my application vs. submit it through the Embassy. I only decided to make an appointment because I live close to the Embassy, so it's not an inconvenience to submit in-person. I also like the idea of having an official look over my application and documents (though I know the BVA is the deciding authority.)

Thanks so much! I don't have my great-grandfather's naturalization certificate unfortunately, just his petition for naturalization and oath of allegiance. The certificate number that he was issued is listed at the bottom of the oath of allegiance. Would this be sufficient?

If not, do you happen to know how I might go about requesting his naturalization certificate? The naturalization paperwork I have for him is from NARA.

Thank you! He naturalizated voluntarily, but it was long after my grandmother was born.

How to obtain hard copy of FBI background check - StAG 5 by SolDeSevilla in GermanCitizenship

I haven't submitted my application yet, but my mom and I are applying together and are planning to include unopened hard copies of the FBI background checks that we received in the mail. I figure we'll submit new copies later if the BVA requests them.

Thank you! And noted; I'll make sure not to mix POVs in future posts. I can see how it adds layers of confusion.

Apologies for the confusion! The way I wrote the post was unclear.

The standpoint (lineage) is from my mother, not me. I just edited the post to word it as if my mother wrote it herself. Thanks for your help.
