It was mentioned, father is dead. He was born during the rule period for babies from 1952 to 1986. You only got US citizenship to an American parent if the parent lived in the USA for 10 years BEFORE the child was born. Otherwise, it doesn’t count. Or of course child born in the USA. But this guy was born in Canada. He missed the window to apply for citizenship before he was 18.
So he doesn’t get it. That simple.
What he’s trying to do is prove his dad lived in the US for 10 years before he was born, but that’s difficult to do with a dead parent as those are not records that are usually kept. For example how many paystubs do you have of your grandparents from the 1940’s? None most likely.
They never passed previous tests of citizenship. They just claimed to be a citizen and the different US systems weren’t linked so he was never caught. Now they are linked. And he was caught.
