Time out.
1. SS numbers are not requested by the Embassy. It is a federal law that children born now must have a SS number issued within months of their birth.
Sorry if there was a confusion.
VT will put you in the NE region and ten will get me twenty your 1st 3 on your SS starts between 0-3(maybe 2). It is not the state, it is the region. DS1, starts with a 1, born in the UK, DS 2 born in NC starts with a 0. It isn't the state, it is the region.
2. How did your grandmother request your SS? By law it must be the parent/guardian that requests it. I don't think she requested it, I think because she was state side she assisted your mother in submitting the paperwork.
Birth certificate must be submitted as proof.
3. Our 1st 2 were born in the UK, to U.S. citizens, Bullet was AF military assigned there. They were issued the long and short UK birth certificate. We than sent that into the Embassy, and they were given another birth certificate. "Certification of Birth Abroad".
At that very moment, our children were U.S. citizens, prior to that they were UK.
Do you have a US "Certification of Birth Abroad"?
4. There are things called dual citizenship, you maybe one. They really have tried to tighten up those rules, and most countries now require at the age of 18 to declare 1 country.
5. You state you have 3 countries for citizenship. I am guessing because VT is so close to Canada that this is why you have 3.
Do your parents file a 1040? Have they voted in the Presidential elections? No flaming here, just asking since parents are from 2 different countries and living in a 3rd. In other words, are they Canadian, or American or are they both, when it comes to the finesse issue?
6. Can your mother prove residency? Does she have any tie to the U.S.?
Bank account in her name? Anything legal that shows a tie to VT?
Yes, you and her are U.S. citizens, but what you are stating is that at least for the last 17 yrs., she has lived in Italy and has no ties. Those tax records, registered voter's card may become your proof for the MOC.
If she holds a registered voter's card, you CAN prove through dependency that you are eligible to apply to that Cong., and the Sens.
No flaming, I understand that because NPG just now threw in Canada, it places another twist, because he may be seen as a Canadian resident, and not a US citizen.
Looked at Leahy's site he has a late due date...Dec. 1st. You need clarification and I think the Embassy will be able to give you the best assistance. They may say, that in their eyes, your mother is still a VT resident, and use your grandmother's address.
~~~Bullet and I as military had different homes of record when we lived in the UK as a married couple. He was his parent's address, mine was my mother's. Only when we returned stateside were we required to acknowledge one because it was the 1st time we lived together in the states.
