It appears that UK citizens who have US fathers cannot easily gain their birthright citizenship when the father has died. Unless there is a document stating he supported you as a child (mine did but no docs) and /or he has left some official letter acknowledging you as offspring - it is impossible to get recognition after 57 years. I am acknowledged by my US family - see them often, am a member of the Sons of the American Legion Post 312 but nothing seems to count. I'm frustrated and angry because i know this is NOT what my father wanted - he served in US Navy and Air Force - if he hadn't died suddenly would have signed off documents, without him i am stuck in a vicious circle. I hope my fellow Americans can support this petition to reach 25000. I live in UK and work as a Nurse.
