Ridgewood, N.J. - One of the major reasons that Citizenship is denied to applicants is because they have made a "false claim to U.S. Citizenship".
Nachman Phulwani Zimovcak Law Group, P.C., an international Immigration Law Firm (with Offices in NY, NJ and affiliated offices in Canada and Mumbai) recently heard that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) have stated that they will amend the Field Manual and the Foreign Affairs Manual to reflect the following position:
(1) Only a knowingly false claim can support a charge that an individual is inadmissible under section 212(a)(6)(C)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The individual claiming not to know that the claim to citizenship was false has the burden of establishing this affirmative defense by the appropriate standard of proof (for applicants for admission or adjustment, "clearly and beyond doubt").
