thanks jayinsat.....this is why I came here, hoping to find someone who had been through the same thing and found an acceptable resolution instead of the condescension I have received from ......whoever he is that has no clue

thanks

I would love to get a passport instead - they dont give you a choice - passport is not on the checklist. I have no problem at all with proof of citizenship. I have Certificate from the State Department - also not on the checklist.

proactive? Pay My Country $600 for papers? Yeah I'll pay it. Good luck to you when you need them. It's coming for all of us.

I was 5 months old when we came into the country. They told my parents (the Air Force) that no papers were needed for me. I guess maybe I should go into Mexico and cross back by the light of the moon. Then I get a pardon, citizenship, medical care, drivers license, etc etc. Silly me for paying taxes for 60 years. My bad.

No, I do not have a passport, as I have never left the country.

I was born in England to US Citizen parents. Father was in US Air Force, stationed in England. Mother traveled there to be with him when I was born. I was there for 5 months and then entered the US as a US citizen. Since I was born out of country, I am required to obtain Certification of Citizenship from Immigration Service! The application costs $600. I have been a citizen of this country for almost 60 years, paid my taxes, worked hard, played by the rules - and now I have to get citizenship papers! The cost for a CHL will total almost $1000.

I an understand having to get some sort of papers since I was born out of country - but to charge me $600??? This is so wrong.
