Wish me luck. If we do get early dismissal, o7 in the chat for the boys who took annual leave before early dismissal is announced, and congrats to all of you who stuck it out long enough to see the early dismissal if such dismissal is granted.
Hi, my great-grandfather was born in the UK in 1911 and immigrated to the US as a very young child (according to my family, he was supposed to come over on the Titanic, but his uncle got sick and they had to postpone the trip, to the fortunes of my ancestral lineage). He fathered my Grandmother, who was born in the late 1930s. My mother was born in the early 1960s. I was born in the early 1990s.
If I were to make a 4L claim of citizenship, could I state that it was legislative unfairness to require allegiance to one country and thus give up citizenship through US naturalization and thus also allow my grandmother citizenship by descent, and also argue that if my grandmother was born a man, that she could have made a consular registration of my mother, which would have allowed me to obtain citizenship by descent of a Citizen Otherwise than by Descent (OTBD)?
Is this a logical argument? I literally just found out I can claim Canadian citizenship through ancestral history based on the law passed last year, so I'm kind of looking at what possibilities exist for citizenship from my other ancestors, more out of curiosity. I see that 4L is discretionary, so it's more of a thought experiment for me if this were to even be possible.
