F-4 visa application with unsolved renunciation of nationality
Date : 2024-10-18
-
- Background
- Applicant H is American born to a Korean father, which allowed him to hold dual citizenship with Korea and the US. However, Applicant H did not report his birth to the Korean government, resulting in issues regarding his Korean citizenship. In 2023, he resolved his Korean citizenship status at the Korean immigration consulate and obtained a Korean passport for an upcoming trip to Korea. However, upon arrival, immigration officers did not recognize his passport, leading to entry denial.
-
- Challenge
- Although Applicant H intended to enter Korea as a Korean citizen, the immigration officer required him to obtain a visitors’ visa with his US citizenship. Applicant H wanted to register to the Korean government as a Korean national; however, to do so, there are certain requirements that applicant H could not fulfill.
-
- Result
- With the help of Incorp Advisory Partners, applicant H was able to register to the Korean government without any issues.
-
- Solution
- We reviewed the fine print of the immigration laws and prove to the Korean immigration officer that applicant H does not need to meet the qualifications for Korean national registration. Additionally, we provided evidence that applicant H has had several meeting with the immigration office in his hometown, confirming his eligibility to enter Korea using Korean citizenship.
