I've entered the US in 1993 as a tourist and stayed. In 2006 my german passport expiered. I never applied for any visa,residency or citizenship or anythingelse. Now I want to go back to germany and will not be given an new passport until I proof that I am still a german citizen. ??? I had to fill out form G-639. I don't understand why and simply can't efford to wait up to six month for Homeland Security to find documents that don't exist. I am NOT an american citizen and have never given up my german citizenship. Please help..... What are my rights here and how can I get my passport, that according to the german consulate, will be handed out to me as soon as they have a written statement from the homland security, that states no records could be found, or basically..... I am NOT an american citizen. Why is the burden of proof on ME?... to proof something negativ? And obvioulsy.... they already have my passport ready...?
