Is there a main database to search for Immigration and Naturalization records from 1970's.?

Question

I'm supposed to start class at an online school today but can't because Department of Homeland Security cannot verify my citizen status.I was born in Germany but came to this country in 1973.My step father was in the Air Force. In 1978 we went through the Naturalization process in Hartford,Ct.My parents divorced and have since lost my naturalization certificate.In 1985 I enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for 12yrs as an M.P.including Operation Desert Storm/Shield/Sortie. How is it possible to go through 30yrs In some gov. capacity and then have your Citizenship questioned. No-one questioned it when I was Fighting for this country but now that I need my country It questions whether or not I belong here. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

That sux!! Think all states keep a record though .. you can try this link ... http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/085.html

otherwise there are these pay-for people who claim they can find all records under the sun:

but I agree with you .. would seem to me you have more than proven you're a citizen ... more red tape where none is necessary .... good luck anyway, SOMEONE has these records ...

Answer 2

call the veterans(V.A) and ask for a copy of your service records the might have your Naturalization number in the paper work they had to do a back ground check on you for the M.P. MOS. or go to your local Boder Patrol Station and have them run your name.

Answer 3
