We don't need to stay in the state - and we have a lot of family there.
My children are going to get the US citizenship - but for this - we need a lot of documentations such as proof that my husband live in the states for many years. We don't have records for the time he was a baby.

You need to speak to some people who are up, on immigration laws & citizenship procedures. I don't think this forum is going to get you much help in that department.

Bob is correct. Speak with the immigration people. I assume you need a social security number, but you may need additional papers that citizens born here don't need. Good luck to you.

I didn't look for official eddvises. Just in case you know as the people who live there....

It has nothing to do with immigration - since we are not thinking of immigration - but getting the US citizenship according to the Law.
We have the SSN.
The system here is differant and I wanted to learn more about your system.


any way - thanks and I'll let you know what is going on.

IF so, this is a place I used at one time....

I used the first site? It cost me $$'s but was worth it..
What's needed is county/city/state/date of birth? And I'd picked the brains of elder siblings to remember the address of the house we'd lived at at the time. [we'd moved a few months after I was born, so I didn't know of it, now I do.]

The whole thing was about $40 [usd] to order a copy and get it special delivered to ME to be signed for and certified. It took less than the 10 days posted, in the US, so I don't know how it'd go to where you live or not. Maybe to a sibling IN the US?

I understand on many levels, especially with some portions of the US population wanting us all to have 'papers'? Well, I got sick last year, my driver's license expired while I was in the Hospital, and I couldn't find my Birth Certificate for the life of me! I really, truly felt almost disenfranchised! Or a non-person!
Ask me more if you need more? These sites are pretty simple to use. Charge card and address, PLUS key info? And you got it! Good luck. I can and do understand all frustrations about this all! - j
PS? Let us know how it all works out? Please?

No, I would bet you have his birth certificate. Right? You have to prove he lived in the US? For how long? The birth certificate is some proof. Then you would have to have house addresses where he lived and then tie these in with records from the US Census Bureau?

You can find census records at the county level in the state(s) where he lived. I could try to help you but I know very little about it. I do have a little information I got to find out some genealogy information but I haven't done that yet. This info is available if his family filled out the information for the census's during the time your husband lived in the US. It's done every 10 years on the 10th year and we just did one earlier this year.

Or when I reread your original post, it almost sounds like your husband may not remember exactly when and how long he lived in the US and would like to find out about himself and his parents. Again, the US Census Bureau would have some records and Social Security Administration would have work records of his parents jobs. You would need their social security numbers.
