Legitmate question,
She was born her in 67' and immigrated to the US in 75'. So she would have obtained US citizenship after 75. Don't we have a law that disallows dual citizenship? Therefore wouldn't she be automatically ineligible for a passport even with the instantaneous 73' provisions since she became a US citizen

It said she have been living in the US as a permanent resident, however, it also said that her father is a citizen, which should have given her rights to US citizenship in any event. If this is in fact correct she should just go ahead and obtain her a citizenship and passport.

My advice Comrade Fenett, is from sounds it you spent years in no rush to travel, so whats the the urgency in waiting for your new passport to arrive? Secondly, you can always undergo a sex change procedure to match your passport's gender.

LOL, almost fell out my chair..

Comrade Bahamianpride, you'd think someone at the passport office or Consulate would have instructed her stop submitting her child photos with her applications cuz she looks nothing today like those 1967 photos. And, if she keeps sending photos of a different gender one can see good reasoning for her be under special investigation. This good lady is confused if she thinks she was issued a British Passport, by any colonial Bahamaland government, no such passport ever existed. When the British left, there were no special privileges for her former colonial subjects to come live in England. The British did to us Bahamalanders, exactly what they did to the former colony of Hong Kong, stay out England.

Ms. Tellegrand, I think the issue is that you sat on your passport application for decades, and when you suddenly decided to travel, you wanted it now despite the myriad of issues surrounding your documents. With that said, one has to wonder about your sudden interest in obtaining a Bahamian passport when you also meet the requirements for a U.S. passport as a legal permanent resident of more than five years. You can also potentially renew your UK passport since you never received a Bahamian one. Immigration would be remiss if they did not wonder the same. There seems to be no reason for you to be trapped.

If your last passport was UK and you lost it, I would think that you would file a police report in the U.S., take the report to the British consulate and go through the process of getting your UK passport renewed. With that crucial document in your possession, you should then apply for your 1st Bahamian passport. I'm sure this route would have been less painless for all.

Comrade she needs read what her "British" passport reads, she was never and is is still not entitled to live in Britain.

My2cents I totally agree with this statement "one has to wonder about your sudden interest in obtaining a Bahamian passport when you also meet the requirements for a U.S. passport as a legal permanent resident of more than five years". Furthermore many Bahamians would love to trade places with her but these days it is very difficult to get U.S permanent residency. The Bahamas is not the same place she sees on TV or probably remembers as a child. Citizens here live in fear of crime, and it is this fear that prevents any form of long term happiness. It appears to me like she running from something....

Her case is just too confusing. . .investigation is in order!! For example, she left the Bahamas in 1975. . .three years after Independence. . .on a British Passport. . .without a Bahamian Passport. . .which she " lost"!! However, she lived in the USA as a permanent resident. . .did not renew her British Passport for 40 years? Also, she could not get a permanent residence while inside the borders of the USA. . .so she was in the Bahamas when she applied for that status!! Yet she choose to file as a British Subject and not as a Bahamian. Further more, the Americans would have advised the good lady that the new rule was that former British Subjects were then considered Bahamians and not British after July 10, 1973!

This case just has too many loose ends for comfort.

Boy, they love to share these we-are-deliberately-frustrating-the-Haitians stories with the newspaper. What is the hope? That somebody would actually take heed and you would get your papers faster? Who feeds the newspapers these bullsh** stories without checking the background or facts first anyway? I guess they don't think educated persons or persons with common sense are reading it. Boy I tell ya!
