I am German-born to a German-born mother and American-born (military)Father. I had a Green card and German passport when we moved to America when I was 5. I did not get my American Citizenship until around 2005- at which time I was told I could not have dual citizenship & had to give up my German Passport and citzenship. I did not get the letter (I Didn't even know there was one!)
I am now 59, lost my husband in 2020, and visit Germany every few years. I Have relatives there. In the next 2-3 years, I plan to retire, rent out my house and move to Germany- My top choice currently is Stuttgart. I have done a TON of research! I do speak some German. Not as fluently as I'd like, but I hope to be fluent by my move.
SO- question: I have looked and can't get a straight answer. Would I be eligible for Discretionary Re-Naturalization? I have family there. I speak the language, I and my mother are German-born. I am also happy to give up my American Citizenship as I would be staying in Germany. Aside from visiting my stateside relatives (who are fewer than my German relatives)- I won't be going back very often. If ANYONE has the answer, I would SOOOO appreciate it!
