Dear Sirs, my husband is a U.S. born citizen(also army vet) We live in Canada.His parents are both US born citizens. We are applying for citizenship for our 14 year daughter born in Canada. We lack 8.5 months of proof of physical presence in the US.
Family emigrated to Canada in May 1950 from Wash. State. Although the father worked in Canada, the family lived in Point Robert during a 24 month period from 1950 to1952. It is crucial to prove presence during some of this period. Unfortunately, other than some family pictures there is no other proof. We have submitted affidavits from the parents, but the Consulate requires more. Do you have any suggestions? and is there any case law on this issue. Thank you

Think of unconventional prrof. Point Roberts had no industry to speak of in the fifties (still doesn't) and residents of Point Robets had to deal with business people in Canada.
Think of doctor's offices, dentists offices, libraries, churches, cub scouts, boy scouts, girl guides and other organizations that you r husband or his borthers and sisters or mother an dfather may have been members of. Get hold of old phone directories, business directories, Rotary Club rosters, Kights of Columbus, Masons. Union records, etc., etc.
Check on his military enlistment papers which would have had his old addresses on them when he enlisted or was drafted.
Depending on his age, he likely attended schoiol or kindergarten in Point Roberts or an older brother or sister did. There is no hospital in Point Roberts and there is a possibility that a brother or sister was born at home in Point Roberts.
See if his father's employer has old employment records showing the family's records.
A car dealership or an old store may have some histropical records or an older neighbout down the street (they could only be 70) might be able to give you an affidavit statinmg that the family lived in Point Roberts.
Just some ideas. I am putting htis out to the list and someone else may have an addition to make.
