Our client, born and raised in the United States, sought to reconnect with his European roots through his grandparents, who originated from villages in what is now the Czech Republic. They emigrated to the US in the early 1920s, leaving behind their ties to the newly established Czechoslovakia.

Due to the historical shifts in nationality laws and treaties between the United States and Czechoslovakia, determining the family’s exact citizenship status was rather challenging. Our team carefully analyzed available records and legal frameworks to construct a strong case for our client’s claim to Czech citizenship.

The path was not straightforward. We worked diligently to confirm whether the client’s grandfather retained Czechoslovak citizenship at key moments in history. To support the case, we obtained birth and marriage records of the client’s grandparents from local Czech registries.

With these crucial documents, we applied for a Certificate of Czechoslovak Citizenship for the client’s grandfather. This confirmation was necessary to establish the lineage required for our client’s citizenship application. After a bit of lengthy wait, we received the certificate, proving that the client’s grandfather was indeed a Czechoslovak citizen.

This pivotal document allowed our client to proceed with his own application for Czech citizenship by descent. He is now one step closer to reclaiming his connection to his family’s ancestral homeland.
