Immigration Law: We handle immigration issues but have special experience in regaining U.S. Citizenship for individuals who were born in the U.S and subsequently renounced their U.S. Citizenship so they would be in a position to inherit property in Mexico. Prior to 1993 Mexico did not recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, if someone was a U.S. Citizen but had parents or other family members with property in Mexico, the U.S. citizen had to renounce his or her citizenship in order to be in a position to inherit the real property in Mexico. This was done by hundreds of individuals often under heavy pressure from family and often right when the person turned 18. There is a process by which these renunciations can be reviewed and if certain criteria are met; the U.S. Department of State can restore the person to the status of a citizen. Mathcett Law has achieved successful outcomes for many clients.
