This is my situation:
Son got Immigrant visa in india on 14nov2014
Landed in USA on 28 Nov 2014
Greencard issued 28 Nov 2014 valid till 28 Nov 2014
Naturalization certificate issued on 29 Jul 2016 but says he has become US citizen from 28 Nov 2014
USA passport issued on 18 Aug 2016
Now when i went to Cox and Kings to apply for Indian visitor visa, i have to apply for renunciation of his Indian passport. they are saying that he has travellled on Indian passport illegally since 28 Nov 14 as that is the day he has naturalized and become a US citizen. Now he has to pay penalty for each immigration stamp on his passport which is about $ 250 each stamp
My question is, i did not even know that he was considered a US citizen on landing. and if he did become a US citizen on landing on 28 nov 2014 why did they issue him with a green card valid for 10 years which was taken back the day he was issued his naturalization certificate ?
Besides what document would i have had on Nov 28 2014 to prove he is us citizen or apply for his US passport.
and if he was already us citizen the movement he landed why would i go through the trouble of filing N600 for naturalization and also spend $ 600 for the same.
How do i convince them all this. Are they right in what they say ?
Any body had similiar experience like this ?
