USSR Citizens

[John]

Dear Mr. Samson,

I have a friend that left the former USSR - Russia in 1990. They are looking to deport her back to her country, but immigration officers have been unsuccessful in re-issuing her new citizensships, since she has terminated her old USSR citizenships upon arrival. What are the rules to this law? Will Russia re-issue citizenships to people that lived in the former USSR? She was born in Russia, and lived there for 7 years. Thank you for your help and time.

Sorry, but i cannot answer this question. I can advise on American immigration law, but your question concerns the policy of the Russian Government. I would suggest that you contact the Russian Consulate to ask this question. Good Luck, ALLAN SAMSON
