You can't claim citizenship by a ancestor. My family came from Londonderry Ireland in the 1600's to the Virginia colonies, but I can't get Irish citizenship from Ireland because they were Irish. You have to be born in a country to claim citizenship or have a parent from a country to claim duel citizenship.

If there was a visa denial you cannot argue about the denial itself- you must attack the false claim. A false claim of U.S. citizenship is a permanent bar to immigrating to the U.S.- there are NO waivers. The only thing a person can argue is that they never made a false claim to citizenship, or that it was timely retracted, and finely, that the person had a valid belief he/she was a citizen (but there are certain requirements for this defense).
