Here’s the BIA headnote:
“(1) Unlike a Certificate of Naturalization, a certificate of citizenship does not confer United States citizenship but merely provides evidence that the applicant previously obtained citizenship status.
(2) The institution of judicial proceedings to revoke naturalization are not required to cancel a certificate of citizenship, which the Department of Homeland Security can cancel administratively upon a determination that an applicant is not entitled to the claimed citizenship status.”
PANEL: Appellate Immigration Judges Grant, Mann, O’Connor
OPINION BY: Judge O’Connor
