"Doctor Stripped of Citizenship After Passport Renewal Mishap"

Siavash Sobhani, a doctor in Northern Virginia, has found himself stateless after attempting to renew his passport. The State Department informed him that he should not have been granted U.S. citizenship at birth due to his father's diplomatic status. Sobhani, who has lived in the United States for over 30 years, is now in limbo, unsure of his legal status and facing numerous uncertainties regarding his career, finances, and personal life. He has applied for permanent residence but fears a lengthy wait and hopes that government officials will intervene to help resolve his case.
