Important if Relinquishing Act Prior to June 4, 2004
Very important for pre-2004 relinqishers to read, the posts/threads at this link also contain some useful information for those who relinquished after June 4, 2004, or are planning to do so.
Relinquishment and Renunciation Data
The actual “relinquishment and renunciation data” was integrated into the Appendix of the Consulate Report Directory in 2013 (tracking chart of people’s wait times from booking to consulate appointment to receipt of CLN) and is continually updated there. The thread itself , however, has remained open and popular.

Self-Documented Relinquishment
The relinquishing act itself causes the citizenship loss. A CLN provides proof of it, but it’s not the only way to prove it.
Duchesse. You actually got a reply from a real person! Do you have any thoughts on how we should proceed? (No response of any kind since Sept.

Real person? Yes, it happens. My husband had a few exchanges with one at the Calgary consulate. It was better when he could address his e-mails to her … instead of “Dear ACS”. All I can suggest is do another “Dear ACS” e-mail indicating when you sent back the forms and ask them if it’s possible to assign you an appointment date now. You’ll want to grit your teeth while typing but it’s better to force a grin so the wording comes out in a gently persuasive tone. My husband actually met the consulate supervisor he exchanged e-mails with when he went for his renunciation appointment. She was quite nice. She even e-mailed immediately afterwards and then followed up by snail-mail an interim travel letter to use if he needed to go to the USA before the CLN arrived. (His was a relinquishment with no charge so therefore no receipt.)
