Read These if Relinquishing Act Performed 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.

Our complaint makes mention of the fact that Eritrea has been condemned by the international community but the United States gets away with exactly the same tax policy. This is in direct violation of Article 2 of the Declaration of Human Rights which says that the same human rights are available to citizens of all nations regardless of the international power or status of the nation concerned. Our complaint found that CBT, FATCA and FBAR violate 16 of the 30 Articles.
MuzzledNOMore …..good luck in the proyect.
Does any one have links to experts specializing in relinquishing US citizenship ?
Daniel Alfaro,
There is a new post to look at: http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/2015/09/07/the-2350-relinquishment-fee-does-not-mean-that-people-should-simply-renounce-citizenship/
Also, http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/consulate2/ will get you to the Consulate Report Directory. Start there and at links on the right-hand side of the home page of Brock to learn about expatriations of US citizenship / relinquishment / renunciation.
Also research at http://citizenshipsolutions.ca/.
I received the best Christmas present ever today – my CLN! I relinquished on September 25, 2015 in Montreal and received the package today, December 29, 2015. The documents were signed by the State Department on November 15, 2015.
My case is a documentation of a relinquishment which took place in September 1974 when I became a Canadian. I had a letter from the then US Consul General stating that I would automatically loose my US citizenship as soon as I became a Canadian. I finally decided to apply for my CLN in case the bank or my investment advisor asked. While I had to go to Montreal, I got an appointment within two months. Turned out my appointment was in the nick of time – no fees involved.
A big thanks to everyone at IBS for all your support. I will file an update on the Consulate Report Directory once I calm down. I’ll also get multiple copies notarized and put the original away in my safety deposit box.
@ Proud Canadian
What a great way to enter the New Year. It seems like it was a relatively fast (5 month), sure-footed (US Consulate letter in hand) and feeless journey to your CLN. Congratulations!
