Quite often, a case will have a "balancing of equities" for the exercise of discretion. OP has some quite strong positive equities from what I can see.
There is a plethora of excellent immigration attorneys in Seattle. The firm of Gibbs Houston Pauw is, to put it mildly, wonderful.

Have you had a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney yet, like everyone here is suggesting? A highly qualified ex-immigration attorney has posted on this thread that he feels you have a chance at becoming a USC, but it seems to involve the removal process and then somehow canceling that process. With this idea in mind, have a consultation with an immigration attorney who has experience in this particular part of immigration. Present this idea to him and see what he can do for you. It might not be cheap or quick, but I guess the question is, do you want to try to become a USC or not? If not, then no big deal...you can move back to the UK (keeping in mind that you might not be able to immigrate to the USA in the future). If it's important for you to become a USC, then you need an attorney. This isn't something you should try to do yourself.

Btw I was in the army for 6 years and fought for this country and am physically disabled forever and have serious health issues because of this.so yes im of the oppinion that ive earned the right to citizenship.the papers I found were mostly computer generated and I didnt pull the" im confused" excuse I admited my fault and didnt pergur myself by doing the interview there u go theres my rant.
S I guess I should have come her and claimed ignorance to everything .I was confused.and didnt understand and maybe I wouldnt be getting slammed for admiting to screwing up.being everyone on here is perfect and it was not ther fault.

Because he did not have a number. He was a Native American (Indian) and had an Indian Tribal Card.
You are entitled to rant. Go for it. Thank you for serving America by joining its military. I'm sure you would not have done so it there were no benefit in your doing so.

I can understand your lack of sympathy he has no one to blame but himself. But I am sorry I don't understand how your nephew in law would need relief from false claim of being a USC if he is Native American? He is an american citizen by birth isn't he? And Native Americans are also exempt from paying taxes aren't they?

And im confused if he is native how does he get deported and to where!
Most natives I know stay on the res get paid $3500 per family member to sit in there singlewide mobile and get drunk with a corvette and a hummer in the drive way.and the feds provide lots of new schools for them except they are all empty because they have no interest in learning because they will get paid for the rest of there lives to sit in there butt. And have immigrants do the dirty work while they whine about how 400 years ago they got screwed. Sorry pal you just hit a nerve here we have a huge problem with drunk indians with no ins coming of the res and doing whatever they want trashing property, rape drunken fights and so and nothing gets done because we cant piss of the poor natives!
One question what did he do to earn/deseve citizenship? What because he was born here.
So there ya go throw some snidy comment at somone else pal

I just get mad when somone make a comment suggesting I had some kind of ulterior motive for joining the army. Im sorry but I thought I was doing something that I beleived in supporting the constitution and the country.
Most people dont know that anywhere from 18-27% of our combined armed forces are immigrants!
And yes I think there should be citizenship for service.but your right no such law exist

I see that there is, at least, one dissenter. However, I agree with you on this. I think the US should follow the Starship Troopers lead and consider it: service guarantees citizenship. Someone who puts his life on the line for his adopted country should benefit from taking that risk. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who agrees with you on this.
