Generally, a determination of an individual's status as a citizen of the United States shall not be made unless the question of his citizenship status is an issue in a proceeding or function authorized by statute, regulation, or operations instruction. Where for example, the citizenship claimant is the subject of pending exclusion or deportation proceedings, or seeks to initiate vis petition proceedings as a citizen, the determination shall be made in such proceedings. Similarly, if the circumstances are such that an application pursuant to section 341 or 343 of the Act, or an application for a citizen identification card under 8 CFR 235.10 would afford an appropriate means of resolving the citizenship question, the determination is required to be made in proceedings initiated by such applications.

Where an individual whose citizenship status is not an issue in any proceeding before the Service claims that he was in fact a citizen of the United States at the time he was last admitted as an immigrant or nonimmigrant or, if he was admitted as a citizen but was thereafter held to be an alien by the Department of State and the individual claims that he was properly admitted as a citizen of the United States, the claimant's request that the Service find that he was a United States citizen at the time of ad mission may be determined independently of formal Service proceedings. In these situations, it is mandatory, and the responsibility of the adjudicating Service officer, to interview the claimant and thereafter make an independent determination of citizenship status, separate and apart from any previous adjudication which may have been entered by another government agency or department. The adjudication shall be supported by a brief but adequate memorandum for the file, setting forth the pertinent facts and law, and the evidence considered in arriving at the determination of status.

For policy and procedure to be followed in returning a surrendered certificate of naturalization or citizenship based upon the expatriation reversal in Schneider v. Rusk or Afroyim v. Rusk, or as a result of the effect of the amendment of section 301(b) on October 27,1972, P.L. 92584, and in officially acknowledging an expatriation reversal premised upon such decisions or section 301(b), as amended, see 8 CFR 343a.2 and OI343a.7
