DECLARATION
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
OATH/AFFIRMATION OF RENUNCIATION OF NATIONALITY OF UNITED STATES
I, SAAD NOAH, a national of the United States, solemnly swear/affirm that I was born at BAGHDAD, IRAQ ON DECEMBER 2, 1957, that I formerly resided in the United States at 1817 NORTH BROADWAY. CREST HILL, ILLINOIS, USA.
That I am a national of the United States by virtue of Naturalization.
Date of Naturalization is DECEMBER 8, 1988, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, 219 SOUTH DEARBORN. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60604, USA.
I desire and hereby make a formal renunciation of my U.S. nationality, pursuant to the well settled that anyone may renounce his United States citizenship. "In 1794 and 1797, many members of Congress still adhered to the English doctrine of perpetual allegiance and doubted whether a citizen could even voluntarily renounce his citizenship. By 1818, however, almost no one doubted the existence of the right of voluntary expatriation." Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253, 258 (1967). In 1868, Congress declared that "the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Act of July 27, 1868, ch. 249, 15 Stat. 223, 223 (1868); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1481 note (2000) (quoting R.S. § 1999) (same). That declaration further stated that "any declaration, instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officers of this government which denies, restricts, impairs, or questions the right of expatriation, is hereby declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this government." 15 Stat. at 224. Similarly, the Burlingame Treaty of 1868 between the United States and China recognized "the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of . . . free migration and emigration . . . for purposes of curiosity, of trade, or as permanent residents." United States-China, July 28, 1868, art. 5, 16 Stat. 739, 740. Congress provided specific legislative authority for nullifying citizenship when, in 1907, it enacted the predecessor of the modern federal expatriation statute. See Act of Mar. 2, 1907, ch. 2534, 34 Stat. 1228 (1907). As the Supreme Court has noted, such acts of Congress "are to be read in the light of [Congress's 1868] declaration of policy favoring freedom of expatriation which stands unrepealed." Savorgnan v. United States, 338 U.S. 491, 498-99 (1950), and as provided by section 349(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended, and pursuant thereto, I hereby absolutely and entirely renounce my United States nationality together with all duties and allegiance thereunto pertaining. I make this renunciation intentionally, for the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and happiness. See http://www.justice.gov/olc/expatriation.htm
