| | Alexander v. INS |
 | | Petitioner Roger Alexander, named Roger Alexander Hobbs at birth, was born in Great Britain on February 13, 1945, son of Sarah Hobbs and, he alleges, Floyd Alexander, an American serviceman. |
 | | Roger was unaware of his true father until 1968, when he discovered that the man whom he believed to be his father had died in 1943. |
 | | That order was appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals; on June 9, 1992 the Board dismissed the Alexanders' appeal, holding that Roger had not met the statutory requirements for derivative citizenship under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1401 and 1409. |
