The Northern Virginia doctor knows at least that much about his situation. He knows he is no longer considered a citizen of the United States — the place where he was born, went to school and has practiced medicine for more than 30 years — and that he also belongs to no other place.

A letter from a State Department official informed him that he should not have been granted citizenship at the time of his birth because his father was a diplomat with the Embassy of Iran. The letter directed Sobhani to a website where he could apply for lawful permanent residence.

    I think the us is the only country tying taxes to citizenship instead of where you live or work

    Or at least it’s the only one that’s relevant for European authorities since that’s the only country everyone gets asked about while paying taxes
