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.
That is different. DACA’a are born outside the US and have been brought in illegally (without proper documentation). If you entered legally you are not eligible for DACA - and have to leave when you are a non-immigrant turning 21 years of age.
I know it’s technically different, but in both cases you have a person who has lived in the US for most of their life, and is for all intents and purposes an American, but who is not, due to a technicality, a citizen. It is extremely similar.
