You don't need a $10,000 consultant.
Citizenship consultants charge anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 to manage your citizenship by descent application. However, the documents are public records: birth certificates, marriage records, naturalization files. Anyone can request them. The process is long, but it's not a mystery.
The Next Passport gives you the same roadmap a consultant would hand you, personalized to your exact lineage. So you can do it yourself, at your own pace, without the bill.
