ROGERS V. BELLEI
401 U.S. 815 (1971)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the Immigration Act of 1952.
FACTS: The Act stated that if a person born abroad of parents, one of whom is an alien,
and the other a citizen of the U.S., who has met specified conditions of residence in this
country shall lose that citizenship unless after age 14 and before age 28, that person comes
to the U.S. and is physically present here continuously for at least five years. Bellei (P)
was born in Italy in 1939. He is now 31. P's mother was a U.S. citizen. His father was
Italian. P has come to the U.S. five different times with each visit being less than five
months each time. P was warned of Section 301(b) in writing when he was in this country in
1963 and again in November when he was in Italy. Sometime after February 11, 1964 he was
advised by the American Embassy that he had lost his citizenship.
