My mother is Iranian and my father is English, I was born and live in England. Because it is my mother who is Iranian and not my father, I am not eligible for Iranian citizenship by virtue of birth (as I understand it, if my father had been Iranian, I would be a citizen regardless of where I was born). Furthermore, though I would love to visit (or even one day live in) the country, obtaining any kind of visa is difficult. As President, would you have any plans to extend citizenship to Iranian non-citizens like me, or to at least make it easier for us to obtain visas?
