Yes, possibly can. I was born in the USA and immigrated to Canada at the age of 10. I subsequently had 2 children in Canada. My eldest is now 29 (born in 1977) and he has dual citizenship. My youngest is 23 (born in 1983) and she does not. It depends on what the citizenship laws were in the USA at the time you were born. You can check it out on the internet at the US Embassy website. They have a form for you to fill out and your mother will have to fill one out, too. Download the forms on their website. You can call someone at the Embassy, as well. They were very helpful to us when we were looking into this for my children.

Possibly, if your mother has US citizenship (if she wasnt born here while her parents were embassadors to the US).
As others have said, you will have to apply.
Also, there is a residential requirement on the part of your mother, she has to have resided in the US a certain number of years, besides being born here.
The immigration website can give you all the information you need, or consult an immigration attorney or US embassy.

It depends what Country you are from. You can claim your citizenship through your mother, but you need to do it the way you are suppose to. Go to the immigration website and look for the N-400 application (naturalization)

I think it depends on how old you are...up until you're 18 you can have dual citizenship, but then you have to decide.

Well you can either be American or Scottish wow you had some bad luck .Now if your dad was Australian you would be better becoming an Aussie but don't be an Englishman like me or you would never take another penalty in your life.

Yes, I think so. Try the US Embassy in your county. Also, go to the US Immigration web site for additional help.

Yes, what the heck isthis about deciding after 18? You can keep more than one if you want if you are legally entitled.
