I did apply for permanent residence when my mother was still alive and I have the receipt.

I guess this depends on the circumstances you have. If you were born on a military base outside of the US, you are already a US citizen. If your Mom was a US citizen, and you were born outside the country, but not on a military base, then you should still be able to become a resident even if you Mom has passed away. The fact that you have a receipt for the application should allow you to become a legal residence since you filed the applicationbefore her passing.Good luck.

I presume that you are living in the US, is that right? If so, you really need to consult a qualified immigration attorney to determine if you still can get your green card, and where your application is in the process. If it was far enough along, you can still get the green card despite your mother's death. But if it was refused for some reason, your situation might be very risky. Don't take a chance on making a mistake and losing the opportunity to become a legal resident - find a good lawyer.

I beleive so, but you are going to need proof of your parent's US citizenship. Best to check with your local US consulate or embassy.
