Am I an American Citizen?

Question

My parents both became citizens of the U.S. a couple years back. That means that I am also an American Citizen. I was wondering if anybody here knows how or were I can apply for a Certificate of Citizenship.

Answer 1

if you were born in the usa, you are.

but if not, i need to know how old you are first.

when they became citizens, how old were you?

Answer 2

Were you in the USA and were you included in their application for naturalization, or in the alternative were you born in the USA or after your parent(s) was(were) naturalized?

In any of those cases you are a citizen; otherwise you will probably have to submit a petition for naturalization. Be sure to do that; but find out your status from an independent professional (lawyer or charity or immigrant advisory service) before you contact government officials as there are many traps for the unwary. You don't want to come to their attention inadvertently if your status is questionable and, for example, you have a police history, IRS problem, etc.

Answer 3

Yr not an American citizen, just because your parents became citizens...unless you were born in America.

Answer 4

if you were born in another country and your parents were not american citizens at the time, you are not an american citizen.

Answer 5

NO YOUR NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN........UH? I THINK THAT THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IS IF YOU WERE BORN HERE IN THE USA!..........
