father born u.s.a i would like to become citizen?

Answer 1

If your father is/was a natural born U.S. citizen, there's a very good chance (barring extreme circumstances) you are already a citizen as well. Check with your local U.S. embassy or consulate.

Answer 2

Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is conferred upon a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The general requirements for administrative naturalization include:

a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;
residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;
an ability to read, write, and speak English;
a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;
good moral character;
attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,
favorable disposition toward the United States.

Note: Effective August 2, 2004, USCIS has changed its requirements for photographs to a standard passport-style photograph. Please see this informational flyer for more details.

Note: Recent changes in immigration law and USCIS procedures now make it easier for U.S. military personnel to naturalize (see Naturalization Information for Military Personnel).

All naturalization applicants must demonstrate good moral character, attachment, and favorable disposition. The other naturalization requirements may be modified or waived for certain applicants, such as spouses of U.S. citizens. Applicants should review the following materials and carefully read the N-400 application instructions before applying.

It is quite difficult, but definitly contact USCIS, I also suggest hiring a lawyer, I know it is expensve, but there is so much paperwork and trivial questions that it is better to be safe than sorry. Also, they will make it hard for you, that is their job, don't give up until you are told by three immigration lawyers that it cannot be done.
