How can I become a US citizen if I was born in Mexico, over 40, and my mother and grandmother are US citizens?

Question

I want to pass this along to my children

Answer 1

There is no absolute definite answer to the question you have asked due to the fact that there is so much information left to guess at. What you need to do is call USCIS' National Customer Service Center so a representative can get the appropriate information from you to determine whether or not you may have derived the citizenship from a US Citizen parent or grandparent. Some of the questions we will ask are:

Were you born in the US or one of it's territories?
When you were born was your parent ALREADY a US Citizen?
Did your mother or grandmother naturalize?
If so, did either of them do it BEFORE you turned 18 years of age?
How old were you at the time of the Child Citizenship Act in February of 2001?
Are you a permanent resident? Did you become a resident before the age of 18?
.
...The answers to those questions are the only way to determine fully if you may be a US Citizen already--meaning you wont have to go through the application process. The only way TO determine this is for USCIS to do it for you, not anyone who is unexperienced. If you let someone unexperienced determine it for you, it is possible that you could end up spending outrageous amounts of money on forms you do not need.

If it is determined that you derived your citizenship you will be left with two options... You can apply to the US Department of State for a US Passport. A passport IS proof of citizenship & also serves as a travel document if you need to travel.

Your second option is applying to us using the form N-600, Application for a Certificate of Citizenship to show & prove you are a US Citizen. You may, however, find that applying for a passport is more convenient because it also serves as the "now required" travel document & it is often times a much faster process than the N-600.

If it is declared that you did not derive citizenship, you will have to go through the naturalization process by filing the form N-400. This form & the process is long, it can generally take up to one year, & it has a total filing fee of $400. So please, let a Customer Service Rep. determine which process you will need to do by calling the USCIS Customer Service line at 1 800 375 5283. If you have questions before you call, feel free to email me. Good luck with everything! After you become a US Citizen, as long as your child is still under age 18, you will be able to acquire the citizenship for him or her as well.
