She claims that she has been a "Naturalized Citizen" of the United States... That she has a valid US social security number, she can work, and she can vote...

Her ID shows that she's 31, her real age is 37. She told my buddy that a lot of Liberians have there ID's birthday as Jan. 1st, and the correct year of birth...

No.
It takes several years of residency to gain US citizenship.

No, I don't think so. The United States is not a Banana Republic that you can get citizenship abroad like you buy souvenirs in the black market. Just the State Department and the U.S. government can do that. Not the United Nation, not the UNESCO, the NATO, nobody, except the United States. And for that you have to be a resident alien for four years in a row in the country and in the fifth year you can apply for citizenship. Those are the rules and you have to comply.

The UN -- or any other international organization -- has absolutely no authority with regard to any single country's domestic policies, including immigration policy. It is inconcievable that a UN official circumvented US policy by getting the United Nations to issue her a visa.
On the other hand, it is possible that a UN official "helped her" to become a citizen: Either by getting her in touch with US immigration authorities; offering her a personal contact, or even just spell-checking her forms, since all those constitute some kind of help... maybe this woman just dropped the "UN official" line just to sound important, even though the level of contact was minimal.

The UN is a strange and wonderful place, they can get money from feeding the children in Iraq. Why not hand out US citizenship's to people around the world, for a few dollars more?

ASK her to show you her US passport
that can happen only when political reason was invold that mean she must have claim that she was persecuted by her country president or minister
