There is more than one way to claim derivative citizenship. What you have posted in one way - claiming derivative citizenship by birth. Another way to claim derivative citizenship is through the Child Citizenship Act where a minor admitted to the US as an LPR and the child is residing with a US citizen parent.

I was commenting specifically about the link you posted. The process described there is specifically for adults claiming derivative citizenship at the time they were born. The OP can't use that process. He did not derive US citizenship at birth.

What would you suggest the OP do? If he can't claim US citizenship at the US Embassy/Consulate, then is he in limbo? He's a US citizen. He's entitled to receive help from the US Embassy/Consulate. If he can't file the N-600 because he is not in the US, then his only choice is to seek help from the US Embassy/Consulate.
