my citizenship was acquired through

[vbtwo 54]

Hello all.

I became a citizen automatically because my mother became naturalized and acquired citizenship before I turned 18.

I do not have my own naturalization certificate. I just filed for a passport before I turned 18 by sending my mother's certificate, so I do have a US passport.

How should I answer question 10?

Does "naturalization" require me writing a certificate number? Should I check "parents"?

I do see in the instructions that as proof of citizenship I can just send copies of all pages in the passport if I do not have a naturalization certificate, but it does not say what to check on the form.

You check parents, and that "no" you haven't acquired your own certificate. Your passport should then be sufficient.

Thanks, also another question, do I have to write my A# (from my old expired green card) for Q 8b? It does say my place of birth is Ukraine in my passport too.

I'd read this yahoo answer as a good answer: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100301151857AAA5y6B If you put n/a for the A# they won't be mad at you but it is helpful if you can provide it.
