Derivative Us citizenship claim for adults

[aaron2020 11,651]

Yes my papa is a us citizen when i was born. And he lived in us for a long period of time. I was born out of wedlock but they get married when i was 3 years old.

Yes my papa is a us citizen when i was born. It was year 1990 when he get naturalized and year 1993 when i was born. I really need to know what to do.

For him to have transmitted citizenship to you, he needs to have been physically present (in any status) in the US (any time in his life before you were born) for a total of 5 years, including 2 years after he turned 14. If he naturalized, he must have been in the US for at least a few years, so that's a good sign. You will need to find enough proof of his physical presence to add up to the 5 years.

Also, since you were born out of wedlock, for him to have transmitted citizenship to you, the following must also be true:

• The blood relationship between you and your father is established
• Before you were 18, he agreed in writing to support you until you were 18. However, this doesn't apply if he is deceased, and it seems like he died before you were 18, so you don't have to worry about this requirement.
• Before you were 18, one of the following must have happened:
  • You were legitimated under the law of your residence or domicile. I think this is met since your parents married.
  • Your father acknowledged your paternity in writing under oath, or
  • Your paternity was established by a court

You are a US citizen.

Contact the US Embassy.

Bring the following proof:

1. Your birth certificate with your father's name on it.

2. Proof that your father is a US citizen; passport or naturalization certificate.

3. Proof that your father lived in the US for at least 5 years; school records, tax returns, employment records, etc.

4. Your parents' marriage certificate showing you were legitimized.
