Citizenship through Parent (Marriage) Questions

[kswsky94 11]

Hello VJ Forum!

I didn't expect to post another question here but I couldn't find a relevant posts so please direct me if there are any related posts to my question

 

My biological father and myself were approved Green Card through marriage (IR 6 & 7).

I was 17 years old when my parents married in Aug, 2011 and became Permanent Resident in Jan, 2012. My birthday is in March so I was technically still under 17 years old when became LPR.

My stepmother has been USC since 2008 through Naturalization. Am I already a citizen?

 

I'm preparing my N-400 and as I was researching, I became very curious to check since there are so many different laws. I'm 22 now so I know that this may not apply to me.

Thank you in advance and good luck to everyone preparing to become a U.S. Citizen!

hi

 

no, you can't derive citizenship through a stepparent, only through USC biological or adoptive parents

 

so you aren't a USC and you must fill out the N400 and pass the test
