Yes according to US laws if either of your parents have the citizenship..you would acquire one..but you must have stayed in any part of US or US affiliated territories for some period of time with him.... |

I'm not exactly sure what the cutoff age is for a minor but I do know 100% for sure if you're 17 and under, that you definately automatically become a citizen. |

No, you do not automatically become a US citizen. You still have to apply for citizenship and go through the same process your father did. If your father has any children in the future, they would automatically be citizens though. |

♥ Hi, I'm not toutching you

No, You are over 18 so you are an Adult now. If you were a child you would be a U.S citizen because of him but because of your age you are not if you want to be a U.S citizen you will have to do that on your own, sorry

Which came first, your father becoming a citizen or you turning 18? Also, do you live with him in the US?
Child Citizenship Act of 2000
Effective February 27, 2001, the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 provided that a non-U.S. citizen child (aged UNDER 18) with a U.S. citizen parent, and in the custody of that parent, automatically acquired U.S. citizenship. To be eligible, a child must meet the definition of "child" for naturalization purposes under immigration law, and must also meet the following requirements:
* The child has at least one United States citizen parent (by birth OR naturalization)
* The child IS UNDER 18 years of age
* The child IS CURRENTLY residing permanently in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the United States citizen parent
* The child has been admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident or has been adjusted to this status
* An adopted child must also meet the requirements applicable to the particular provision under which they qualified for admission as an adopted child under immigration law |
