Hello,
I'm wondering if i can file for derivative US citizenship if both of my parents became US citizens prior to my 18th birthday, and I became a permanent resident when I was 17.
I guess my parents screwed me over and never filed for my US citizenship.
I became 18 after the February 27, 2001 but just by under 30 days.
I have been a lawful permanent resident but owe backed taxes and am now in the process of renewing my card.
I'm wondering, wouldn't it be better to tell USCIS if I already qualified for US citizenship when i was 17? can it be awarded retroactively if I'm already 28?
please let me know.
