    Default Derivative U.S. Citizenship Retroactive

    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.

    Have an attorney review your documents and timeline. I am confused as to how your parents became citizens so soon after you became a permanent resident. There is more to your story.
