My dad is an Naturalized American Citizen. Do I automatically become a citizen too?

Mark J. Curley
Answered by attorney Mark J. Curley (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Curley Immigration Law, PC LLO
Congratulations!  You will become a U.S. citizen automatically when you enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident while under the age of 18 years.  Since your father was not a U.S. citizen when you were born, you did not automatically become a U.S. citizen at birth.  If you had been present in the U.S. as a permanent resident when your father naturalized, you would have become a U.S. citizen on that day.  So, you will need to enter the U.S. with your green card before you can become a U.S. citizen.  After you enter, you can either apply for a U.S. passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to prove your citizenship.

Is divorce going to affect my immigration status if I decide to apply for citizenship in two years or any time after that?

The divorce shouldn't matter as long as the marriage was genuine. And you must wait 5 years after receiving your green card before you can apply for US citizenship (not 3).
