Legal Question in Immigration Law in Connecticut
Legally enterred country at age 10 with mother and 2 younger siblings as asylee or technically "Indefinte Parolee" in 1981. None of us (children) have had our status officially changed to date. I have applied previously years ago but apparantly an application error occurred (in 1992) in that I was contacted prematurely for a "Naturalisation Interview". File has been in limbo since that time. Mother became citizen when I was age 18. I believe she left my name of one section of her application due to age restriction?? My name is on all other documents she filed. What are my Options? Possible length of time for Status Change if mother filed? Options for siblings younger than me during time of mother's naturalisation?

To naturalize (or become a US citizen), one has to become a lawful permanent resident first.
A person who enters the USA as refugee is required to apply for adjustment of status (Green Card) one (1) year after admission. Some people fail to do so. If not applied, you will not become a green card holder automatically.
Do you have a Green Card? What is your status/ It's not clear from your post.

Let's get you moving. Somehow you have gotten by with no status at this point, but possibly one pending. You don't know. To find out, you talk with a good immigration lawyer, lay out the facts. I don't believe your case is difficult to resolve -- but something needs to be done or accidentally you and your siblings an end up in a procedural nightmare. Not fun.
