No. The question is whether your mother received HER citizenship before you were 18 years old. If she did then you may derivatively have gotten citizenship but we have to make sure a few other requirements are in place. If that is not the case and you want to discuss your options give us a call and we'll get you in for a consultation ASAP.

Her husband has to file a petition for you. Depending on how old you are now, you may be eligible to file for your green card as well now.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Not automatically. Perhaps they filed some paperwork you don't know about. But if that's not the case, get in touch and I'll help you get it right. My fees are reasonable, but the government's can be steep.
