Re: Getting Naturalized under mom's paperwork

Depending on your age and your status when your mother became a citizen, you may also have become a citizen. The law in this area has changed many times in recent years. You should seek the advice of an immigration attorney who will want to review your mother's naturalization certificate as well as documentation regarding your entry to the US to determine if you are a citizen and the appropriate steps to take to obtain proof of US citizenship.
