Please contact me, or another experienced immigration attorney at my toll free number below. This would require more details about your mother's situation when you were born.
Hello:
If you did qualify for derivative citizenship, you could directly apply for a passport.
I need to know when exactly you were born and your mother; and when your mother resided in the U.S.
