Can I get my Usa citizenship?
Hi Guy's,
How is it going?
I need to ask you something, because I have a big Problem.
My English is not that good. SORRY about that. I hope you guy's will understand me.
So, I am born in germany and I am from germany. I life already 8 months in USA. California. but, I would like to have a US Citizenship.
My mother is german and She lives in Germany and my father is US American and he lived his whole life in USA. So, I am half german and half american. I moved to USa because I want to study drafting and design.
Right now I have a big Problem. I won't get my US paper. That's mean I can't study. But I wantto do it.
My Story:
My father has a borther and they are twins. When they went to the USA Army, They sent both of them to Germany. Over there they met my mother. My mother got married with my uncle. But then my mother got in LOVE with my father. then my mother was in relationship with my father. Then I was born. After my birth my uncle signed the paternity. Then mu mother and uncle got separated. (DEWARS)
When I was 1 years old my uncle went back to USa. (Now I am 22 years old.) In USa my uncle droped of a house now He is in a wheelcair. After that my father went also back to USa, because he wanted to Help him.
Now I am in USa and usually I can get my paper, right? Because my father and uncle are American.
My Uncle wrote a letter to the government and he filled out all the papere from government. Then i got a letter back. In this letter war written that my uncle needed to live 5 years before I was born in german. But He didnt. Now my uncle is in a hospital and he might die. I am really scared because if he die i dont get my paper. We also tried to get my paper with my father but it doesnt work. Because my uncle is on my paper my father. I know its very confuse. I dont know what I can do. Do I have a chance to get my US Papre.
Would be great for some good infos. SORRY about my englihs its very bad. I need my papere. I like so much USa. I want to stay here. WHAT CAN I DO?
Thx

Honorable Military Service, employment with US Government or international

Your situation needs to be studied in detail whether or not the reference I

Re: Can I get my Usa citizenship?
I think the most important issue here is to find out if your legal father (your uncle) satisfies the residence requirement. Since you were born before November 1986, these are: 10 years physical presence in the US, 5 of which after the age of 14. See here, the section "Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock":
http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html
Does your legal father meet this requirement? What about his brother?

Legally, who is your father? What does your birth certificate say?
was it your uncle or your father (biological father)? I think the
"LEGAL" father is the one that needs to petition on your behalf to
land you an immigrant visa (ie, Permanent Resident).
It is advisable to seek a reputable immigration to file the paper work
for u.

His legal father is his uncle, who was married to his mother when he was born. According to him the real biological father is the legal father's twin brother. I think he should first of all check if his legal father meets the physical presence requirements. If he does not, he may want to check whether his twin brother does (a bit difficult to prove paternity if they are identical twins, though). If all else fails, he could indeed get his legal father to petition for him as unmarried son/daughter (aged 21 or over) of a U.S. citizen. However I understand this can take years to process, and should be a last resort. Since his legal father is in poor health I would also recommend he should contact an immigration attorney ASAP.

After reading through message from OP the second time, I think you
conclusion is correct. And yes, a call to a lawyer is warranted.

Re: Can I get my Usa citizenship?
Hi Guys
Thanks for all the infos....
I'm going to call the Lawyer and the german consulat in California.
I hope it will help me.
Yes my uncle is my legal father on my paper.

Just to clarify, I assume then that this regulation does not apply to you:
Who is born a United States citizen?
(3) Through birth abroad to ONE United States citizen
In most cases, you are a U.S. citizen if ALL of the following are true:
a.. One of your parents was a U.S. citizen when you were born;
b.. Your citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before
you were born; and
c.. At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after your
citizen parent's 14th birthday*.
Your record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy,
is proof of your citizenship. You may also apply for a passport to have your
citizenship recognized. If you need additional proof of your citizenship,
you may file an "Application for Certificate of Citizenship" (Form N-600)
with USCIS to get a Certificate of Citizenship.
*If you were born before November 14, 1986, you are a citizen if your U.S.
citizen parent lived in the United States for at least 10 years and 5 of
those years in the United States were after your citizen parent's 14th
birthday.

You are saying that your uncle did NOT live in the United States for 5 years
prior to your birth or else that your uncle did not live in the United
States for 2 years after he turned 14 years old?
