...air question? So here is the situation and it is messy.
So according to the ammendment on February 27th, 2001, I am a derived citizen because my mom was naturalized and I was under 18 before 2/27/2001.
I do not have a certificate of citizenship, and have a Korean passport still.
Some law in 2007 states that I need a U.S. passport to reenter the U.S. after 2007.
My mom has lost her certificate of citizenship, but she still has her American passport.
I need an American passport for the above, and other reasons ( I'm worried the military might take me off the street and put me into their military under the assumption that i am 18 and a Korean citizen still- it has happened before)
To apply for an N 600 it takes 6 months processing time,
is there any other way for me to get an American passport?
Would my mom's passport and my license (showing my birth date) be enough proof that I am a citizen?
passport = mom is a citizen,
my birthday would show that i was under 18 when the amendment took affect.
Or do i have no chance?
What can i do?
