Am I eligible for US citizenship? Please help!

[hossamo33]

Hi guys,

I am 23 years old. My father who was a US citizen, passed away when I was only 10 years old. I was born in Egypt, and I've lived in Egypt ever since! I've never been to America. Am I eligible for US citizenship if I can prove that my father was indeed American? How does this work? What are the rules? What documents will I need?

Any help/advice would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

You need to give more information. For starters, was your father a US citizen when you were born? Was your mother a US citizen? Were you born in wedlock (i.e. were your biological parents married when you were born)? How much time had your father spent in the US before you were born?
