Sorry if this is the wrong section but this is a tricky situation and I am confused. Hopefully you guys will be able to help me. The grandmother is a US citizen who moved to Mexico and got married. She had a daughter but never did anything to get dual citizenship. The daughter grew up not knowing that her mother was a US citizen and later on had 3 kids in Mexico. We can get citzenship for the mother but we facing a problem with granting it to the son of the mother. Now we trying to see what options we have because the mother did not live in the United States prior to giving birth. Is there a way around it because she didn't know that could've been a US citizen.

Just to clarify: Generation 1 is the Grandmother who was born in the United States. Generation 2 is the Mother born in Mexico. Generation 3 is the son born in Mexico that we are trying to get Citizenship for.

Thank you guys for any help you guys offer. I know immigration is a very difficult situation. I tried looking online but I can't find much information on it.
 
The son isn't eligible for citizenship at birth through his mother, because his mother didn't live in the US before his birth. But if he is still under 18, he may qualify for citizenship via the N-600K process if his grandmother has enough proof of herself living in the US for the required number of years.
