Was your father a US citizen when you were born? Are you under 18?

thanks for quick reply.im 20 and my dad was a u.s citizen when i was born
You might be able to claim US citizenship, regardless of where your father currently lives.
See http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_5199.html
he was in the US till the age of 4 and traveled back and fort a bit after the age of 14 so he could have been there for the two years after 14 aswell the only problem is he doesn't know how he can prove it.:/
does anyone know if my dads cousin living in the U.S co sponsors am i then eligible??

Your father needs to be domiciled in the US to sponsor you. That doesn't mean he has to be living in the US right now, but if he hasn't lived there since he was 14 he's going to have a problem convincing the consulate that he's domiciled in the US unless he moves back to the US during the green card process.

thanks for the info
Any idea how he would go about proving he had made up the two years after the age of 14 would customs keep a record or anything like that? Regards.
Did he attend school in the US? School records can be used for that purpose.
