US Citizenship

Hello everyone
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me already. My concern is that I was 14 when my dad applied for his citizenship, somehow, when we received some paper they gave me the same age as my brother. So it ended up taking more time story to get our age fixed. My dad recently took his oath, and he also told me and my siblings that we are citizens too. What I would like to know is that now I am 20, does that mean I can still be a citizen under him as the process started when I was 14 or 15? He told us that we had to go to the court to get our American passport
 
So your dad became a citizen after you turned 18? If so, then you are not a citizen, and you need to apply for naturalization using N-400 and go through the process like all adults. If your dad became a citizen before you turned 18, then you are probably a citizen, and you can apply for a Certificate of Citizenship with N-600.
 
I don't think you're a US citizen.

You're 20 now, your father applied for citizenship when you were 14, and then he recently took the citizenship oath? Something doesn't add up. It's highly unusual for the citizenship process to take 5 or 6 years.

I think when you were 14 he was applying for a green card, not citizenship. Then he recently became a US citizen (this year or last year). That would mean you didn't derive citizenship because you were 18 or older when he became a citizen.

Do you have a green card now? If yes, how old were you when you got it? How old were you when your father become a US citizen?
