I am a 35 year old legal permanent resident. I was born overseas. My biological father is a u.s citizen and was in the military. My mother was not married to him and he did not sign my birth certificate. My mother did marry my step father he is a u.s citizen and was also in the military and he adopted me. What rights do I have as far as getting approve for u.s citizenship and what paperwork do I need to file.

Hi I was trying to find out if I Qualify to fill out form N-600. I have been in Atlanta, GA since I was 10. Never traveled overseas. I am married to u.s citizen and have been married 11 years now. I just thought I could apply for the N-600.
Because your step father adopted you then you would not qualify under your biological father and you would not qualify under your step-father.So you do not qualify for the N-600 and have to go the route of the N-400.If your step father had adopted you as an orphan than that would have changed things, but not since he filed the I-130 for you.If your mother became naturalized before you turned 18 then you may have Citizenship transmitted through her.Judith
