We all took on my his last name and i always assumed that I was adopted. I graduated in 1974 at an army base high school . i got married in 1976 to a native tennessean and have been married for almost 30 yrs, have 2 children and 2 great grandchildren, My step father died a few years ago and i found out that I was not adopted and am not american citizen. I now want to become one and would like to know the best procedure..I have live in Tennessee for 35 yrs now

You can apply for adjustment of status (that will get you green card) based on your continous stay since Jan 1, 1972. Look at https://www.immihelp.com/i-485-adjus...tus/index.html

After you get your greencard, wait for 5 years. Then you can apply for citizenship. Look at https://www.immihelp.com/usa-citizen...aturalization/
