My mom got her Certificate of Citizenship but hasn't lived in the US for more than 5 years


Hi this is my case I'd be very grateful if you could help me.


-I'm Dan from Denmark.
-I'm 20 years old and I'm going to turn 21 in next December.
-My mom was born in Denmark too, but just got her Certificate of Citizenship(by filling the n-600) in 2011 through her father who is a US citizen(He has lived more than 5 years in the US but after fighting in the Korean war he got a work opportunity in Denmark and also married a Danish girl and has been living here since then).
-My mom hasn't lived in the US before, she just started working for a company in Michigan by December 2011.
-I'm an Engineering student and I'd like to have the possibility to work and live in the US in case I don't get a job here.

My questions are:
Can I get the US citizenship through my mother through the n-600 form after she has lived in the US for more than 5 years?
Or what would be the process I'd have to follow?

Thanks a lot for helping me and sorry for my English if a commit a mistake.

Are you married?

No, I'm not.

I do not believe you are entitled to acquire citizenship through your mother.

You could have acquired citizenship at birth if your mother had lived with her dad for five years while he served in the armed forces. Your post implies that he was honorably discharged prior to her birth, so this is not the case.

You could have acquired citizenship prior to the age 18 if your mother had petitioned for you to receive permanent residency, and then you had both lived together in the United States.

You are still eligible for permanent residency, which gives you the right to live and work in the United States. After residing in the United States as a permanent resident, you will be entitled to apply for naturalization.

After residing in the United States as a permanent resident, you will be entitled to apply for naturalization.

I should have stated: "after residing in the United States as a permanent resident for five years, you will be entitled to apply for naturalization."

I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, I was vacationing and I didn't have the opportunity to check your response.

Thank you very much for having answered me.

I'm going to contact an immigration lawyer to start with the process to obtain the green card as soon as possible before I get 21.
