Can I get U.S citizenship through naturalized parents? Am over 18.?

Question

I know that if I was under 18 years of age at the time my parents were naturalized I would automatically receive citizenship, however I was OVER 18 and cannot seem to find any information what this means for me. I know I can't get automatic citizenship, but can I still apply for citizenship based on their naturalized status? I am currently a permenent green card holder.

Thank you!

Answer 1

You  don't even need to do that. You are over 18 years old and as long as you have no felony record, have had your green card for more than 5 years and have not been out of this country for more than 1 year, you can apply on your own merits to become a citizen.

Good Luck

Answer 2

No your parents no longer have any bearing on your status since you are over 18. You have to apply on your own
