No. You are not a US citizen until you formally apply to become a US citizen, complete the process and attend the swearing-in ceremony - when you will receive your naturalization paper. Then you will become a bonafide US citizen.

Marriage to a US citizen does not constitute automatic citizenship.

You are a citizen if you took the oath of citizenship. Plenty of foreigners live here on green cards, they are not citizens. Which country holds your passport?

NO. Citizenship has to be applied for and you have to take

a test (not hard).

You have been here long enough to become a Citizen any time now if you wish.

You can however hold one Citizenship only with many countries. So, you may lose the one you are holding now.

You only become a citizen when you apply to be one, go thru the process, the interviews, and take the test, then finally go to the oath taking ceremony and take the oath of allegiance, then you are an American , before that you are only a guest here, and can be ask to leave at any time,

hope that helps

good luck

NO!  What type of visa(s) have you had for the past 30 years that allowed you to remain here legally all that time?

If you did not have an immigration-class visa and get legal permanent residence, you are not even on track to become a citizen yet.  Only after you have an immigration-class visa (any type that permits you to obtain legal permanent residence and naturalization), get legal permanent residence long enough to apply for naturalization and complete your English and citizenship exams and naturalization ceremony (oath) can you become a naturalized citizen.

Are you naturalized? Or just a green card holder?

No, you are not. There are different processes you must go thru before becoming a U. S. of A. citizen.
