Answer 1

you need a lawyer

CAN you prove what you say

you have a live birth certificate with your mother's name

(?) and father now you have your proof..

Answer 2

It sounds like you may have a good chance with your parents documents. Complete applications for US green card. When called for interview at local consulate, bring all those documents with you and show them to the interviewer.

If that doesn't get you results then check into hiring an immigration attorney.

Answer 3

Well, gather up whatever you have and go the the American Citizens Services section at the embassy in San Jose. Take a look at their website at sanjose.usembassy.gov.  Given the lenghth of time it's been since you were born and the fact that both your parents are dead, it will likely take quite some time to get them to recognize your claim.

Answer 4

just prove that they were us citizen and you will get the us citizenship as well.

i mean, there must be a record in usa where it is mentioned that they were us citizens.

good luck!!

Answer 5

As long as you have papers, I'm sure you're qualified to become a citizen. You will need to apply.

If your child (YOU) permanently resides abroad, your child does not qualify for automatic citizenship under the CCA. However, you can apply for citizenship for your child by filing form N-600K (Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322). You can submit this form to any USCIS District Office or Sub-Office in the United States.
