Answer 1

I'm sorry you didn't try to get advice on your immigration situation before traveling.

Everybody above has written accurately. Your proof of U.S. citizenship is hazy. And since your closest connection to the U.S. (your daughter) is there with you, there is no chance that they will let you into the U.S. just to go and take care of her.

The first thing you need to do is try to get a K-visa which is odd since you're Canadian. I'm not sure Canadians require a visa to come to the U.S. When you get into the U.S., you must not leave. Immediately have your American husband file for Permanent Residency for you. You should be fine until you get your documentation together to show that you're a U.S. citizen.

Ask your husband to come to Canada to see you immediately. It is the quickest way your husband will see his child, and vice versa.

Act quickly, before things become more complicated.

Cheers.

Answer 2

You need the appropriate proof and a knowledgeable immigration attorney, not Yahoo Answers.  At best you will receive a suggestion that your husband visit you in Canada.

Edit:  A US citizen is not eligible for a US visa.

Answer 3

You already know this:  

Since your father was your only US citizen parent, and you were born before November 14, 1986, he must have had ten years of physical presence in the US, five of which were after reaching age 14, in the United States or its outlying possessions in order to pass on citizenship to you.  There is no way around the law, as you have learned.  It's a shame your parents didn't take care of this when you were born - it would have been simple then.  You and your mother need to find your father and get him to help you, or else figure out where he went to school and request his records.  There are no exceptions to this law.

Answer 4

You are only a US Citizen if your US Citizen parent lived in the US and you can prove it.

Apparently, you can not prove it.  However, you husband can petition for you to come to the US under a K visa and then a Green Card and then Citizenship.

Take the easiest and cheapest route K visa!

You do realize your proof of parentage and the residency of your father is not necessarily sufficient for the US government?

Answer 5

did you get married in the US ?

and since you were in the US  ,did you have permission to live in the US ? did you have a green card ? did you not apply for residency in the US ?

why has your husband not apply for a # petition for relatives # ? form: I-130 for you and your daughter ?
