Thank you....

that makes me an American citizen at birth...

My great grandmother was born overseas of 1 US citizen parent so she was an American citzen at birth...

her daughter my grandmother was born overseas of 1 US citizen parent, her mother, so she also was an American citizen at birth...

My dad was born overseas of 1 US citIzen parent, his mother, so he too was an American citzen...

I was born overseas of i US citzen parent, my father, so I was an American citzen at birth...

I did get naturalized but that was just for form etc...

;)

If you fit this, then you are a US citizen at birth without any action by anybody:

***(a)SEC. 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of w’hom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who,

prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States ‘ or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less ‘ than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age “ of fourteen years: Provided^ That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may be included in computing the physical presence requirements “ of this paragraph.
