What is the name of your state?Utah
I am 41 yrs. old I was born in England, when I was 5 yrs old my family went to Calif. on a 2-week visa and we never went back. I have graduated from a Utah High School, I registered for the Selective Service when I was 16 because that was the law. I had a temporary residents card but it expired in 1986. I have paid taxes ever since I was 16yrs old. I have even spent time in the Salt Lake County Jail (1 year) I am currently on supervised probation.
I have been married twice both to American Citizens and I have a 21 yr old son who was born in Utah. How come my alien status has never came up?
What should I do I want to become an American Citizen, I do not even remember England. My family members have all gotten their citizenships I am the last one. Any advise would be welcomed. Would getting an attorney be the best bet for me.
Thank You

Uh, YES.
NOT a Do It Yourself case.

If you have been presenting yourself as a US citizen, the consequenses could be quite unpleasant.
www.aila.org is a trade group for immigration attorneys. Shop around until you find one familiar with your type of case. Ask them to prove it. The only thing worse than taking advice off the internet for this sort of thing, is paying heavily for it only to learn that the attorney in question had no idea, but wanted to learn on your nickle.
