You appear to be qualified for automatic US citizenship if you were in the legal and physical custody of your father after coming to the US and before the age of 18. In such case, you should be able to file Form N-600 Application for Certificate of Citizenship to USCIS with the filing fee of $1170. You can apply online by creating an online account with USCIS or send by paper to the Phoenix lockbox of USCIS. The address of the lockbox is: U.S. Postal Service (USPS): USCIS P.O. Box 20100 Phoenix, AZ 85036 FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries: USCIS Attn: Form N-600 1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S Suite 100 Phoenix, AZ 85034-4850 Good luck!
