A: Immigration attorneys rarely answer questions on this forum. You have to go see one for the advice that you need.
A: You are not a US citizen, so you cannot apply to get a US passport. If you are talking about getting a passport from the country where you hold citizenship, you need to contact that embassy. If you are talking about naturalizing to be a US citizen and use a US passport (although you do not need to become a US citizen to travel), then the entire process is jurisdiction and case-dependent. Start by contacting your embassy.
