Naturalization law has changed over the years. Whether you are a citizen through your parents depends on a lot of facts that you have not provided. I suggest you consult with an experienced Immigration attorney or read the qualifications for naturalization at USCIS.gov

We can explain song Sesay for you. Call about the case and divorce.
