My daughter has an American father and we are divorced. Can she still be naturalized?
Her father has been living in California
for 4 years prior to that in Mexico
since he was born he holds an American
and Mexican passport.
Me and my daughter live in Mexico I am
Mexican and I want her to study junior
high school in Utah.
During this stay is it possible for her
to get naturalized without living with
his father but having him as his
sponsor?
What are the options she has to make
this legally.
Thanks in advance

Can you please clarify a few more points. Was the father born in the US? Was he born in Mexico to US citizen parents? Were you married to the father at the time of the child's birth? How old is the child? Did the child ever live with the father? For how long?
