Need some clarification..

 

When you say expired you mean he is deceased?

When did your father become a citizen?

When did he file for you?

Your age?

if your father is deceased unless you have another USC relative, then your petition is not going to go any where.

ye he is deceased.

 

my father became a citizen before i born, but my father did not filed for me until i was 18 that's a big  mistake done by my dad   otherwise i was an  American by birth.

 

he filed me in 2014

 

my age is 27.

he filed me in 2014

 

my age is 27.

 

 

 

Do you have any close US relative that can be a substitute sponsor?  That is your only option to get a green card under the petition filed by your father.  A friend can not help you.  Only a qualified substitute sponsor can help you.

A qualified substitute sponsor MUST BE a:

• Your spouse, parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sibling, child, son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, or legal guardian.

Hm, I don’t believe that’s true. If you are born a citizen, then you are born a citizen even if you were not filed for as a minor. Can you prove the circumstances required for you to claim citizenship by birth (such as your father having had the required presence in the US)?

otherwise, if you needed him to file for you by 18 then you were not born a citizen.
