Actually it’s automatic, which is why she said you’re already a citizen. It sounds like all you need is a form or something official that shows that. If they asked for your father’s birth certificate, they may just need that to authenticate it and give you what you need. If your father saved all of his paperwork, maybe he has something with you listed already. So you aren’t really gaining citizenship as much as getting documentation that you already have it.
I am hoping it is like than and they don't make me submit an N-600 which is $1170 which unfortunately is a lot of money for me right now.

It sounds like your citizenship must be done through acquisition rather than naturalization. With your father’s documentation, you will become a citizen I believe as of the date he was naturalized. In the end you end up with citizenship, but through a different process. You won’t have naturalization but be more like someone born here. I’m not 100% sure of what you’ll get, but it’s the same result, a different process to get to it.
Edit: it’s derivative citizenship that applies. Acquisition is different
Do you know which process this would be?

Hello,
I had my citizenship interview on June 20th 2021 a year after applying for N-400 under the 5 year permanent residence rule.
I passed the test everything good, the officer told me I passed but I could not be granted citizenship because I was already one.
My dad had become US citizen before I turned 18. She then requested me to submit evidence of my dad's birth certificate.
What is going to happen? Will I just be denied the N-400?
If I'm already a citizen why ask for more proof and what should I do.
I want to be done with my naturalization papers soon so that I can petition for my fiance in the near future.
Thank you.
Am I a US Citizen can I apply for a US passport with the secondary evidence as their guidelines?
in Passports, etc. - What to do now that you are a US citizen

Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received July 1, 2021 We sent a request for initial evidence for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. June 23, 2021 We scheduled an interview for your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. May 19, 2021 We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and sent you a receipt notice. July 20, 2020
This is the timeline for my peculiar case.
As background story I was born in Mexico. At age 9 my grandparents legally adopted me in hopes to be able to help me migrate to the US and finish my studies. Both my grandparents lived in the US one of them being a US citizen trough naturalization.
At age 15. I entered the US trough a land port of entry and was detained because I had no documents to grant me entry other than the fact now both of my parents (grandparents ) lived here and I wanted to be with them.
I was paroled and allowed entry, we went to court for nearly two years and was awarded permanent residency in 2015.
Fast forward give years to 2020 when I completed the 5 year permanent resident period to be able to apply for citizenship trough N-400. I applied submitted everything that is the timeline you are seeing up there. After a year of waiting I have my interview. I passed the test I passed everything but the officer tells me that I might already be a citizen because my dad was a citizen when I received my Permanent residency and I was under 18.
The sent me home and sent an RFE asking for my adoption papers and my birth certificate. It's been more than two months now and there is no update I'm sincerely growing desperate.
A lot of people told me I wasted my money with the N-400 and I should have just applied for US passport.
I want to bring my fiance to the US soon and I know another way to proof citizenship is trough US passport. Which brings me to the question can I go and apply for a US passport now trough secondary evidence? Like my dad's certificate of Naturalization
Help!!!!
