I'm trying to find help in obtaining Greek citizenship through my father, who was born in Greece, still has his Greek passport, but is now a naturalized U.S. citizen. The main problem I am having is finding a consulate that will even talk to me/help me. The one consulate that has been helpful is unfortunately NOT the consulate that I need to apply with, evidently because they each have a different jurisdiction. Has anyone been successful with this and if so could you suggest the best way of approaching the consulate to get the process started. I have tried email, phone calls, postal mail and even faxes, but have YET to get any response. I am trying to contact the Consulate General at the Embassy in Washington, D.C. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!!!

If only one of your parents is Greek, the process will usually take a couple of years. My situation was very straightforward [my father was a Greek citizen, and married in a religious ceremony] but it still took about 3 years for me to actually get the passport.

Best thing to do is get all your documents in order and make an appointment at the Consulate. If you send them something via Postal Mail, make sure it is registered, and ask for a response. They are required to provide a protocol number, and respond to you.
