Born in U.S With diplomatic parents
Hi,
I would like to know if there is someone with similar issue or if any body can help.
I was born in NY and my dad was a diplomat.
Under the 14th amendment all people born on U.S soil have the right to citizenship.
Except children of foreign diplomats.
I currently live abroad and would like to come live in the U.S
I read somewhere that I have the right for perminant residency.
Any help will be useful.
Thanks

You just said that you read the children born in the us to diplomats do not have the right to a US citizenship.

Therefore your only way to obtain it is the same as everyone else. You can apply as a skilled worker or try and get a us company to hire you and do you immigration forms for you.

I heard that there are some exceptions.
If I am in the U.S. and apply for a passport will it help?

I have found my fathers position during the time of my birth.
He was Argentine Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations,

My advice would be to give it a try. For a US passport they require a birth certificate and two other forms of ID. Unless there is something special written on your birth certificate, they will have no way of knowing what your father's job was.

Normally everyone born in the US is forced to take US citizenship if they wish to enter or remain in the country. So apply at your nearest US embassy as you may be turned away at the border if you try to enter on another passport.

But you will not get permanent residency as a result of your birth, only a passport. And be aware that US citizens have to pay taxes on their world wide income whether they live in the US or not so think carefully before you embark!

I'm sorry but from the way i read this thread and your PM's your father was a diplomat, so if you were born in the US to diplomatic parents you dont qualify for citizenship, at least not automatically. Legally USCIS will consider your country of birth to be Argentina.

Perhaps you could apply under a work visa.

Hi there
All what you need is a child birth certificate or evidence of the child's age and identity
