Born in you.S With diplomatic parents

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,
Does any one now if I have the right for U.S citizenship?

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 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 have a duo citizenship. Yep you can live in America

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 don't 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

Hello I read your message and unfortunately can not help you. It would be very kind if you would answer me the following question: does a person who is born in the US and whose parents are part of a diplomatic mission get the same birth certificate as any other

Same thing is Happening to Me. I was born In the United staes to diplomatic parents of Nigeria. I have lived here most of my life (17 years) and now my parents told me that I am not an US citizen, that I am a permanent resident. I just think that it is really not fair. I was born here. I am a citizen, I don't give a crap what anyone says.
