Hi, If anyone can assist me. I am US born with a French father. I have called the French Consulate in Los Angeles (my closest one) and they weren't helpful at all. In fact, I was treated poorly. I am trying to find out the steps necessary in order to obtain dual US/French citizenship. My father lives in Auray, France and is willing to help me on that end but he is older, I don't want to burden him if I can take care of this myself. If anyone can assist me, I would really appreciate it. I have seen different posts but none of them really addresses my exact situation. Any direction would be appreciated! Thank you, Brigitte

Apply for US Passport.

Go to France and apply for France passport.

Voila.

Your father must be the one who contact immigration on your behalf...

By the way, if...
Your parents were not legally married,
You were born in US,
Your father failed to report your birth to the nearest French consulate,
You are now over 18,

If all these apply in your case, it might be too late...
