Where is the mexican consulate in dallas?

Where can I find an US Embassy/Consulate inside the USA?

  • I was born in Germany, when my dad was serving the US Army in Munich Germany. I finally got my US Passport and Citizenship almost a year ago and decided a month later to finally move to the USA (Dallas, Texas) for good. So I've been over here for almost a year now and I'm having trouble getting my social security card/number, since I was born abroad and the social security office won't recognize my German birth certificate nor the extract of the birth registration (which is written in English). So they told me I need a "report of birth abroad" (also known as "consular report of birth"). The only way to get a report of birth abroad is, if I would go to a US consulate (in person like I've got told) and get it there. But it's hard for me to find a US consulate (tried Google) since I'm already in the USA. SO THE QUESTION: Does anyone know about a US embassy/consulate in the United States (if possible in the Dallas TX area…)?

  • Answer:

    You're familiar with the morass of burocracy. Since you have your passport, you're a citizen. The details of your birth- a german hospital, not a US military one- and your german birth certificate make me think your mom was German, but you had your citizenship through your dad. Let me give you my opinion, then a suggestion: You got State Department's blessing when they gave you a passport. Your problem is with Social Security Administration, not State Department. As a US citizen, you're a voter. (Even if you haven't voted, you're a voter.) As a voter, you have three federal people in high places who will listen to you and offer some help. Texas has two senators and there is one congressman that can intercede with SSA on your behalf. It's unlikely you'll get to talk to the individual senators or your congressman, but they all have staffers who will listen to you. More opinion: SSA is under regulatory constraints when they issue an SSA card. They have to be satisfied that you *deserve* the card. You have to prove that you have the right to be in the country and the right to a card. State has given you a passport, so that should cover everything, at least in my mind. This burocratic nonsense about a Form FS240, Consular Report of Birth Abroad is just that- nonsense. That form proves you're a citizen. But so does your passport. State issues both. It's ridiculous that you need *two* proofs of citizenship, from the same source. But burocracies grind very fine, don't they? This is where a phone call from your congressional representative may help. Either Congresman Pete Sessions (972) 392-0615 or Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (202) 225-8885 are your first place to begin. If you start by telling them you're a US citizen to whom SSA won't issue a card, you'll get their attention. Then you can explain all the details and, hopefully, get your SSA card. Take care!!

Embassies and consulates of any country can ONLY be located in foreign countries. These offices represent Country A's interests in Countries B, C, D, etc. There are no US consulates or embassies anywhere in the US. And that US Embassy in Georgia refers to the country of Georgia, not that state on the US East Coast also called Georgia. If your father was a US citizen, he should have filed a report of birth to a US citizen while abroad at the consulate nearest your birthplace. Apparently, he never filed this for you. You got a US passport? But you never obtained a properly attested translation of your birth certificate, consular report of birth to US citizen while abroad? Should have gotten all that handled before coming to the US. I'm surprised the consulate did not advise you properly when you got your US citizenship verified and passport issued. They should have done something then and there to ensure you'd get your Social Security card. At this point, all I can think of is to telephone the US consulate in Germany where you obtained your US passport, explain the problem, and ask how to get that consular report now that you are in the US. It's worth a try to phone them.

The USA does not have an embassy or consulate in the country, just outside. I would guess you were born in a military hospital. Can't it provide a record?

Embassies and consulates are overseas offices of the US government. I think you need to contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Here's a link: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

Your passport should be an acceptable form of Identification.
