I was born in the USA. What country am I chargeable under?

Print

Usually, none. You are most likely already a US citizen.

The exception to this rule is if your parents were in the USA as diplomats. In that case, you would be chargeable to your country of citizenship, or if you are not a citizen of any country, to your last country of residence (presumably, if you are already residing in the USA, that would mean the previous place of residence).

There have been some rumors that a special immigration category exists for children of diplomats born in the US. I have no further information as to the truth of this rumor, and have doubts about the truth of them. Any such category should be listed in the INA, but I did not find anything there.
