US born but as a child of foreign diplomat
I was born in the US as a child of a foreign diplomat. I recently became a Canadian citizen and the passport shows the birth place as NY USA. Obviously, I am not and cannot be a US citizen according to the US constitution. As all US citizens are required to enter the US with their passports, but I am not, will I have issues at the US border; and could being the offspring of a foreign diplomat be explanation enough?
Best Answer
You will not have trouble entering the US. If you are questioned about your birthplace, you simply state the facts: You were born as a child of a foreign diplomat in the US on official service. That should be enough to satisfy the officer. They will not presume that you are a US citizen and you are not claiming that you are.
