Hello. There is a consulate report to make. Do contact a knowledgeable private attorney as needed and she/he will be happy to help you. You may phone my law firm on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as weekdays. Immigration and Visa law is federal law, so any knowledgeable licensed attorney may assist you. This website provides general information and general principles of law and does not provide private legal advice. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.

Hello. You can file for a Consulate Report of Birth Abroad based on your citizenship and US residency history. This is done directly with the Embassy. Certain conditions apply if you naturalized or were born in the US and proof of your residency in the US for 5 years.
