If your born on a foreign embassy?
|
From what I know an embassy is technically considered a territory of its country so lets say a child born in a US embassy in a foreign country will he be considered an American citizen since technically he was born on American soil?

It is a very common misconception that embassies and consulates (and sometimes military bases) are somehow not the "soil" of the country where they exist, but are the "soil" of the country renting the space. This is not true. Diplomatic entities are only protected under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, which you will find here. See especially Article 27:

So a child born in the US embassy in Paris, Tokyo or Yaounde will acquire citizenship from one or both parents, not from the US. |

Some of those visa lines are long, but not that long. However, simply being born in the US embassy wouldn't make anyone a US citizen, because it's not actually American soil in any legal sense. However, being born in an airplane flying over US soil would make someone a US citizen. Go figure. |

The odds of being born in/on an embassy are slim -- they don't usually have hospitals on embassy grounds.
I'd say no...
However, if you are born overseas to American parents, you are an American citizen. |
