Born on an Army Base in Korea

Question:

Hi Jim. I was born on an army base in Seoul, Korea in 1977. My father was stationed there at that time. I would like to know if I have the right to citizenship. If you can assist me with any type of info I would be thankful.

Jim's Reply:

You're raising a very complex issue and I think you'll need professional help. I'll suggest that you start here.  Read that thoroughly and then contact the American Embassy for further guidance.
