What the Consular Section cannot do

The American Citizens Services office cannot act as your travel agent, bank, lawyer, investigator or law enforcement agent. Please do not expect the office to find you employment, get you residence or driving permits, act as interpreters, search for missing luggage or settle disputes with hotel managers. You may not stay at the Embassy if you are stranded. However, the office can tell you how to obtain help on these and other matters.
