If that is what the embassies and consulates are for than I wouldn't have a problem with that. At the moment I have to call a number to make an appointment and get shaked down by consulate security to get in to file an announcement of birth. I also have to pay a fee for that same announcement. I think you are under the impression US embassies are a country club that expats just go to and have a cocktail from time to time.
