Embassies and consulates are two different things. There was no consulate until it was opened in Tripoli on August 26. Christopher Stevens spoke at the opening ceremony.



“I’m happy to announce that starting on Monday, August 27, we are ready to offer a full range of consular services to Libyans,” stated Stevens at the ceremony in Tripoli. “This means non-immigrant visas, as well as assistance to Americans residing in, or visiting, Libya.”

The State Department website lists no consulate in Benghazi.
