Story

The Residence of the Embassy of Cameroon in Washington, D.C., also known as the Christian Hauge House, is the official residence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Cameroon to the United States. In 2009, the Embassy vacated the building temporarily to allow for a major renovation of the property, and relocated for the meantime to 1700 Wisconsin Ave, N.W., then to its current location at 3400 International Drive N.W.The current ambassador of Cameroon to the United States is Joseph Bienvenu Charles Foe-Atangana.BuildingConstruction of the Christian Hauge House began in 1906 and was designed by George Oakley Totten, Jr. The house was commissioned by Hauge, a diplomat from Norway. Hauge died in 1907, never seeing his mansion completed. His wife lived in the house until 1927.While under Cameroon ownership, the Christian Hauge House has fallen into sever dereliction. Residents of the neighborhood describe what has happened as "African Embassy Blight", a seemingly common phenomenon where African countries purchase premier Kalorama homes and then allow them to deteriorate. A similar outcome can be seen in the Zambian embassy 50 ft away.As of April 11, 2016, The president of the Republic of Cameroon just appointed a new Ambassador to Washington DC. Mr. Henri Etoundi Essomba formerly Cameroon's Ambassador to Israel to replace Mr. Bienvenu Foe Atangana.

My experience at the embassy in DC has been very positive contrary to others seeking similar services. In 2012, I was renewing my passport and the process was straight through. Yes, they provide services, but they equally require respect and courtesy. Unfortunately a lot of people walk in with preconceived negativity which invariably plays out as expected. Often, what you recieve is a reflection of what you give. Last week, I applied for a visa and got it back in record time far below their standard 7 days turnaround time. I couldn't be happier. Better days lie ahead if we all put up a positive attitude in our interactions with the embassy.✔💯

Very rude people. Cameroon is a bilingual country not only French. All they do is speak to you in French. The one thing that annoyed me most was the fact, the lady collecting the documents for visa. Give me an appointment on a day that the embassy is closed. I drove all the way the embassy for the front desk to tell me that they are closed. How can I country develop if we don't know how to treat the people right. It is a shame.

I was extremely delighted by the outstanding and welcoming attitude exhibited by the young lady in the consular section of the Cameroon Embassy when dropping and 48 hrs later retrieving my visa application. She is caring, helpful and answered all concerns without being pushy, making one feel very proud of being cameroonian. Thumbs up to the entire staff...keep it up!

Worst setup EVER! The phone extensions always say that the mailbox is full. You just get transferred to a full voicemail in mid sentence. I always have to wait for specific time windows... in other words wait until the lobby is standing room only to pick up documents that are dropped off days in advance even if you arrive hours beforehand.

Its clearly written on thier website, " call us if you have any questions" but when i called on more than 2 different occasions,they keep referring me to same website. I wonder what the customer service is for.
