All the way back in ME1 in the codex, about Humanity and the Systems Alliance > Human Dimplomatic Relations, it is stated that the Alliance has no formal contact with the quarians yet but Darla ''vas Hyperion'' says that her parents where dimplomats or delegates who lived among the quarians, they even had their own enviromental suits. Also there appears to be two meetings with her and different dialogue: Once when you're fresh out of the end battle and you can meet her with her friends then if you leave and come back she will be alone and offer some different dialogues.
Council Legal fiction.
"We don't really have an ambassador with the Quarians, Council. We just happen to have a family that we sent to handle any negotiations."

Early American global consulates - "we have a citizen who lives there, so let's hire him to deal with any diplomatic issues"
Not relevant, Arthurh3535 & fudgietroll. The Mass Effect universe is much more... grounded than that (if that term works, as in established or a better foundation for politics).
But I did notice that the Darla ''von Hyperion'' character can be taken two ways:
1. The first meeting with her, after first awaking during the epilogue and talking to her and her friends, what she say seem to suggest that she was raised strictly by quarians (which is how it is spelled, Arthurh, since the names are common nouns; no capitalizations) and that her own parents wheren't in the picture and that she meant that her quarian godparents are the diplomats within the Migrant fleet. If so, it wouldn't--as far as I can see--be lore breaking.
2. Or, as the second meeting with her after leaving Meridian and coming back then talking to Darla when she is alone suggests, Darla arrived with her parents to the Migrant Fleet. As she says (paraphrasing) ''they were diplomats within the Migrant Fleet.'' Which does contradict the lore as even by as late as 2183 (ME1 starts here), the Systems Alliance and the Migrant Fleet have no official diplomatic relations.
So, I guess it can be either way. Her real parents could be dead and quarians found and raised Darla - but that seems improbable, the quarians would probably turn over the human survivor instead of forcing her to be raised by aliens. One can have godparents without their true parents being dead.
Or she's a mad hatter and was just lying about it trying to be special 😉

With the chiralty thing about food, I can not seen any captain letting humans stay on the fleet without them paying and providing for themselves. So my idea of 'unofficial ambassadors' to get around the Citadel laws sounds more likely.
Captains have already, as early as in ME2, let humans live on their ships. In ME2, or before, Cerberus attacked a quarian liveship to recover a biotic(?) refugee hiding there and that is why Tali and Cerberus hates each other. Miranda talks about it when she meets Tali on Horizon and Tali first when helping her during her trial. So humans can, appearently, stay at the quarians. The thing is to figure out if they can integrate into their doctrines and be given a quarian ship name without breaking the lore.
