On page 1 of the "Declaration," they request "Anno di prima emigrazione" or "year of first emigration." Any idea what that means? I don't have a good guess for that, especially since the next question is "date of arrival in Texas, Oklahoma, Lousiana, or Arkansas." Perhaps that question is intended for Italians who come to the US, and I should answer "Not Applicable?"
For that second question, I was planning to list the very first time I moved to Texas, which was 1976. I have left Texas and returned a couple times since then, however. What do you think about those two questions?
Then, under "city of last residence in Italy" I planned to list: "None" and perhaps put the same thing under "province." [oh, should I be answering these questions in Italian? I could use Google Translate to do it.]
On page 2, section 4 is Document. It asks for passport information like date of issue and number. I assume they mean my Italian passport once it's issued. Do you agree? It seems hard to imagine they want my US passport information. Thus I intend to leave it blank. [their instructions say to send these documents back in order to facilitate the passport process, so I'm not supposed to wait, it seems]
Then, on the AIRE enrollment form, for the "place of birth" line I assume I should use the place I was actually born, LOL. I know how dumb that sounds.
Any feedback is appreciated, and hopefully this helps others along their journey if they see these or similar documents!
