Thanks. I saw that website, but I questioned the legitimacy of the info....

Hello, i tried to search the web and this site, but couldn't find an answer.
In order to apply for citizenship thru marriage, I need to obtain background checks.
I have only lived in NY. Does anyone have any experience or information to share?
I called my local police station and they had no idea ...

The list from the consulate seems longer! They want names to match. I will look at the letters of exempl. to see which dept issued them.

Do i have to base the name change by what is on the BC or can it be based on the name used most often?

How does one include an aka?

I have looked on microfilm ...

Thanks Drew.
How can I tell from whom the docs were issued? And when you say 'supporting documentation', what are you referring to?

Here's the list:

NYC:
GGM MC states born in Italy (wasn't)
GGM BC last name spelled wrong by two extra letters

Pennsylvania: GGM DC contains anglicized name. Smetimes she is virginia other times vincenza.

NYC
GF BC is OK
GF MC is missing and the one from the church spells his name as Michael ...

How co you get an affadavit of anglicization? I have a few docs that have 3 different spellings for one person nThanks

Well, I had my appt today at the consulate and as I already knew, there are so many name spelling discrepancies for a 3 people, on at least 3 docs for each person (that don't match up).
On my GGM's MC it even states she was born in Italy which she was not!

Is it completely complicated to have ...

Hi JJ313
I have downloaded all of the templates that seem useful from the italian citizenship site. Any chance that the ones you have arebetter/more updated? I need to translate my docs this week for my upcoming appointment... If you have any you'd like to share, I'd appreciate it very much!! My ...

Hi Lori. Did they give you a reason why they wouldnt accept the docs you translated? I have found some templates to follow and I teach Italian in NYC (licensed by NYS) and was planning on doing them myself. I also spoke to Gianluca Croce and he asked for $50/page which seems so high!!
Did you ever ...

How much have you all been quoted per page? I was quoted 50

Nice! Sounds like San Fran is a lot more lenient than NYC. I am concerned about my GF being Michele ANgelo on his BC and then Michael Angelo on his MC, DC, BC of my Mom, etc....
We shall see!

can I do anything ahead of time? an affadavit from someone swearing he is one and the same?

what is odd is that michele angelo and michael angelo are one and the same and since birth dates are listed, as are parents' names on all docs, it's strange to make a big deal and question it. imo.

Yes.... ggf-gf-m-me


any advice on how to 'change' it or get a legalized document saying he is one and the same?

His DC and my mom's BC come from Pennsylvania. (PA also messed up my GM's bc. Botched her first name big time)

Thanks RJ. I've already checked there without any luck. I am going down to Little Italy today to check out the churches for baptismal records. Might those be acceptable??

Karen, the amount of docs is amazing. and because it goes back so far, there is so much room for trouble. As it is, my GF was ...
