Re: Children born in U.S before father's naturalization

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Every applicant must apply with documents tracing to his/her last Italian-born ancestor. I know it makes no sense, but your daughter would need to apply through her own 1948 case.

Sadly, common sense is often not so common with the application process.

Re: Claiming Italian Citizenship

What we often call a 1948 case, is simply a case that challenges Italian law which did not permit a woman to pass citizenship to her child before 1948. After 1948, the law changed, and this restriction was dropped. Court challenges have been uniformly successful because, although consulates refuse ...

Re: Claiming Italian Citizenship

That’s true. But unfortunately, according to the law, he immediately derived US citizenship when he set foot on US soil, where his father lived and had already naturalized. The naturalization was derived because he was still a minor when he arrived. The census is often inaccurate.

Take a good look ...

Re: Claiming Italian Citizenship

In the first scenario: when Ignazio naturalized in 1926, his son, Salvatore, who was a minor when Ignazio naturalized, also naturalized. The 1952 date is likely not a naturalization, but a Certificate of Citizenship, confirming his 1928 derivative naturalization. The path through Pietra is possible ...

Re: Claiming Italian Citizenship

It seems that you may have several possibilities. If you provide birth and naturalization dates, it will be easy to determine which path would work best.

Re: For those who obtained Italian citizenship - how is your middle name registered?

A legal name change only makes sense if you do it in the US before you submit an application for recognition. I was forced to do this because the name I was using all my life was spelled differently from the name on my birth certificate. I legally changed my name to the spelling I had been using ...

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?

I had a NYC birth certificate, a NYS birth certificate, and a NYC marriage certificate that needed apostilles. I sent all three to Albany at the same time and received them in fewer than two weeks (2019 pre-Covid)

Re: Citizenship- is this legit?

I don’t know about this specific company, but there are many organizations out there who will help you in your quest to obtain Italian citizenship IF YOU QUALIFY for recognition.

If you do indeed qualify, the odds are you can do it on your own without a company to assist you. You may need some help ...

Re: Negative reception of Jure Sanguinis in Italy

Your first mistake is reading social media. Your second mistake is assuming that what you read on social media is representative of what most Italians think.

Without question jure sanguinis that goes back many generations is controversial, and many Italians, including some working in the various ...

Re: New proceedings regarding Citizenship by descent after June 22nd 2022

There is no way to tell, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some variation from comune to comune. After a few decisions have been made, we will have a better idea.

Re: WOMEN MAIDEN NAME ON PASSPORT?

Just my opinion, but I think they will still automatically assign the father’s surname. The new law only allows parents to choose the child’s surname (father’s, mother’s, hyphenated combo), it does not address name changes after the birth certificate.
