I have everything as follows:
My birth record to my parents
Their marriage certificate
My mom's birth certificate
Her parents marriage certificate
My grandfather's birth record
His father's baptism record & marriage certificate
Am I missing anything? I think I have everything. Don't know what else I would need, Please advise. I can probably get it.
Lawyer says I'm fine with what I have but reading about a lot of negative experiences lately so worried.
Would be going through Philadelphia consulate, if that matters.

If your great-grandfather is the ancestor born in Italy, you would need his birth certificate and not his baptism certificate. And also his marriage certificate.

Yeah I should have said birth certificate sorry. I've got the official document from Palaia.
He was Italian. I have his marriage certificate.
He was Italian. I have his marriage certificate.
Re: Documentation in Hand - Missing Anything?
Your case will be rejected without the birth certificate of the ancestor born in Italy. What do you mean by the official document from Palaia? The only document that proves your ancestor was Italian is his birth certificate showing the names of his parents who also must be Italian. A marriage certificate does not prove he's Italian.

I have his birth certificate in Italy from Palaia.
