1948 Case with Luigi Paiano

[afecad]

Wow! 20 years, I'm nearly three years into my 1948 case with ICA, and all documents are being translated and apostilled. I hope the case is filed in the courts soon. If all goes well this may take 5 to 6 years total, hopefully not 20! I'm a little concerned with the new law regarding court locations outside of Rome, mine is going to be in Catanzaro.

How long did it take you to get an appointment with your nearest Consulate? I'm looking at SF or LA, and some say it takes a long time, but others I spoke with said otherwise.

It seems that the local courts haven't really introduced any major change in the ratio of favorable to unfavorable rulings. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I've had my Italian passport for 3 months now - the entire process was pretty smooth for me - the worst part without question was correcting my deceased ancestor's birth record with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Congrats! Have you used it, what are your plans? Moving to the EU?

How long did the court case take from being filed to the verdict? Did you have to appeal?
 
My biggest delay, aside from the pandemic, was all the misspellings and corrections. That alone took the bulk of the time, upwards of a nearly a year to get my own birth certificate corrected. ICA has been good but the translations and apostille process has been slow. ICA said a year after filing for the verdict, if an appeal another year thereafter, but these were based on the older rule.

Hello, we are doing our case through Luigi as well. Our hearing was October 16, 2023 and we still do not have any decision its been over 4 months. Has anyone else waited this long? We were told it would take less than 4 months. It looks like they also switched judges sometime in January. thank you.
