What happens after the consulate forwards your documents to your comune? Does the comune just need to enter your information into some register? Or does the process depend on the central government? The reason I ask is that I just found out that I have a cousin working at the city hall office in my ...

For anyone who has gotten their citizenship recognized and moved to Italy, or been in regular contact with native-born Italians, how did they typically regard you? Were you welcomed as one of the group, or did they generally treat you as though you aren't a "real" Italian?

After Italian citizenship has been recognized and registered, I read that in order to get a passport it is necessary to physically appear at an Italian consulate because of the biometrics. Can it be any consulate anywhere in the world or does it have to be in the country in which you are currently ...

Of course it's highly unlikely that any changes would be applied retroactively to existing citizens. But given the current budgetary situation it seems plausible that they might take actions to further restrict eligibility for future cases if they discover that the newly-recognized Italians have ...

You just need to send them a letter, make sure you put your case number on it and include a copy of that letter you received.

What rules exactly are changing?

The scenario you described, GM -> M -> You, is fine according to the current rules as long as your mother was born after 1948. Are you saying the rules are changing that women could pass on citizenship to children born before 1948?

My appointment at the SF consulate is scheduled one week from tomorrow but I'm missing one last document, specifically the USCIS non-naturalization certification (I sent the request about 2 months ago, so I'm hoping for the reply any day now). What should I do? Do the consulates usually let you ...

I'm trying to prove no naturalization of my ancestor, so I ordered a 1940 census report (the census after his son was born). The citizenship (of foreign born) field is totally blank. Will this be acceptable for my case (in that he isn't listed as naturalized), or is it useless since it is blank?

Does anyone know if the Detroit consulate requires census reports for cases in which the Italian ancestor was never naturalized?

Grazie mille!

What is the significance of the first line, "Estratti della partito di 40... "
"Extracts from the party of 40"? What does the 40 refer to??

And they require you to be in the ONE country for 330 days a year to qualify for the exemption. So, if you work for six months in Italy, then travel Europe, the IRS has the ability to not allow the exemption. If there is one thing about american law, it is that usually common sense does not ...

the US is the only country I am aware of that taxes you no matter what, with very few exceptions.

Well, US citizens do have to file a tax return every year no matter where they live, but unless you make more than the tax exemption limit ($92,200 for 2011) you do not have to pay any taxes. So ...

bump..... anyone have any ideas about this? It might not be something like a birth or death record, but I'd really like to know if there might be some sort of important clue here if anyone can read it.

My ancestor passed through a 3rd country on the way to the US. As a precautionary measure, I have obtained certification of no naturalization from that country so that there will be no doubt that he was still an Italian citizen when his children were born. Do I need to have it translated into ...

Having a hard time trying to read most of this, any ideas?
