6 weeks for your companion is astonishing, even 6 months is quite good. I'm hoping to start a university course at the beginning of 2018, and I told them that if I am not recognized before then I would have to delay my studies because I would be considered an international student and would be ...

I had my jure sanguinis appointment at the Chicago Consulate a month ago. It went very well and I was told by the consular officer that I could expect to wait about a year until I receive the letter of formal recognition and can then apply for my Italian passport. Another officer told me it would be ...

Oh I see, so you just presented the microfiche at your consulate appointment? How exactly did NARA certify the microfiche, with an attached certificate? I live in Denver and there's a NARA branch, I will call to see if they can do the same for me. I have the microfilm and roll number. Thank you ...

His brother was well ...

He was single at this point, he married my great-grandmother in 1906 in Denver. I have the marriage certificate.

And I had a closer look at the Petition after I replied to you last night, and he declares himself to be 21 years old, so you were right that he needed to be a legal adult to apply. He ...

Thank you Mler for your response,
You've raised some very good points. I have his census records for both 1900 and 1910, he was listed as an Alien in 1900 but as a Naturalized citizen in 1910. So he was naturalized at some point in those 10 years, which I'm hoping makes it all the more reasonable ...

Hello,
Anyone with the knowledge to help, I would greatly appreciate some advice! I have a citizenship iure sanguinis appointment in Chicago, which crucially hangs on the fact that my great-grandfather was a minor under Italian law when he naturalized as an American citizen. Therefore he never lost ...
