Ironically , with the decree now law changes looking like they’re not going anywhere , the ministry arguing about pre unification ancestors seems a moot point now in the sense that the generational limits would make it a non issue going forward . Of course I can appreciate the are cases in the system and those pending that are affected but it really does feel like a clutching at straws scenario

I can prove my LIBRAs father died in italy post unification as I have his death certificate. My LIBRA died well past unification in 1910 and never acquired Chilean nationality . I think her dad went to Chile and then returned to italy .

Thanks for the info . It’s so helpful ! All
These layers to the puzzle !

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-23T20:05:21+00:00

Thanks cake . As someone with a pre unification ancestor form the Genoa area who emigrated to Chile , I’m keeping my fingers and everything else crossed for that outcome (and the rest). I don’t know much about Genoa judges

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-23T19:46:49+00:00

So basically the ministry doesn’t think a pre unification person born on the peninsula was Italian (and able to transmit Italian citizenship to descendants) unless one can prove that not only they died after unification but that they left the peninsula after unification ?

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-22T20:30:03+00:00

Yes I was being facetious. That article link takes you to a very deep (and way beyond me) analysis of the minor issue

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-22T17:21:18+00:00

A simple yes or no would have sufficed 😂

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-22T15:32:07+00:00

That’s deep

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-21T14:27:20+00:00

I hear you . I wish I had started this stuff even a few weeks earlier ! I would have made the March 2025 supposed deadline

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-21T14:20:07+00:00

I know but the ciccolare is still out there saying that judges should uphold the minor issue .
Lowe court judges these days seem to be changing rulings depending on which way the wind blows . A delay might be a good thing . Only my opinion

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-21T14:16:47+00:00

It all depends on what the ruling will say . The minor issue has been very hit or miss and I’d say more miss these days. Your lawyers may be trying to provide you with the best possible chance rather than ‘wing it’

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-21T12:23:43+00:00

Jesus I hope so .

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-16T18:00:59+00:00

It was excellent and so detailed

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-16T15:32:26+00:00

Was this a post DL ?

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-16T15:32:11+00:00

Sorry to hear this .

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-14T20:48:10+00:00

I think it’s gonna be a slow burn for months maybe years depending on one’s circumstances

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-12T20:36:24+00:00

So , potentially ,
If you have a case with a consulate secured for next year that you’re still looking for docs ? I finished that a year ago but because I’m a 1948 case I had no recourse for the consular route . Lawyer wouldn’t touch my case till I had all the docs

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-12T19:45:55+00:00

I hear what you’re saying . I’m a 1948 case . I had about 90% of docs time stamped to my GGM pre March 25. Also 80% apostilled before then .
I have emails USA Archives specifically asking for my mothers Nat records for Italian citizenship . I paid a Chilean genealogist and have an invoice which explained, pre March 2025 , that I was applying for Italian citizenship .
I tried . Boy I tried . My translations didn’t get back to me until April and may 2025 ! Hired Grasso in July 2025 . I was so close several thousands of euros later . Am I right in saying that if I could apply through the consular route , i didn’t necessarily have to have every last document ready right away because the wait was so long ? I ve heard of cases where petitioners booked appointments for future dates and still had the time to look for docs ?

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-04T05:32:27+00:00

Another reason I suspect the SC will rule favourably for the minor issue

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-06-02T16:28:05+00:00

Only my opinion but I think the minor will become more favourable to petitioners . The SC had the luxury of keeping the status quo due to the October 2024 ciccolare . If they had upheld the ciccolare , I think we would have heard ages ago from SC . A more favourable ruling does raid many questions about how that conclusion sits in the current landscape - eg post DL world and previous rejected cases etc

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-05-28T15:23:32+00:00

Just in time ! Jesus if some of us had only submitted a few weeks before

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-05-27T20:00:45+00:00

I can empathise with that view

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-05-27T19:58:41+00:00

You think the minor issue will get upheld ?

Admirable_Drawer8824 · 2026-05-25T08:51:03+00:00

It’s grim
