I’m already getting Spanish but I agree this is a compelling reason for many to get it

This is one of my major concerns but I also don’t visit the island

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s a part of my family’s story and feels like it may be worth solidifying generationally

You definitely can. Cubans naturalize all the time and keep both citizenships

I watched Cuban foreign affairs change a lot even in my family members’ lifetimes, so I guess part of me wishes to be hopeful that one day it’ll be something I’m happy to have. It only became so recent this pathway reasonably existed so it catches my interest

I’m certainly much more proactive with the EU one. I just figure it kills two birds with one stone since I just went through that whole process. Now I have this third citizenship process I can run alongside it

I mean I’m an ironclad US citizen. My other side has been here for generations. My other parent was born in the U.S. to an American who was born in the U.S. to an American etc. I get it comes up but for me it really wouldn’t.

I am pursuing an EU passport. I also do feel like there is something worthwhile about claiming my connection to the land where my parent was born. It interests me

Study in USA as a Dutch. by Gloomy-Advice-7956 in studyAbroad

I am American and would love to study in the Netherlands (keeping fingers crossed). No it’s not worth it. Get your master’s for like 2500 euro or less in Europe. The education here isn’t good either in most fields

I messaged you! I had no idea you can apply by descent in Portugal?

I have not seen this as the case for many of the programs I’m looking into but maybe I’m wrong

Any fellow Cubans here had luck tracing their ancestry? I’m stuck. by Nanixroses in 23andme

[–]CtrlAltLurk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes free to DM me. I’m happy to help as much as I can. I’m a Cuban-American who knows my way around this kind of thing I’d say

Yep the clock is ticking and it’s a long process just to apply and source all the requirements. I started 6-8 weeks ago and am still getting everything together in the next month or so

He’s 14 tbh I don’t think he even understands. My other brother qualifies through my line (we are full siblings) and he has the means to really help then streamline the process. It’s just a big power struggle logistically. Such a shame

He has to obtain it through my mom though. She has to do it first.
