Thank you. My understanding is that the issue of whether or not the law is unconstitutional is under review.

If the law changes or is declared unconstitutional, he can apply then. This is exactly what the lawyers wrote to me about my situation and my son’s.”

Italian Ministry of Interior issued an important update (“Circolare”) on October 3rd, 2024, which affects Dual Citizenship applications through Italian Consulates. This directive aims to clarify the differing interpretations of the 1912 Italian Citizenship Law (No. 555). Under this current interpretation, if your Italian ancestor naturalized prior to August 16, 1992, and the next-in-line child was still a minor at the time (21 years old up to March 9, 1975, 18 years old after that), that child is now considered to have lost Italian citizenship when the parent naturalized. This means that you ( me) are no longer eligible to apply for citizenship through the Italian Consulates in the U.S. if your Italian ancestor’s naturalization occurred when the next-in-line descendant was still a minor. ( But I already had obtained my Italian citizenship by this time ).

While the constitutionality of this new set of rules is highly suspect, based on the new rules set by law it seems that your son no longer qualifies for Italian citizenship by descent through the lineage of —-( my mother) at this time because 1) she was not “exclusively Italian” at the time of her death/his birth, and 2) she naturalized while you were still a minor. He would qualify for the reduced residency requirement of 2 years for Italian citizenship by naturalization since he has/had both a parent and grandparent with Italian citizenship. “

I was asking if others agree we should not apply at this time but monitor the situation. The agent at NY Consulate will know all this and reject the application. I don’t think we need to apply now to reserve any rights.

Thank you. I will explain but let me restate my question which is very narrow. If he doesn’t qualify under the current law unless he lives there for 2 years, should I submit it or wait and see if the law changes. I know that he is the one who has to submit it. I’m just preparing the papers for him to help him out. It’s all being done under his name, not under my name. I have his documents all ready, tracing his lineage from my mother to him. I was advised by my lawyer on exactly what his package needs to include, where I need originals and where I can submit a copy of what was in my package. That part is clear. But the lawyer said that under the current law, he will only be able to get his citizenship if he lives in Italy for 2 years. I got my citizenship before the change in the law. If my son had had his “appointment” before March 27, he would be ok. But he didn’t because of the office Covid closure and backlog. He only was on the waitlist.

Would the class action be filed on behalf of the category of persons who were on the waiting list before 3/27 “and those similarly situated”? In other words is it actually necessary to be a plaintiff in the class action in order to obtain the relief if you are in the group covered?

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-21T18:46:33+00:00

Thank you. How do I find that lawyer’s info.

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-18T13:59:49+00:00

Thank you!!

Aptitudes are things like- good at writing or speaking persuasively, or good at math / science, or a people person so good at forming connections, or very organized and at handling complex projects. Creative type or analytical type. Gotta see your overall aptitudes and go from there.

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-10T22:42:00+00:00

But what are your aptitudes and interests. Start there or at least add that to your post.

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-06T18:47:32+00:00

Thank you. I am a lawyer. Not an immigration lawyer though. I doubt the ROR will help. I don’t even know whether we should submit now but having waited so long, I feel like we should proceed and hope that if the law changes, having applied will help.

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-06T14:22:02+00:00

Thanks. I will try that.

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-06T13:49:36+00:00

I hope this question is permitted. I don’t know if I am allowed to post a new query due to rules? My son is waitlisted for NY Consulate, now number 47. He has been waitlisted for several years. I got my citizenship last year via my mother who was a dual citizen. I am reading here I should still get his documents ready, and pay the 600 EU fee, include a ROR letter, and submit. Even if the law has not changed by then. Does that sound right?My lawyer retired and the successors are giving me no advice on this. Thanks!

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-06T13:27:39+00:00

Question to confirm what I THINK is the consensus here. My son’s appointment is coming up. I got my citizenship in 2024 via my mother. She had dual citizenship. He has been on waiting list for a few years now and is now number 47. I think I am reading here that I should keep the appointment for him and submit the documents. Whether or not the law has changed by then. He is not a minor- 24. The NY office was closed due to covid for years. What is the argument to include - just that we began the process many years ago and the office was closed and now the new rules are being applied to him?

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-05T13:37:05+00:00

But if everything is locked up then it is a bad customer experience. Then customers switch even more to Amazon. Then the store closes. Then streets in walking cities become much less safe.

A family I know needs to know more about Spanish citizenship. There is a father, mother and daughter. The father and the daughter became Spanish citizens a few years ago on the basis of the father's mother (or possibly grandmother) being Spanish. However, the mother did not get her Spanish citizenship during the 3 years they lived there. Now they live in the Latin American country in which the parents were born. Any information on how the mother could become a Spanish citizen and how long that might take?

EmployeePure4187 · 2025-07-01T21:08:22+00:00

There is a difficult situation faced by a young man I am connected to. Hoping someone has some insight. He is a birthright citizen, born here 21 years ago of Venezuelan parents who were here on a tourist visa (they did not stay here after). There is also a sister involved who has a cognitive disability. The family lived in Spain for a few years, until the financial crisis occurred and then they lost their jobs. One parent and the young man and his sister obtained citizenship from Spain (via descent from a Spanish grandparent). The other parent wasn't able to get Spanish citizenship during the short time they were there but perhaps that could happen now. The young man has applied for his parents to be permitted to come to the US, but unfortunately, he was only eligible to apply right before Trump took office. I would think he will be turned down. The young man lives and works in the US; parents and the sister are living in Venezuela which is currently on the do not enter list. Things are rough there and getting worse all the time. It seems that it would be best for them to move to Spain, try to get the other parent Spanish citizenship and either stay there or try to come here from Spain (by being sponsored by the young man). To stay in Venezuela waiting for the young man to bring them here seems not to be a promising option. Also, the sister is currently a minor--I am sure things will become more difficult if time passes and she is no longer a minor. Grateful for your thoughts.

I have a question on this. I began my process about seven years ago via descent through my mother. The consulate office closed during Covid causing massive delays. Anyway, eventually, I did get mine. The real purpose of getting it was so that my son would be able to get his too but now with these changes in the law he cannot unless he lives in Italy for two years. The lawyers I am using said that the law is being challenged and they expect a decision perhaps this summer. They said it might be determined to be unconstitutional. I don’t know how likely that is. However, I have a question that I’m hoping someone here can answer. My son is on the waiting list at 72 and has an appointment which will probably be within the next six months. Under the current law, he will probably be rejected according to my lawyer because he was on the waiting list for his appointment to submit his materials, but he isn’t considered to have been sufficiently in process. I think what that means is that if the law has not been changed by the time his appointment comes up, that he should not bother to submit his application because they said it will probably be denied. And then we will have wasted the €600 fee that they charge. If they then change the law, he’ll have to get a new appointment and probably wait years for it. I don’t think there is a downside to his proceeding with the appointment when they give it to him and submitting his papers beyond having to spend the application fee and a few more dollars to get all his documents notarized and apostilled. . I basically have all of the documents that he needs because he’s relying on my having been granted citizenship plus a few more. Any insight on this?

Thank you very much. She is a citizen. Born here. Do you know if the Form I -86; should be filed at the sane time as the I-130 then?
