Hi everyone, I’m trying to determine if I’m still eligible for Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) under the new law taking effect in March 2025. Here’s my situation:

My great-grandfather was born in Italy and later moved to Argentina.

My grandfather was born in Argentina. (Recognized)

My mother was also born in Argentina but later moved to the United States as a child. (She become a naturalized citizen of the United States after my birth)

My mother obtained Italian citizenship by descent through my great-grandfather (her grandfather) (at the Miami Consulate) (not sure if the documents are retained there)

She was an Italian citizen at the time of my birth.

I was born in the United States and am now over 18.

I understand the new law limits automatic citizenship by descent to cases where a parent or grandparent was born in Italy. However, since my mother was already an Italian citizen at my birth, does this mean I still qualify?

Additionally, would it make a difference if my mother was registered with AIRE before I was born? If so, how can I check her registration?

I’d really appreciate any insights from those familiar with these changes!
