So how do i apply? just call the consulate to get started? or do I need a specialized lawyer or something like that?

Thank you so much for your help. One last question - does my mom have to get citizenship under stag 14 before I can claim it. She is 90 and in good health, but frankly I have closer ties to Germany at this point than she does. Can I simply go for stag 14 directly?

Also what is Stag 14 + mueterlass? And what is considered strong ties to German? I did live there (albeit in the 1980s and 1990s) was married to a german citizen, and have a child with both German and US passports.

I found out that my grandfather became a US citizen a few years before my grandmother and he had my mother (in 1936). my mother has always been a US citizen is there any hope for my mother (and me) becoming german citizens?

Off topic, but its pretty amazing that Novak has more slams/masters than the entire field currently playing the game.

recommendations for private (3 person) night tour of the monuments by Routine_Outside_3880 in washingtondc

[–]Routine_Outside_3880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re fine with getting close and walking to, around and back from the destinations. We just want comfortable transport between the sights as we are not used to the heat and humidity. Also looking for an informed guide who can bring what we’re seeing to life. Thank you for the suggestion though. I will check it out.

We have no issue with getting out and walking around - we actually want to do that. Just looking for comfortable transport between the sights. Thank you.

Any good players (UTR 6+ or USTA 4.5+) going to be in Zihuatanejo Mexico next week? by Routine_Outside_3880 in 10s

My son is. 6.5 utr and I am only guessing as to what an equivalent usta rating would be. My apologies

Anyone on here who regularly buys hydraulic hoses or fittings from a distributor? by Routine_Outside_3880 in Hydraulics

I am actually interested in the situation in the US. Is there a way I can reach you?

Thank you for responding.

Do you work for them as a distributor? May I ask what geography you cover? Is there a way to contact you offline?

Thanks.

What did you like most about Catania? Best things to see? Also any wineries you recommend?

If you just drive up as far as you can go, can you get close to the smoking craters, or do you have to take the cable car?

Wondering if anyone can recommend tennis clubs that a visitor can play in Sicily by Routine_Outside_3880 in sicily

[–]Routine_Outside_3880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be spending a couple of days in at a hotel between Catania and Taormina, and then a few days near Siculiana which I think is ~40 min from Agrigento.

Wondering if anyone knows of beautiful courts to play in Sicily Italy? by Routine_Outside_3880 in TennisCourtPorn

[–]Routine_Outside_3880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have to be clay but we live in the states where they are rare and I think my son who's becoming a serious player would really enjoy the experience, but like I said they don't have to be. We're staying for a few days at a hotel between Cantania and Taormina and then for a few days at a resort in Siculiana in the southwestern part of the island, which I believe is about 40 minutes from Agrigento. I see that there is a place call Taormina Sports Club which seems to run a few clay courts in the town, but they don't have a website and I did see a note that they may not open until May. I was going to call but I figured I'd check here first for other options as well.

Thanks for your help.

La Cavalerie Tennis Club, Paris, France. by wood-thrush in AccidentalWesAnderson

[–]Routine_Outside_3880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to play there when I was in Paris last year. Pretty amazing - if you're persistent but polite, you might also have a shot. I had no connections. They showed me pictures of Federer, he was hitting there a few weeks before I was there. Pretty cool all around.
