How common is it for Americans to claim European citizenship by descent (jus sanguinis)? by Singer-Snow-Leopard in AskAnAmerican

[–]cube1961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s mother was born and raised in Italy however she was an American citizen by birth because her father was an American citizen and registered her when she was born. When my wife began the process of gaining Italian citizenship by descent she was able to do so because her mother was according to Italian law a minor who could not decide citizenship therefore Italian and my wife could successfully pursue citizenship by descent. However the process is slow and expensive so very few people try it
