If an Italian woman married a foreigner in Italy, not in another country, did she also lose her citizenship in the same way a woman who married a foreigner abroad did? Also, under the UK law at the time, would she have automatically become a British citizen if she married an Englishman outside of the UK?

How about I give Ah Boost $$$. ?

Am I allowed to stay in Italy while waiting for the process?

Quick question. My italian ancestor is my great-great-great grandfather. According to the proposal am I likely to have to reside in Italy and speak italian b1? Or is it only after than the great-great-great grandfather?

The language part is understandable; the residency portion seems prohibitive.

It's interesting that they want to tighten requirements for Italians by blood but have no intention to stop people just showing up by boat.

I am first generation Australian born, Both my parents were born in Italy and have never taken an Australian citizenship, does this mean it would be easy for me to get an Italian Citizenship by Descent

Hi, i am from the UK but my grandmother was Italian and moved to the UK in 1957, never renounced her citizenship, died in 1969 and returned to be buried in Italy. All of her children including my mother were born after 1948. Now the fact that my grandmother is buried in her birth place, does this effect the efficency of the process? Grazie

Thanks for your video. In your content I have gotten a lot of information. 😊

Thank you for the info! On my mother’s side my 2nd great grandparents were both born in Italy and came to the US. It’s unknown who naturalized (if they did or not) but would I qualify for citizenship by decent?

It took me 5 months of trying all hours of the day and night. I was so shocked I got passed the page to make an appointment. I found out that I am 7,548 on a waiting list in NYC. I was told not to cancel myself on the wait list. If I move out of NJ and go to another state in the US am I supposed to keep my appointment in NYC or try and get another appointment in the state I move too? Or am I allowed to fly to NYC from the new state? Im not sure what I am doing now. I may move in the US and wait or move to Italy and do it there. In the meantime I am trying to learn how to speak Italian. Mine is a simple case GF, F, Me.

What about if the minor was born in Italy and not abroad?

Great postings, Marco. Mille grazie. My application is currently being reviewed by the San Francisco Consulate after waiting 3 years for an appointment and then submission of my documents this April. I was under the impression that my case was very straightforward, but since my US born mother was just under 5 years old when her father (my maternal grandfather) naturalized, it appears mine may be considered a minor case. As none of my research over the past 3 years yielded any references to this "minor case" scenario as a potential obstacle, this is all news to me. All of the examples you are providing relate to the Italian courts. Do you have any insights as to the differences in the consulate process vs. the tribunali process? Is this worth your and my time to do a consultation or should I just wait for the consuls response? I was advised in early April that the Consul would review my case and advise within 6mo-1yr. Thoughts?

My father was italian and I would like to know if you can help me qith the process ?

Thank you for having one of the most concise videos in regards to citizenship.

Really good information and great news!

What happened to this legislation? Was it tabled or is it still under consideration?

Thank you so much for your videos! You explain the issues and the possible ways for resolution, so well! 👏

How do you need to document lack of appointments/denial of justice? Do you need to take screenshots of trying to book an appointment for two years or what is the minimum amount of time before going to the courts? Thanks

Is this likely to pass? If so when? Does a felony in the U.S. disqualify one from Italian citizenship by decent?

Wonderful information -- do you have a sense as to the general success rate of 1948 cases?

Intro is too long :)

My Father was born in Italy and immigrated when he was 6 yrs old. When in his 20’s he naturalized in the USA. Does this make me ineligible for Italian citizenship? It was way before 1990’s… can I go through my Italian Grandfather?

The Italian government shouldn’t be so picky, last I checked they’ve been losing citizens to other countries and have a declining birth rate.

What’s better , a minor case or 1948?

Thanks

I obtained dual citizenship but was told that I needed to be a resident of Italy to receive healthcare. Is this incorrect?

When is Italy looking at passing this?

how is this possible,there are so many different dialects in Italy.

Im 32 and im applying for my italian citizenship due to iure sanguinis. As long as i know only guys from 18 - 21 yo can join, do you think if there is a chance for me? Thanks!

I am not in full agreement with this proposed legislation because it attempts to change the legal concept of citizenship “de jure sanguinis.” Italian descendants are not applying for citizenship, in which case parliament can legislate requirements, but recognition of Italian citizenship already acquired by current Italian law .This being said, there is merit to the concept of a cultural connection to Italy Including language skills, knowledge of Italian history and current events. However, a cultural connection is very different from the legal concept of citizenship.

With my 22,000 in social security plus 350,000 in my retirement 401k would the retirement qualify as passive income?

Any updates for this? I'm halfway through the process of gathering documents now

Does this law count if the female ancestor was from a foreign country and automatically acquired the Italian citizenship by marrying an Italian before 1983?

Great video. How do we prove that we have tried to get an appointment (Toronto in our case and about a year now)

To clarify, did the Bari case have the minor issue? Also, when was it heard? Are there any more recent minor cases won in Bari?

My father got Italian citizenship after I turned 18, so i want to know if it’s possible for me get citizenship after this and getting a lawyer would be any help in this case?

It should be impossible to apply for Italian citizenship if you don't live in Italy!!!

Are you aware of any successful 1948 cases that involve a minor ancestor? Or if not, do you have any concern that they would be less successful due to the additional barrier?

I'm trying to get the Italian citizenship by descent correct. Please some help: My great-grandfather was born in Sicily in 1892 and came to America in 1910. He wasn't naturalized. He married another unnaturalized Italian in 1915 and gave birth to my grandfather in 1918. My grandfather married an Italian descent American and gave birth in 1944 to my mother (an only child). My mother was impregnated by an Italian man but they never married, and his name wasn't put on my birth certificate. Based on this narrative, might I be eligible to be an Italian citizen by descent? Thank you!

Nice case studies. I just found your videos. My court would be in Palermo. How long does it take to get a hearing after filing the 1948 case? Do judges make decisions on the same day? Thank you!

What would happen if on the same citizenship application, there are cousins who are both 3 and 4 generations removed? What if 1 person on the application passes the language tests, but the others don't?

Looking forward to our case being heard in January 2025 (8 applicants) - 1948 rule. Marco has been amazing to deal with

Does the residency requirement include great-great grandparents?

Hello. I applied for an Italian citizenship about 30 years ago but never got a passport and I don’t remember receiving a confirmation. Is there anyway to check if I am an Italian citizen now?

Thank you for the update. 🙏

Requiring residency for citizenship by descent for anything past 3 generations is no longer citizenship by descent, but citizenship by residency. It would basically be doing after with citizenship by descent for anything past your great grandfather.

So it’s like you mean if the Italian citizen ancestor If he got another country naturalised after 1912 and child is in minor then will affect the citizenship as I am correct ?
