So you are saying that she needs to get her birth certificate, possibly her dad's, then her parents marriage certificate get translation and apostile then make the appointment (or make it before since it takes 2 years to get an appt) and then hand in with my folder? I understand that now the consulate doesnt want people in their office so you just have to mail papers in the day of your appointment and they will notify you within 24 months with status. I know this because my youngest daugther has April 2021 appt and read this on their website. Do you know for sure my neice can just jump her dad and file under the papers that I have with the consulate or are you assuming this. Great news if you are sure
I have dual citizenship as well as my children and grandchildren but my niece, my brother's daughter, wants to apply but my brother has no interest. Can she apply for dual and skip over her father? Her grandmother was an Italian citizen when her father was born. I have all the necessary papers she needs to apply. The papers are at the Italian consulate in NY. My children just had to hand in their papers and the consulate just added them to my file. Can my niece just add her file to mine since she is getting it through my mother just adding her birth certificate as well as her parents marriage certificate or does she have to file the papers all over again as I did?
I had the same story and my dad was considered American On his immigration papers its states date of citizenship which is listed as his date of birth. When I obtained my dual citizenship through my mother I was told that my dad "qualified" for Italian citizenship if he wanted. At that point my dad passed away and would have been 90 years old. He came here on an Italian passport before he turned 21 in 1947 so yes its confusing but answering your question I believe your grandfather was considered American if he came to the USA before he was 21 years old
