This is just an opinion, but if your GF is in your direct line, you need to have something to offer the consulate in Houston. Do you have an official baptismal certificate? Since you already have an attorney, why not attempt to have the state of TX create a delayed birth record based on the record t...

Since you will NEVER find the name "Cristino" (or any variation thereof such as Cristian, Cristianello, Cristo, etc.) in Italy spelled with the letter "h" inserted, you do NOT have a problem and I wouldn't change anything. With all due respect, just because a certain letter does...

I have a similar issue in that all of my GGF's documents have Italian spelling of last name Cristino, and my GF and the rest of us have American spelling Christino. I corrected my GF's D.C. to add his father's last name with Italian spelling. I'm hoping you are right and I also feel that they reall...

Wishing you the best at your appointment!

Is your GM in your direct line? If not, then don't worry about it. If so, then given the fact that you will be applying in NYC, you may have a problem. Have you done any reading on what others have posted about their experiences applying in NYC? They are one of the more difficult consulates to deal ...

I don't believe that Georgia is covered by the embassy in DC - the areas they cover are fairly small compared to the other consulates. (Maybe only one or two counties in nearby Virginia, DC proper, and I'm not even sure about MD. You may want to check on Miami's area of jurisdiction, as it seems lik...

Bravo! Complimenti!

When you applied in Italy did you hire a lawyer or do it yourself? My Italian is NOT fluent. I had been living in Italy for 8+ years when I submitted my application, and didn't feel that I required the assistance of an attorney. I would think that if you had a friend or acqaintance that spoke Itali...

Hopefully someone with recent experience will respond to your questions. In the meantime, you could confirm the translation requirements for both Boston and NY by searching on their respective websites. Unless the consulate specifies that you must choose someone from their own list of approved trans...

Well then, please give us an example of how this is so -- leaving out information which pertains to foreign students and EU citizens from other EU countries, as you seem to confuse these categories with Italian-Americans, Italian-Canadians, etc. who are seeking ITALIAN citizenship. Remember, this I...

When living with their parents, they held residence in the same Comune as the parents. When they got married and moved to other cities in Italy or anywhere else in the European Union, they held residence in that city ONLY unless they personally maintained a home/apartment in the previous place of r...

I know a number of Italians who are resident in one Italian comune but who choose to live in another. I also know several Italians who have residency in Italy, but who live and work in Brussels. The fact that tax implications were mentioned in response to the original question was for the purpose of...

Just want to add that not only does the consulate review your documents, but they make the decision about your actual recognition - not Rome, nor the comune in Italy. Once your documents have been reviewed/approved, they are sent on to the comune in Italy. This is done electronically or via post. Th...

To obtain official residency , you must register as a resident in an Italian comune. To register as a resident, you would provide proof to the comune that you are actually living in an apartment, house, room - whatever is considered your home. A registered rental contract, proof of home ownership, e...

Well, I can offer an opinion, but I'm not sure it's worth very much! If it were me, I wouldn't add the middle name to the American documents, because you want to have as many documents as possible that match, and you can't change naturalization documents. What's in your favor, is that you have an It...
