going back to US... i am not really happy about it... i thought if i tried hard enough, that things would go well here.
but i overstayed my welcome far longer than i should have.. i will try again to earn citizenship before i try coming back..
it was my mistake. i was stupid and naive.
i would not know.. i would have to find out and talk to people, but if i do not find what you mean, i would rather not be in the center of it all to be arrested or fined... i will see what i can do, or find out.
March 2025, laws restricting automatic citizenship by descent to applicants with parents, or grandparents, born in Italy, or requiring proof of two years' residency in Italy by the parent before the child's birth.
it also says my parents would have had to tell italian consulate of my birth. for it to be so. i dont think my dad did.
i will need papers and things my mother has, and we are not on speaking terms.. so i will have to do things on my own.
my father passed when i was little and I cant recall if he spoke of anything in italy. and i had no luck ever finding relatives while i was out here.
im sure my mother would have something, I will have to see if I can dig through dads old things. most likely she threw a lot of it out..
i will need to make lots of phone calls to see every and all options i am able..
Theoretically, you might qualify then. As you are direct descendant (descendente di primo grado) through your father. So, as long as he never acquired American citizenship, you would be directly eligible.
