Sorry for being so late to respond, and hope you are safe. We found the record. Issue was he didn't get his birth registered until they needed to, and that wasn't until he was 19.

I got the birth record for Paolo Giorgi out of Palaia!!!

Just waiting on a couple of official documents out of Argentina and I am set.

We have copies of the documents in question. I think the issue is finding where they are. I will ask these questions to the lawyer. Thanks.

Anyone else have experience with this? I’m using an attorney there and the state of San Juan is sitting on the last two documents I need. It’s got me worried that I won’t get them.

Going to apply for citizenship via my great grandfather, Paolo Giorgi. Will be going through Philadelphia apparently.

What experiences have people had with this consulate?

Old postings but good news. We found Paolo Giorgi's birth record! Now for the rest of it....

I am trying to get my citizenship to Italy. Finding the last bit of paperwork and we should be good to go to apply.

But can my wife and daughter acquire citizenship through me later? If so, what is the process, and how hard is it? My wife is semifluent in Italian and my daughter is 6 months old.

OK. Thanks for that. Short periods meaning 2 weeks? 1 week? Etc.

Because the line was broken when my mom naturalized, I will have to live in Italy for a period of time. The question I have is this - does this mean I cannot leave Italy, or do I just establish residence there? How does this work? Do I have to stay in Italy and not leave for that whole period, even ...
