Oh calm down. It's not like you're stateless. Why do you even need an Italian passport if you aren't going to live in Italy? Jures sanguines citizenship is not the priority of the Italian consulates in the USA. Italian consulates are there to serve the consular needs of Italian citizens living ...

Angel25....it IS ridiculous! I have been helping a friend who is in the same situation as you, and Boston seems impossible. My Dad had his citizenship recognized in Boston in 2012, when Corrao was still the guy making appointments by phone, and back then you could get an appointment in 3-4 months ...

I am not sure I could get a lease because that is an official legal agreement specifying I pay rent. I wouldn't be able to get a lease from my relative because I wouldn't actually be living with my NY relative.

I don't know specifically what IDs they are now accepting, but it seems a tax return and photo ID may work. I don't think the passport is an issue because the passport is valid for 10 years, and the address on the passport is only the address you had when you applied for that passport. I've never ...

I calmed down a bit and now have a question.

I might have a way to get a New York State ID if that would be sufficient. I am sure I could convince one of my relatives to allow me to use their mailing address to file a Federal & NY Tax Return. In addition to my birth certificate and SS Card, I need ...

Are you 100% sure they would turn me away. Wouldn't they be somewhat understanding and be more understanding if I slipped them $200-$500 cash?

How could I establish residency in New York? I'm sure I could enroll in some cheap college in NYC with only one course and open a bank account to mail it ...

Would they accept cash bribes to ignore the proof of residence requirement?

It is 100% doom and gloom. Today I tried and every single appointment filled. Speed-Ninjas at typing entered every confirmation code faster and once again, got every single appointment.

I took a screenshot this time to prove what keeps happening when I go. I'll also bring some cash so if they try ...

It has gotten ridiculous. Every TIME I try and book an appointment for the past eight months the calendar at the Boston Consulate closes after the first 30 seconds. I tried four times today right at 4:00pm but people who are faster at typing entered the confirmation code and clicked enter before I ...

I just decided that I'll schedule an appointment at the New York Consulate if I am unable to get an appointment once I try again in September to get one at the Boston Consulate. I can't afford to go to Italy to meet a residency requirement and pay 5,000 Euros (not including the cost of a trip or ...

I was just upset that the cost of me applying goes by $10,000 because I'll have to go in person to Italy when I can't really afford that. After trying four months to schedule an appointment and not getting one, it doesn't look like I will ever be able to get an appointment at the Boston Consulate ...

The only way I'm probably ever going to be able to apply for my Citizenship to Italy, is putting $7,000 on credit card so I can somehow apply in Italy. If the Euro keeps going up, I'd probably max out a credit. Four months of trying, and two months they didn't even open their calendar, and today ...

I would ask the company providing the service to show you proof of satisfaction by providing a list of references that can vouch for them. By the way, you will save some with the Italian attorney but in 2011, he quoted a price for a relative of around $4,000 with an extra $800 for anyone else who ...

I too have read about services that promise citizenship within two weeks, but I don't understand how that would work.

As jennebet notes, official residency requires more than tourist status. Perhaps this service has some government "connections" at a specific comune that would allow one to ...

I talked to the lawyer Luigi Paiano and he said to contact him in 2018 because everything is booked this year.

The service that I might use that I contacted is http://www.getitaliancitizenship.com/but I still have questions to ask them. It will cost be about $7,000 USD on credit to afford a ...
