Thank you, David. That's good to know!

Do you know if the translation have to be apostilled?

Curious to know if the translations have to be stapled to the corresponding documents ... or paper clipped?

Are affidavits from the translator required for EACH document, and if so, do these also have to be stapled to the translation and document?

If it helps, I am applying through the Boston ...

Hi all,

I am very close in completing my Dual Citizenship application.

I had a couple questions regarding taxes. If I obtain my Italian Dual Citizenship, live and work here in the US, do I have to file and/or owe taxes to Italy? If so, can anyone briefly describe/explain the process.

Thanks!

Hello,

What is the exact translation for the "UFFICIO DELLO STATO CIVILE"?

Thank you!

Hi Peg,

My father's birth certificate has to be amended. His mother's maiden name is spelled incorrectly.

Regarding the divorce documents, in Boston you need Absolute Decree, Judgement NISI AND the Agreement (this is the killer for translation). :cry:

I hope for your sake that NY does not ...

Hi Peg,

Great advice, thank you!

I had my meeting today. I'm very close, I just have to amend one document then submit all documents for Apostilles.

Regarding translations, the Consulate only needs the divorce documents translated. Unfortunately, this is 20 pages!

I made calls today to local ...

Thanks, Peter. I submitted an estimate request.

Do you, or anyone, know what's the criteria for a non-proffesional translation? Meaning, I have a friend who is a native speaker. Do these need to be formatted and notarized?

By the way, they are divorce documents.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any good, inexpensive and fast translators in the Boston area?

Thanks,
Luca

Gildone,

Do you think a certified letter from the court where Naturalization took place would work in replacement of the actual Certificate?

Hi David,

I do not have any experience with the SF consulate (someone may want to interject here), but from experience in Boston, you need a copy of the Naturalization Certificate or a letter from USCIS confirming his Naturalization on top of the records. OR maybe a letter from the court he ...

Thanks, Davidlatour. I missed typed my original post. I meant to refer to Naturalization Certificate, not "Records". I have all the certified records from the NARA (Arrival, Declaration, Intention, Oath) but they do not have Naturalization Certificates, which you need in most Consulates ...

Hi Peg,

As always, thank you for you help!

My appointment is with the Boston Consulate.

I will post my results after my visit.

Wish me luck on the birth dates!

Hi all,

I'm meeting with the Consulate on Tuesday to present all of my documents.

I found an error on the date of birth on his Declaration of Intention. It's only a month off:

Declaration Date: June 29, 1879
Birth Certificate: July 29, 1879

I know his birth certificate is correct as I confirmed ...

Great suggestion! I would like to know their reasons for these documents them before I submit such personal information.

I will be sure to post my findings!

Thanks again!

Luca

I am applying for Citizenship through my Paternal line.

Though I am over 18, my parents got divorced when I was 15. I believe my mother had physical custody while my father had joint custody.

Do you think this is an issue and if so, something they'll check into?
