Did you check the local courts. My grandparents naturalized in the county where they lived. It took me almost a year to locate these documents through a genealogist.
Thank for sharing your experience in getting your citizenship. I have tried for more than 6 months trying to get an appointment at the Chicago consulate with no success. So, I will be going to Italy to file for citizenship as well. Still collecting documents though. ICA seems to have a very good reputation in the process.
@@randygulleyjr2180 thanks for watching. It is definitely a long process. Yours will be a different type of case then mine. Once you have the documents it shouldn't take long for you. Good luck!!
Hey Joe, my name is also Joe. I am currently waiting for the Consul in San Francisco to review my application for Juris Sanguinis. It took over 3 years to get the appointment and the consulate said it would take another 6 months to a year to receive a response. My application is pretty straightforward with a couple minor name and date discrepancy typos. My grandfather hadn't naturalized yet when my mom was born so hoping they will recognize my mom's inherited citizenship and subsequently mine. 🤞🏼🇮🇹 I recently retired and hoping to live part-time in Sicily. Been there several times. Headed back for a couple months in September. Thanks for posting. Your journey has required a lot of perseverance. 👍🏼 Hope it pays off in the end.
It’s a long process, my daughter had a lot of problems, I am an Italian citizen, everything had to be exact, they would not except Joseph as her fathers name where birth etc stated Giuseppe as our marriage certificate states Joseph etc she gave up after paying a lot , everything has to match, every little detail.
That stinks. Unfortunately you're right. It has to match. My lawyer had us sign something with all the aliases. To confirm it was all the same person. Maybe that would be an option for her.
Thank you for those videos, we are learning from the information you both provide. My husband and I will be in Sicily the following week and we are looking to purchase a place. This will be our first visit to Sicily, do you know if a person has to have a tax code in order to purchase a house? Thank you, Rita
Thanks for watching. Yes you have to have the tax code. We are going this week to the Agenzia entrate office to get my wifes. What part of Sicily are you looking?
Thank you very much for your reply. We are looking into Agrigento area or Cefalu. We will be in Sicily from 17-24 this month. We were told that the tax code can be obtained in the US from a consulate, or does it have to be obtained while in Italy?
Thank you very much for answering our questions. If we get a chance maybe me and my husband can meet you and your wife for a cup of coffee. Thank you again
I wish you luck with your grand adventure . Your story is interesting and you seem to be very pleasant people . I am 0 % Italian , an unfortunate accident of birth .
Hey, Joe, Nice to meet you and the Mrs. Wish you success in your 1948 case. I’ve learned so much from Marco & Rafael in their RUclips videos. My wife Liz and I are just starting our own 1948 journey to Sicily with ICA’s services. My great grandmother is from Castellammare Del Golfo. Ciao!
@@dianamartin9558 Hi, Mrs M, yes. But it’s more the idea than the plan right now. My wife fancy’s the Abruzzo region. I have a soft spot for Puglia. But my origins are in Sicily. We need to visit all these to decide. In the meantime, we wish you a safe landing. We’re subscribed to your channel and looking forward to watching your content in Italy blossom. -Sal & Liz
@@salvatoreemma we watched A Home in Italy for years and David had us almost buying there. But we both just felt drawn to Sicily. My should definitely go to all those areas and decide.
We have a lot in common! My great grandfather and great grandmother both came from Corleone and came into the United States through New Orleans. My grandmother was born in Piana di Albanesi and never became a US citizen. Therefore, I was able to become an Italian citizen. I have an appointment at the consulate in Los Angeles to get my passport on July, 8. We need to communicate a lot more!

I hope you get recognized soon. Just found out my lawyer said could be another 18 month😫

Yes , you can get at US consulate. Depending which one might take a while. I would invite you to look around Balestrate, Castellammare del golf area.

Lol. Thanks for following. Two kinds of people. Italians and those that wish they was Italian.
lol I’m not Italian but always felt I was! 10 years ago I met Joe and was super excited he was Italian!
Hey, Joe,
Nice to meet you and the Mrs. Wish you success in your 1948 case. I’ve learned so much from Marco & Rafael in their RUclips videos. My wife Liz and I are just starting our own 1948 journey to Sicily with ICA’s services. My great grandmother is from Castellammare Del Golfo. Ciao!
Hi Salvatore, good luck on your journey. We are moving to Balestrate in a few days. If you're in the area look us up.
Good luck. It’s so exciting. Do you plan on moving to Sicily?
