the documents have been
received by the Consulate, the applicant will receive a letter from the Italian
government officially confirming his/her Italian citizenship.
In considering the
eligibility
requirements, it is also
important to remember the law of
1948, mentioned
earlier. If the applicant doesn’t meet
the qualifications
because of the law
prohibiting women
from passing citizenship to children
born before 1948,
the applicant may
still apply judicially
for citizenship before the Civil Court in
Italy.
For your work, you
spend time either
in the US and in
Italy … is this fundamental for this job, or
you do it just because
you love the two best
countries in the world?
as you said, they are the
most beautiful countries
in the world and we are
lucky enough to be able
spend time in both while
working. That being said,
when we are in Italy we
have the chance to go in
the appointments of our
clients at the Italian Consulates and meet the consular officers, thus improving our knowledge of the
entire process.
Which are the most frequently
asked
questions about
this topic?
The main questions that clients
pose to us when
initiating the citizenship process
are with regard to
possible military
service in Italy,
taxation, and the
effect of Italian citizenship on U.S.
citizenship. To answer those questions, we confirm
that there is no
longer mandatory
military service in
Italy; you pay taxes in Italy only if
you live and work
there for more than 180
days in a calendar year;
and that recognition of
Italian citizenship has no
effect on American citizenship.
