    Default Do I Qualify for Italian Citizenship

    I'd like to get Italian citizenship, dual with my American citizenship based on descent. I've checked the requirements on the Italian Consulate Page and my particular case does not quite fit their list of requirements:

    5) Your paternal or maternal grandfather was born in the United States, your paternal great grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of his birth, neither you nor your father nor your grandfather ever renounced your right to Italian citizenship. (Please note: a grandmother born before 01/01/1948 can claim Italian citizenship only from her father and can transfer it only to children born after 01/01/1948.

    I was born after 1948. I am half Italian. In my particular case my maternal great-grandfather and grandmother remained in Italy. My maternal grandfather and grandmother immigrated to America and became citizens. My mother is a US citizen and so am I. Am I disqualified because my grandfather and grandmother renounced their Italian citizenship, or do I still qualify by virtue of my great grandparents having remained Italian citizens?

    Default Re: Do I Qualify for Italian Citizenship

    This is a U.S. board, which is why this forum describes itself as focusing on "Legal and practical issues in immigration to the United States". I suggest you try an Italian board, or an Italian lawyer.
