Could my mom and I qualify for Italian citizenship by descent in this situation?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to figure out whether my family might qualify for Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), especially after the recent changes to the law.
Here’s my situation:
My great-grandfather was an Italian citizen.
My mom has not applied for Italian citizenship yet.
I was wondering if my mom could first apply and be recognized as an Italian citizen, and then if I could apply afterward through her.
I know there are a lot of factors that matter, like when my great-grandfather naturalized (if he did), where everyone was born, and the recent rule changes, but before I spend a lot of time gathering documents, I’m just trying to understand whether this is even a path that could still be possible
