Greetings - I am in the process of trying to determine if I qualify for Italian Citizenship. I managed to get a copy of my grandfathers "Declaration of Intention" but am wondering if the date on it is considered the date of his naturalization or if it is just the date that he applied for his citizenship ? Do you happen to know the answer to this ?
It looks like he arrived in the US on November 1, 1913, he signed his petition on September 1, 1924 and he received notification on January 18, 1930. My father was born on February 21, 1931 and therefore I am wondering if I qualify for Italian citizenship or not. Does anyone know the difinitive answer to this ? Does it make any difference if both grandparents immigrated from Italy ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
