It’s been an amazing and simple process thanks to the ICA team! It would have been far too confusing to otherwise navigate. They truly took the extra step; to avoid confusion, Antonella or Lara constantly handled things on my behalf, scheduled appointments, even printed all documents necessary to move forward. Safe to say this would have been far too daunting without their hand holding. Thanks for everything : ) & so exciting to have this deeper connection with Italy. 1000% recommended!
We highly recommend engaging with ICA to assist in the long road to gaining Italian dual citizenship. It has been well worth it. They’re very knowledgeable, professional and organized in gathering the proper documentation and translations necessary. Thanks to ICA, every step of the way was processed seamlessly. The passports are finally on the way!! Thank you Eleonora, Marco and your team! We couldn’t have done it without you! 🇮🇹
100% recommendation for ICA! Elena was amazing! She helped my family through the almost 3 year process. A decent amount of paper work collection up front, with communication from ICA along the way. Thank you also to Rafi-D and Marco for their YouTube videos! They gave us confidence to work with ICA from the very start. Who can resist the quiet confidence of Marco Permunian and the smooth stylings of Rafi-D!?! I’ll answer that, no one! Thank you everyone at ICA! We feel very blessed and are beyond thrilled!
A little background, my Italian born great grandfather naturalized, so we couldn’t follow his decent, via the Jure Sanguinis route. Our process instead utilized the “1948 Case” route, utilizing my Italian born great grandmother’s line of decent. If I understand it correctly, back in the day, US official records typically naturalized the husband and not the wife, so technically the citizen chain remained unbroken from my great grandmother, to my grandmother, to my mother, then to me and to my children. My wife also can get citizenship, if she behaves, however, it will be a separate process, which has some different requirements, including an Italian B1 language proficiency requirement, but in a way much easier.
Couldn’t recommend the team at Italian Citizenship Assistance more highly! We had a pretty complicated case going back a few generations which meant collecting many documents from the US and Italy and the team handled everything perfectly. Communication was always clear – they explained all the requirements and the recommendations made by the legal team were thoughtful and ensured a successful process.
An incredibly professional and supportive team. We were guided patiently through each step of our “South African” 1948 journey by Marco, Claudia and Chiara. ICA’s customer service was exceptional from beginning to end. I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to ICA for making my dream a reality and on behalf of the entire family, we are honoured and blessed to be recognised as Italian citizens.
Incredible service from start to finish! The process went seamlessly and everything was handled professionally on both sides of the ocean. They are knowledgeable and supportive throughout every step of the process. I can’t say enough about them.
I can’t say enough good things about this company! They helped me every step along the way to achieving my Italian Citizenship. I worked with Silvia Bolognesi, she was an Ace! She is very knowledgeable and on top of the system, always answering my questions promptly and with skill.
If you’re looking for help in the process of acquiring Citizenship, this is the place!!! Thanks again Silvia! SCC
I am incredibly happy with my experience using ICA! They were helpful & knowledgeable at every step, down to my passport appointment. This process can be overwhelming and intimidating and ICA made it easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend to anyone considering gaining citizenship through decent! Thank you to everyone at ICA, especially Silvia & Chiara for guiding me and my family through this process!!
Without ICA I’m just not sure getting my Italian Citizenship would have been possible. They worked through a number of issues for me in terms of documentation and consulate-related issues. Anna Simoncini was my primary contact, and she was with me throughout the multi-year journey, and I couldn’t have asked for someone more responsive and more helpful. Thank you so much for your help!!!!😀
Eleonora has been my primary contact at ICA and has been incredibly helpful through the multi-year process of getting my Italian citizenship via Jure Sanguinis. They handled everything they possibly could for me, and made all the parts I had to do myself incredibly clear and straightforward. It’s always going to be a long process, but having the confidence that everything is done right is incredibly reassuring given the general lack of communication you get from the consulate. All in all, I highly recommend ICA!
I recommend ICA, without any reservation. They are very knowledgeable about the different avenues for applying for Italian citizenship. Here is my story:
I set out on the path to claim my Italian citizenship (Jure Sanguinis) through my maternal line in 2016. I completed much of the document collection in the USA and Italy myself and obtained the apostilles. I started working with ICA around 2020; they reviewed what I had collected and helped me identify a few documents I needed and did a review of all my documents to determine if there would be any anticipated problems with my application. They also completed the translations and obtained other certifications I needed.
I chose to initially apply in Italy. I also chose the difficult path of applying in the small town where my grandfather was from and where some of my family currently live in Italy. It was a bumpy road dealing with an official their that was in charge of my citizenship application, he made my application process in Italy very difficult. ICA had my back the whole way, though in the end it was obvious the official was purposely making things more difficult for me and no matter what additional documents I provided and hoops I jumped through, in the end he had already made up his mind. He was not very knowledgeable of the process and came up with his own criteria…
Even though my dream of applying in Italy did not work out, my 4 months there in 2021 was a wonderful experience because I was able to improve my language skills, spend time with my family, and learn more about my heritage. There was a possibility to apply in Rovigo, which would have likely turned out fine because that is where ICAs office is and they have a positive relationship with the municipality. But I chose the harder, uncertain path.
Luckily after my 4 months in Italy, I returned to NYC and applied right away at the Italian Consulate because I had made an appointment 2 years prior, as my plan B. Everything went smooth and I was notified after 21 months (in 2023) that my application had been successful and I was now officially an Italian Citizen!
I cannot say enough positive things about Silvia and Marco, I thank them immensely! Silvia answered all my questions, I sent her so many emails, and she was always patient, kind, and thorough with her responses. My experience with her was top notch! Grazie di cuore, Silvia! 😊
Thank you Marco, you have a great team! You all are helping so many people regain a connection with their ancestors that was lost, a connection to a country and culture that many of us love. Grazie mille per tutto il vostro aiuto! 😊🇮🇹
ICA located all of our missing family documents. They were responsive and reliable. Now my citizenship is in place and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to reconnect to their Italian roots.
Anna from ICA was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, quick to respond, and kind while helping me and my family obtain our Italian Citizenship. It was a long journey (we started in Fall of 2019), and she helped us navigate all the complexities of the paperwork and documentation we needed, and helped with scheduling appointments too. Just this past week, our applications were accepted. We couldn’t have done it without you, Anna! Grazie mille!
ICA is fantastic. They are professional, respond quickly and with courtesy, and are patient throughout the process. They have helped greatly and gone above and beyond. I would recommend them 100%!
Wow, Italian Citizenship Assistance is AMAZING. They helped me with every step of obtaining my Italian Citizenship. I switched to them after having little success with another company, and ICA is excellent. They were so helpful, friendly, and prompt in their replies. They helped me complete every portion of my paperwork and gave me clear instructions as to next steps. I could not be happier with the help they provided. Grazie mille Alessandra e Chiara per tutto il vostro aiuto!
I would highly recommend ICA and their entire staff if you are considering pursuing Italian Citizenship. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
They were extraordinary in guiding me every step of the way through the complicated process of obtaining citizenship. Excellent at communicating and explaining the entire procedure. It was a long journey with many ups and downs but they managed every last detail.
With Susanna’s assistance and guidance and her constant and kind support, I obtained my Italian citizenship and passport within 6 months from submitting my application in Italy. I never could have done it without her.
Giulia helped me find an apartment, took care of arranging all my utilities and internet and was a compassionate support throughout my entire time of residency in Italy.
Her assistance was invaluable.
Many thanks to Susanna, Giulia, Marco, Emma and the entire staff at ICA, It was a wonderful and amazing experience working together !
I am now happily living in Rome !
I can’t recommend Italian Citizenship Assistance enough. Claudia Berto was INCREDIBLE in helping me every step of the way and it was a long journey that included dealing with closures of the consulate and of course the Covid shutdown. Marco and Silvia got me started and Claudia managed every last detail – including my passport application after I finally took the oath. I had two citizenships going into this (Canadian and US) and even though my citizenship was through marriage, it was complicated and I couldn’t have done it alone. I never could have done it without them – they stuck with me for 5 years until it was done. Worth EVERY Penny. They made a complicated process more like a paint by numbers. Wonderful!
Wonderful experience and very reliable agency.. I
Had a complicated case and they helped me understand the process and I was reassured that they were following it Closely.. thank you ICA!!
I highly recommend ICA and their entire staff if you are pursuing Italian Citizenship!
They are extremely professional in every aspect of the services that they provide!
I cannot say enough about ICA!
Thank you Elena, Marco, and Staff!!
I would highly recommend ICA. Enrica and Marco have been very reliable, skilled and patient. I received citizenship in 5 months as they predicted while living in Italy. Thank you ICA.
After a journey that started more than 5 years ago with other agencies rejecting my family’s case because they thought it was too complicated (even though it was clear we qualified), I today received my Italian passport! We are very thankful we found ICA. Giulia was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the process – it would have been impossible for us to get to this result without her. We could not recommend working with her / ICA more highly!
ICA helped me gain my Italian passport by carefully taking me through the steps to firstly update by comune records, and then the documents needed for a passport. Due to the complexity of my case we faced many challenges. Without the dedication of the wonderful and commited lady who looked after me it probably would have never happened. My Italian passport means so much to me, so a huge thanks to you Domitila🌹
I very strongly recommend this service. Italian Citizenship Assistance has been extremely helpful throughout a long and complicated process. I purchased their “Executive-Full Service” Jure Sanguinis package for myself and my father and it was worth every penny. The team held our hands through every single step:
-Gathering all documents from multiple sources across two countries and four US states.
-Obtaining official Italian translations for all English documents.
-Obtaining appropriate Apostilles.
-Pre-populating the necessary application forms.
-Contacting my consulate, setting up my appointment, neatly ordering all my documents, and summarizing my case for me.
In addition to this, the specialists working on my case (first Silvia, then Elena) were always extremely polite, professional, and clear, and always responded to my questions within one business day. The best way I can describe the process is “care free” from my perspective.
Thank you, ICA!
Simply the best! Obtaining citizenship for myself and two other members of my family was such a seamless process. Giulia assisted me every step of the way including guiding me to put together the final documentation binder for submittal to the Consulate. She was always responsive and timely in ensuring that progress was made. We initially consulted with Marco Permunian on a side trip from Venice. He is an expert in the process and I am so glad I selected ICA. We received our positive letters from the consulate this week and are thrilled!
We hired Italian Citizenship Assistance to help with some documents that we were having a hard time locating. We went with the Executive Full-Service package. I am happy to report that they have been a tremendous help throughout this process. Highly recommend ICA.
Italian Citizenship Assistance is very professional and knowledgeable about the process for citizenship. I only succeeded in having my citizenship by descent recognized because of their good work. When complications about documentation arose, they knew exactly how to handle it.
ICA has guided me through the Italian citizenship process from beginning to end with the amazing results of obtaining my citizenship in 4 months from submitting my application here in Italy. In particular Giulia Romito has been immensely helpful with providing me accurate information and quick responses to all my questions. I could not be more satisfied with ICA and in particular Giulia. They are an outstanding organization.
I went through this company (ICA) for my citizenship and they were amazing! I definitely couldn’t have done it without them, particularly for stuff like finding my grandparent’s birth certificate from Italy or doing translations. Giulia answered my emails very quickly, either that same day or the next day, and was extremely helpful and kind throughout the entire process. I was always clear about what the nexts steps would be and it was such a relief to have help with all of this because the paperwork can get a bit tricky. They really go above and beyond and I am so grateful!
I wholeheartedly recommend Italian Citizenship Assistance! Since I had little documentation to start with, Marco and his team carefully guided me through all of the required steps, making the process less intimidating than I thought it would be. Giulia was very helpful in obtaining a diffida when the Consulate exceeded the 2-year mark, and Martina provided excellent guidance and support for the final steps in scheduling my Italian passport appointment. Based on their outstanding service, I have already recommended several friends to ICA. Thank you again!
Jelena Mandicic provided excellent service. ICA took my 1948 case and successfully obtained my citizenship this month. I recommend them 100%.
Throughout the whole process, everyone that worked on my 1948 case has been amazing. Took about 3 years from start to final acceptance for those wondering. Dea always kept me up to date and kept me reassured. I highly recommend this team.
Wonderful service. Giulia helped me in securing my Italian citizenship and passport. It took a few years (a global pandemic did not help) but Giulia guided me through the whole process and kept at it. I was completely in the dark before on how this would work, or if I would qualify, but they helped me from beginning to end. Highly, highly recommend.
My experience of ICA and Michelle Prini in particular has been a very good one. I was seeking to have my Italian citizenship recognised from my late mothers Italian birth and domicile prior to marrying my father, a British soldier, after the war and then her moving to the UK where she became a British citizen. There was a difficulty arising as a spelling mistake on her birth certificate caused a differentiation to subsequent documentation and hence the question, do the documents relate to the same person? Michelle coordinated the entire process to its successful conclusion. She was always clear in her requests and instructions, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will make sure my extended family use these same services and ask for Michelle Prini by name.
I don’t know how we would have made it without ICA’s support all along the way. We didn’t intend to leave the outcome up to chance after we figured there’s a fairly tight schedule and not much margin for errors and in turn the risk of having to restart from square one is not so immaterial. Dea guided us and with her support around the clock we also resolved two unexpected problems that materialized well after we already hired ICE, so we sure were glad we did! Thank you for your excellent service.
I have worked with ICA for 4 years and just won my 1948 case (with a ‘minor’ issue) in Palermo. I can’t recommend ICA highly enough. Susanna Viola helped me with all the data collection and she is absolutely AMAZING. So professional, knowledgeable, helpful and incredibly responsive. She was absolutely outstanding in every way. The legal team (Marco, Andrea) provided excellent guidance and suggestions and did a fantastic job. Excellent execution all around. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Italian Citizenship Assistance!
Yesterday, my son and I received our Italian passports in the mail – it was the culmination of a year-long process that started with my wife and I moving to Giacciano con Baruchella to have my Italian citizenship recognized. We worked closely with ICA, more specifically with Alessandra from the Rovigo office. She was professional, efficient and most importantly, very diligent and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend ICA’s services for anyone who is interested in fulfilling their dream of Italian citizenship!
Great program! Solid team, always responsive and helped my family and I achieve our dream! Highly recommend!
The service by ICA was flawless. As a professional in the legal field myself, I can appreciate how knowledgeable and courteous they handle their cases. All of my questions and concerns were addressed, every step was explained and it made this long journey a positive and memorable professional experience. Highly recommend
Can’t recommend ICA enough. This seemed like such a daunting process when we began but as soon as we hired ICA, we felt a huge weight off of our shoulders. We worked mostly with Giulia and I can’t say enough about her professionalism and responsiveness. We knew that if we reached out with a question, we would hear back within a very reasonable amount of time, with the necessary answer or a plan to obtain the information. Working with ICA assured us that the process would be done quickly and correctly, which is important given that any small mistakes can set you back. My spouse and children now all have their citizenship recognized and passports in hand – and we’re all thrilled.
ICA have been by my side for 4 years during a complicated dual citizenship journey. Between the complexities of document discrepancies, a global pandemic, shifting from a US filing to an Italy filing, their loyalty and commitment to my case remained strong and determined. I am forever indebted to Marco and his team, Anna and Suzanna, for not giving up and always being patient when I was not. I am now a proud dual citizen of Italy and the US and have passport in hand! My gratitude for their work ethic is profound and I recommend their services if you want strong partnership for your journey. Thank you ICA team for helping to change the course of my life!
Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and always there to answer any question. Thank you Enrica for all your efforts in making my Italian citizenship possible. I am so happy to have had Enrica by my side through the reacquisition of my citizenship process. She basically held my hand through every step. The process is complicated to say the least but to have such a knowledgeable person guiding me through served invaluable. I highly recommend working with Enrica and the team at ICA. Mille grazie!!!
Silvia proved to be indispensable throughout the whole citizenship process. To say that the Italian system is burocratic and disfunctional is a gross understatement and I wouldn’t have been able to advance my citizenship application without her expert guidance.
Her great, professional communication skills and timely responses to every occasion were amongst the most competent I have ever encountered.
Finally, her approachable and friendly demeanor were a joy to work with.
I couldn’t recommend Italian Citizenship’s Assistance more highly. 10/10. Thank you so much!
Alice and the team at ICA were very knowledgeable, helpful and patient during the process of applying for citizenship for myself and three minor daughters that we retained them for. Their team was very responsive from start to finish. They were also happy and quick to assist in all aspects of the process including: finding and acquiring documents, amending documents, appointment prep for citizenship and passport. We are very happy we had their help and support and would recommend.
Susanna has been by my side for the past five years helping me with my own application for citizenship by marriage as well as registering my daughters and obtaining their passports. She made a challenging process manageable and I simply could not/would not have done it without her assistance. I especially appreciate how ICA breaks the process down into steps and provides clear step-by-step instructions to follow. It has been a joy working with Susanna and her colleagues.
They were helpful and supportive from the very first contact. Anna was consistently in contact with me, explained everything in detail, was personable and professional. She was thorough and took care of so much of this process. I could not have done it without her and ICA. I recommend them unreservedly!
BEST DAY EVER!
Italian Passports in hand!!
The final step in our process! We could not have done it without Italian Citizenship Assistance and all of Anna’s hard work!
Time to get some stamps 🌎
I am the daughter of a mother and father born and raised in Sicily. My parents became U.S. citizens after my birth. You would think that reclaiming my Italian citizenship would be a no-brainer.
You would think wrong.
If not for Marco, Anita, and the entire ICA family, I probably would have lost faith and given up on this dream. I can’t imagine attempting to pursue Italian citizenship alone and without the expertise of this team. It took some time (about a couple of years), and, yet, the journey proved sweet in great part because of the people spearheading my case.
I am now officially scheduled to get my Italian passport on June 8 and am in the process of being registered with the AIRE. I am deeply grateful for having found and connected with such authentically talented champions who have cheered me on throughout this process.
If anyone is wishing to reclaim their Italian citizenship, doing so with ICA at your side….now THAT is a no-brainer.
Thank you Marco and team!!! We are thrilled to finally be Italian citizens. You made the process so easy for us and we will be forever grateful!
Sincerely,
Fran, Cara & Lauren
ICA helped us for over 4 years with a JM application for my wife. They helped us through a complex process seamlessly, were always there to answer questions, and are consummate professionals at what they do. I can only recommend their services across a variety of Italian citizenship issues – they executed flawlessly for us.
Enrica is a pleasure to work with! With my crazy schedule as an Entrepreneur, I would have never been able to make it through the whole process on my own. I highly recommend working with Enrica & the whole team at ICA!
Ciao Marco and Rafi D! I can personally attest to ICA’s ability to do this. I thought my case was a slam dunk as my dad’s dad was born in Italy. But it turns out that line was not usable as my grandfather had naturalized before my dad was born. But ICA found that my mom’s grandfather was still an Italian citizen when my grandfather on my mother’s side was born. My mom had never even met her dad’s dad, he died before my mom was born, and they found this out and now I am just waiting for my recognition. ICA is the real deal. They are amazing. I am still in awe and deeply grateful for their efforts. Thanks very much. -Joe
My family recently used Italian Citizenship Assistance to request Italian Citizenship. My Grandpa was Italian and we were able to prove our Italian bloodline through him. Italian Citizenship Assistance worked with our family and made the citizenship process easy and understandable. They helped us speed up the process and fill out all the documents. Due to their professionalism and support, we were finally approved as Italian Citizens, and they have continued to help us through the next phases of the process to get a passport. Without them, none of this is possible! Thank you all so much and hopefully I will see you in Italy soon!!!
Anna & Italian Citizenship Assistance have been so helpful through the whole process of collecting documents, organizing folders, setting up appointments, filling out forms, remembering appointments, following up… all of it. I cannot imagine having to do all of this without the help of the experts. My citizenship has been approved and my final step is a passport appointment in June!
I just want to thank everyone so much at Italian Citizenship Assistance, and especially Alice and Marco, for their help throughout the process. Five years ago I returned from a semester abroad in Venice that awakened my inner Italian American in a deep sense. I always knew I was Italian, but it took that experience for me to realize that I in fact wanted to build a life in the country of my ancestors. After a year of exploring my options I found out about the jure sanguinis legal principle and soon after I started working with the team at ICA to gather my documents, set my appointment, and begin the process. That was nearly four years ago. Here I am today, recognized by the Italian government as a proud Italian citizen, and although I believe I could have made this dream a reality on my own, it was so much simpler with the help of this wonderful team of experts. Thank you so much again for this priceless assistance. You all have helped me realize my dream to reconnect with Italy and I soon will depart for Italy and Rome to declare my residence, and begin life in what had always been my patria lontana. Grazie di nuovo!!! And if you’re an Italian American reading this and needing assistance with the jure sanguinis process go with ICA!!!
Silvia and Marco were AMAZING! They made it so easy to get all of our paperwork in order to obtain our Italian citizenship the proper way so that it could be processed as quickly as possible. It was definitely well worth going through them. The process is very confusing and convoluted and they made it very easy for us. Silvia was always very prompt in getting back to our email questions and we had a lot of them. We highly recommend them!
Having made the decision to become an Italian citizen, I was not aware of the complexity of the process. Consequently, I chose Marco Permunian’s Italian Citizenship Assistance (ICA) to assist me and it was an excellent choice. ICA is professional and knowledge based.
During the preparation process my files were entrusted to the extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and patient Specialist Enrica Munegato. Ms Munegato always provided me with timely answers, clarification and vital assistance until my goal was reached. Her professionalism is unsurpassed.
I should also mention the document help from Lisa Benetti. Together they make an excellent team. I highly recommend ICA!
Just completed the multi-year process of obtaining Italian citizenship for my US based family and I via my great-grandmother. I could NOT have done this on my own, and I am very pleased with the services provided by Marco and this team. Specific thanks to Claudia as my go-to contact for regular updates, clarifications and help! I would recommend these guys if you are in need of any similar assistance.
ICA helped me with my citizenship, and if it weren’t for them, I most definitely wouldn’t have been able to move to Europe as quickly as I did. Can’t go wrong with ICA! <3
Thanks to Marco’s team, particularly Claudia for their help in allowing me to successfully acquire dual Italian. They are prompt, courteous and took care of every last detail. It was a great experience. Highly recommended.
Great job guys. Currently a client with Marco and they have nothing but professional and prompt. They know their stuff. I can’t stress this enough… do not risk this stuff with someone that does not know the process or how to do it. Marco and his team are pros. Only go with them.
I needed their help with a recalcitrant Commune that didn’t want to accept a birth certificate. Marco and Co got it straightened out!
Wonderful news received today! We are official! Thanks to Emilia, our specialist, who was consistently in contact with us, communicated clearly, kept us updated, and was upfront about expectations, possible delays, court dates etc. We appreciated the entire process with very little stress on our end. I highly recommend this company.
Enrica Munegato was an amazing support to our family in securing our Italian citizenship. She was a pleasure to work with in guiding us step by step with careful detail throughout the process. She is a wonderful person to work with and made the journey enjoyable! Grazie Mille, Enrica!
I am so happy that I am using ICA to help with my family’s accusation of our dual citizenship! It has been a pleasure and I am looking forward to my upcoming appointment at the consulate
Rafael I couldn’t agree with you more about Marco and his team. The fact that they do so much work upfront without taking any payment to determine eligibility is incredibly generous. And that there is no obligation once it is determined the person is eligible, shows the benevolence of ICA. This is why I asked them to help me in my quest for recognition. Grazie mille signori.
In 2017 I had the idea, what if? What if I tracked down my ancestors and can actually become an Italian citizen?
Having tried the DIY route for some time ineffectively, it wasn’t until 2020 however (amidst a pandemic nonetheless) that I made contact with ICA and spoke with Marco. After speaking with others and hearing great experiences, I decided to go for it. My partner and I started the process really in October 2020.
Yesterday I walked into the commune and picked up my Carta d’Identita and now I am officially an Italian Citizen. Passport to come soon. It’s like a dream come true. Completely life altering.
I would highly highly recommend ICA if you are considering getting your Italian citizenship. The process of acquiring your citizenship is riddled with a labyrinth of legal and administrative tunnels to navigate, especially in Italy, which I got to see first hand. There are many orders of operations to be complete and it’s just too easy to mess this up doing it by yourself. It’s wonderful to have expert aid.
I was fortunate to be assisted by Eleonora De Leoni at ICA, who is completely professional, highly organized, and a joy to work with. She took care of everything. It’s like having a personal Italian concierge handling your whole affair. 😊
Now I can focus on the next chapter in creating my life here in Italy. Thank you so much ICA.
They made the process possible and painless. Got everything together and submitted it and was always available for my questions
After thinking that getting my Italian citizenship recognized was going to be impossible because all of my great-grandfather’s naturalized before the next in line was born, ICA came to the rescue with the idea of pursuing a 1948 case thru the courts. I had collected most of my documents myself and ICA told me what else was needed. Within a month or two of me sending all of my documents to Italy, our case was filed in the courts. Of course, then covid hit and the courts shut down but ICA stayed in touch and let us know what was going on. As an attorney myself in the states, I know how busy attorneys can be and it is not always possible to answer a client in the time frame they expect. What I loved about ICA, was that they assigned a contact person to me who responded within 24 hours to my million and one questions and concerns, a huge benefit when you are spending a lot of money in a location thousand of miles away. We have since been recognized and are awaiting the last few steps before we can get our passports. Great job ICA.
I retained Italian Citizenship Assistance to obtain and prepare the documents for my application for Italian citizenship. It was an excellent choice.
ICA has been outstanding and I highly recommend their services. They are extremely professional, prompt, thorough, and provide the correct information and guidance throughout the entire process.
ICA did all of the work and kept me updated on the progress. They answered all my questions immediately. They obtained and prepared the documents from Italy and the United States. The application went smoothly and my application was approved.
Lisa Benetti at ICA has been terrific – she exceeded my every expectation and did a fantastic job for my family. She is extremely dedicated to her job.
If you are seeking Italian citizenship, hire ICA.
First let me start by saying ICA did an outstanding job walking me through the various aspects of the JS process, from scheduling the appointments to finding me an apartment to live in Italy, document translations, following up with various Gov agencies, and many many more things. This would not have been possible without the help of Giulia & Marco at ICA. I would definitely recommend hiring them to expedite the JS process and to make sure the process is done 100% legally without any shortcuts. I can’t thank them enough. I’m really excited to start a new chapter of my life living in Europe.
Thanks Again for all the help!
Great video guys! This has answered a lot of otherwise unanswered questions. I will definitely be watching it again for sure and create some notes. Many thanks! Brilliant work! 👍👍👍
Outstanding interview! Thanks for this. We will be working with Marco on the application for my wife’s dual citizenship through descent (also a daughter at the same time). Once that is completed, then I can apply through marriage.
Amazing company! They collected all of the necessary paperwork and guided us through the whole process. Alice did a great job getting everything together and translated for the Italian Citizenship Application.
Without hesitation, Marco and his team at ICA receive my highest recommendation. There is no doubt that I could not have navigated the complex rules and procedures for recognition of my Italian citizenship without the persistence and guidance of ICA.
In my case, I chose to go to Italy and live there to speed up processing of my application. Marco not only led me step-by-step through all of it, but he found me a place to live not far from his office and made me feel at home. He and his friendly, knowledgeable staff accompanied me to countless meetings and appointments as my paperwork moved through the labyrinthine and often archaic system.
In the end, there were some tricky problems that had to be resolved–it’s no exaggeration to say that Italian bureaucrats have turned unnecessary complication and delay into a science! However, Marco worked out a strategy that I think impressed even the local authorities.
I am grateful for everything the pros at ICA did for me. My new life in Europe would never have been possible without them. Words are certainly not enough to express my gratitude to you, Marco. Thank you.
ICA and Susanna in particular have helped deliver citizenship to myself and my two daughters. My Italian mother passed away 40 years ago and this citizenship is such a wonderful gift she has given to my daughters who she never met. Of course we could have done it on our own, and the staff at the Consulate were wonderful once we got that far, but I don’t think we would have been brave enough to even start the journey without support. Thank you ICA, thank you Italian Consulate in London, thank you Commune Canzano, thank you Susanna.
I could not thank Silvia, Marco and their team enough! I would not have been able to gather all the documents and in the quick time they did myself. I am so happy with their hard work and communication. Anything I asked or needed they responded quickly. I 100% recommend working with them for your citizenship needs. It made the process so much easier than I could have imagined. Thank you for everything again guys!
I’m always a DIY guy but I didn’t want to risk this one or put in all those hours. Currently working with Marco’s team to obtain my citizenship thanks to your previous videos. Painless process so far and great communication. So excited! Thanks for making all of these videos.
I just wanted to say hello and thank you for this video and for all the help I have received with your firm, ICA. I am so grateful that I chose to work with your company. Ilaria has been so patient, informative, and exacting. I am currently at the stage of sending my signed and certified documents to to your Riverside office. The process has been so efficient. I highly recommend using Italian Citizenship Assistance for the Italian Citizenship process. I wish I had done this sooner.
I’ve been working with ICA to handle my 1948 case. They are professional, efficient, and communicate well. I found their pricing to be competitive for my particular case (11 co-petitioners).
There was less than 12 months between sending them all our documentation, and a favorable decision in the Court of Rome.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to pursue Italian citizenship via judicial application.
We recently asked ICA to review our documents to make sure we had everything for the Consulate appt. My initial phone call was with Marco, who explained the process of going through the Consulate or doing it in Italy. Since we already had the Consulate appt, we stayed with them. Next, we emailed the documents we had for their review. To me, Anna went above and beyond what we asked. She was so helpful and made sure we had everything for the appt. in October 2019. Only had a few more things to get for the Consulate and as of February 10,2020, my husband is officially a recognized Italian citizen🇮🇹. We are so grateful for the help we received from ICA! Mille Grazie 🇮🇹
ICA was a fantastic service! They collected all of the necessary paperwork and guided me through the whole process. They were incredibly meticulous, anticipated problems and came up with solutions proactively so that the day of my appointment at the consulate went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend their service for anyone who wants to get their Italian Citizenship paperwork and doesn’t have the time to jump through the (millions of) hoops all on their own!
I would like to sincerely recommend the team at ICA for your Italian citizenship hopes. Anna, Marco, and Gloria were attentive, organized, and patient with my many questions and inquiries. They could not have been more professional or helpful in making my dream come true. You can trust them, and you should not hesitate in working with them.
Ciao Rafi! OMG! I am so super excited! The great people at ICA have found my Italian line for citizenship!! We are going through my maternal grandfathers line. I am over the moon. Of course, I don’t have to tell you how very cool it feels to be able to do this. Emilia at ICA did all the legwork and found my line back to Italy. I could have never done or found this on my own. The people at ICA are like magicians! I am in line waiting for my first appointment at the L.A. consulate, which isn’t until 2023. But at least I am in line. Thank you for all your support Rafi. I appreciate you, Marco, ICA and of course this podcast. Ciao! -Joe
I would like to congratulate ICA for the great job offered in my italian Citizenship Process.
All the team have always been available to help and solve questions. The are really patient and service oriented.
Not a single complaint about their work!
I would never have my citizenship guaranted if it wasn’t for them.
Grazie Mille!
ICA has been wonderful in helping my father and I get our Italian citizenship! They have been thorough and communicative every step of the way. The process ended up being much more complicated than I expected; I’m so glad we didn’t try to do it ourselves! I would definitely recommend ICA.
I used ICA to help gather records for dual Italian citizenship and due to a 1948 case. I was just informed of success in the case. Italian Citizenship Assistance was helpful and always responded to my questions. I could not have gone through this process without them
My wife recently received her JS citizenship after just a few months in Italy. ICA made everything so easy. We just showed up when we were told (multiple meetings), and signed papers. Alice did all the work and all the talking. Our only concerns involved where to go for gelato after! 🙂 It would have been a nightmare to do this on our own. Thanks, ICA!
I used ICA to to file in Los Angeles, they handled everything! I walked right in and had everything organized and they even anticipated any issues and had the corresponding paperwork. If I had done it alone I wouldn’t have foreseen that and it would have set me back months! I’m so relieved to have it all taken care of and as of today, I am an Italian Citizen! I mainly dealt with Susanna and she is just lovely! She is thorough and very prompt in her replies. I highly recommend using them!
ICA is fantastic. Francesca is an absolute gem. She stayed on top of everything and made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. I highly recommend applying in Italy with ICA
I loved working with Claudia and team, they were always very responsive and provided a lot of clarity on next steps. Every time I had a question, she was there to answer it. My case was very complicated and I had to worry about none of it, it was all handled very professionally. I would recommend this team and have in fact to all of my friends.
I cannot say enough good things about this service. I first contacted Italian Citizenship Assistance in October 2018 after I did some initial research into obtaining citizenship by descent. Marco answered all of my questions and explained how the process would take place if I chose to make my application in Italy. I decided to hire Italian Citizenship Assistance and they helped me find accommodations in Italy and file my application. By September 2019 I received my recognition letter and I am now an Italian citizen. Marco and Francesca provided excellent service throughout the process. They answered all my questions and made sure to attend every appointment with me to make sure everything was processed correctly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to obtain citizenship through descent. They are professional and will make sure that everything is done properly.
Claudia is wonderful! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She helped us every step of the way and took care of everything making what could have been a complicated process easy (we opted for the full service package). The three ring binder with all of the information was even organized into the exact order in which the SF consulate asked for the information! I have already recommended ICA to many friends. Thank you for making the process smooth and uncomplicated.
Extremely knowledgeable great group of people that guided me through every step of the process. I had a great experience and I will be recommending them to all of my family and friends. Thank You!
I’ve been working in Europe for ten years and constantly struggling with visas and residency restrictions. Thanks to ICA’s help I was able to solicit and receive Italian citizenship on the basis of family heritage. I couldn’t be more thankful and I recommend their help to anyone of Italian heritage considering options for remaining in Italy or the EU.
I worked with Marco and several other employees of ICA. They helped me with the entire process of applying for duel citizenship. I even called Marco while at the meeting, if it hadn’t been for his assistance I would have left without being approved. I could not have done it without their help. I am so happy and grateful that I used their services.
My husband and his brother used ICA for the past year or so to put together their documentation package, including apostilles and translations. They just had their consulate appointment and were approved without needing any additional documentation or amendments. ICA was a huge help and they couldn’t have done it without them. Thanks for taking this incredibly long journey to the finish line!
I highly recommend working with them if you are considering obtaining your Italian citizenship. They are wonderful to work with. Anna was so helpful and responsive. It was a great experience. They walked me through each step of the process and made the whole task much more mangable. The consulate appointment was much less stressful due to their diligent prepwork – I had everything I needed, in the order I needed it. I could not have accomplished my citizenship without them. Everything was professional and they are extremely knowledgeable about all the detailed processes and forms needed.
I worked with Claudia to help complete the preliminary work I started for juris sanguinis. Claudia was a pleasure to work with, extremely detail oriented, and organized. She guided me through amendments that needed to be made to my documentation before attending the appointment. Thanks to her attention to detail, I was not sent away with the dreaded “homework” letter on the day of my appointment. I was over-prepared for my meeting in December 2018 and walked out with confirmation that I successfully completed my application. Now I wait approximately one year for processing and recognition. I highly recommend ICA to anyone looking for assistance with their application.
ICA team has been extremely helpful with my Italian citizenship application. They are an excellent group of lawyers who are experts in italian citizenship application rules, documentation and application procedures. They have replied to our every little need and question instantly, answering emails 24 hours, 7 days a week. They have prepared all the paperwork and application preparations perfectly and directed us at each step with clear instructions. My application process has gone very smoothly and quickly with their help. I would definitely recommend working with them to everyone I know.
Hi Susanna,
I wanted to let you know that Allie and I went to the consulate on Friday and everything went very well. No problems!
Thank you for all of your hard work and the efforts of everyone there on the team, I can’t tell you how happy we are to have gotten this far and we could not have done it without the help of all of you there. Thank you Claudia and Marco. I hope to see you all this summer for lunch.
With much gratitude,
Walter and Allie Nath
