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.
