passport status
My brother Peter and myself have been working on our rightful Italian citizenship since 1996. We have an enormous amount of time and money in this endeavor. The translator you recomended has had our documents for over 3 years. We are very concerned and frustrated. Please respond.

Searching for lost Italian sibling
I recently learned that my late father had a child out of wedlock during WWII, while stationed in Italy.

His Army records are incomplete about this issue.

I do know her name (Sophia or Sofia)and she was able to track him back to Philadelphia after his discharge in 1945.

Unfortunately, no records exist regarding possible paternity and/or support that was established in this matter.

is there any type of data base in Italy which identifies chidren on who were left behind by US servicemen?

Can you help?

Thanks,

John C. Lemon, Jr.

Professional and sympathetic.
I applied for "residenza elletiva" which in effect means I want to go there because I want to and stay as long as I like. It is not easy to get. I was received very politely, and on time. The visa was granted that day. All proper documents were duly returned.
My papers were well in order. I had written a letter, in Italian, explaining my Italian connections (not descent). I was dressed in the only way I know to go before a foreign diplomat on official business--dark suit and polished shoes. My experience was entirely pleasant. A number of other applicants seemed to be dressed for the beach, a course which I do not recommend.

My experience with the consulate ion Phiadelphia has been miserable. They have NEVER responded except once to multiple phone calls , messages and e mails. Am I alone in this experience?
