I have dual citizenship, but my dad and my grandparents had to give up their Italian to become Australia so I have no problems to live here, but if they want to come back they have to get a visa or something for one year before they can start the application process. Crazy if you ask me!<BR/><BR/>Hello Melanie,<BR/>(For those reading this Melanie is my twin.) So that is the reason! Well whatever I am glad as we got our passports easy!<BR/>Love twin.<BR/><BR/>Hi Rosie,<BR/>You are lucky to have dual citizenship as you too can live in any country in Europe, or Australia! <BR/>Also it'll be a long, long time till our house is ready to live in. We have no money so will be working on the land this time rather then the house itself. One day however...one day.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi Carla,<BR/>Shame that your dad was naturalized before you were born. But best of luck with getting the passport, you should be able to get via grandparents perhaps. Not sure on the particulars but I hope it works out for you!Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-78885457264934536082008-10-31T12:53:00.000+01:002008-10-31T12:53:00.000+01:00That is a funny story.

Unfortunately my dad did get naturalized when he came to the states so for me to obtain Italian citizenship is a big hassle, but recently I decided to continue on the quest to obtaining it.<BR/>About what Melanie wrote, I guess not much has changed if even back then the consulates office wasn't very convenient/customer friendly because also nowadays it's only open a few hours (per day)! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-40115034095851136962008-10-31T03:54:00.000+01:002008-10-31T03:54:00.000+01:00That's too funny!Wow!

I was reading about your awful photo when you were trying to hide from your furbi guests... my old passport photo was like that! I looked like a drug criminal! very happy to have a nice new photo that looks like a responsible citizen!<BR/><BR/>I'm so jealous of your gorgeous old house!

According to Dad when some of this brothers and sisters started becoming Australian, Dad could not leave work and apparently the office you needed to go to was in the city and only open for a couple of hours during the week... thus Dad's reason. <BR/>Love MelanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-65135765841194152292008-10-30T18:08:00.000+01:002008-10-30T18:08:00.000+01:00I have a friend whose Dad is from Naples and left ...I have a friend whose Dad is from Naples and left for Canada in his twenties to better his life.
