Would anyone out there know anything about Dual Citizenship? My Grandfather
and Father were born in Italy and than became citizens of the US. I heard
that that would make me a citizen of Italy as well, is this true and how
would it work?

Hi
Do not know about Italy but I am a dual citizen of Canada and US. In my
case it was because I was born in 1930 in Canada .My mother was a US citizen,
my father was a dual citizen of Canada and US because his parents were
American Citizens. My parents brought me back to US when I was 18 months old. I have
a very precious paper issued to them at the US border that allowed me
across. I had always been told by my parents I was a dual citizen That I would
have to choose to be a Canadian citizen or a US citizen. Since I had lived in
US for lots of years I assumed I had chosen US.
In my case in the 1950s I worked at Boeing Aircraft in WA. Suddenly I had
to prove to Boeing I was an American citizen to keep my job. No one in the
Immigration Dept would believe me when I said I was a dual citizen. Immigration
never heard of such a thing. In order to straighten everything all out
first my father had to establish his US citizenship, then I could establish mine.
It is my very guarded opinion that you would not be a dual citizen if you
were not born in Italy.
