DUAL CITIZENSHIP

The United States does not formally recognize dual citizenship. However, it also has not taken any stand against it, either legally or politically. Typically, no American will forfeit his or her citizenship by undertaking the responsibilities of citizenship in another country.

My two treasures could become Italian citizens like I am simply because I’m their real dad (no matter what their mother attempted to do few years ago).

All they need to do is to request their Italian passport when I go to have it renewed at the consulate of Italy in LA, too bad that their mother is very busy to earn money through her job to have the ability to pay rent where she lives with our treasures.

I put below a very small list of links to websites fully dedicated to the advantages, not only to be a US and Italian citizen but to simply have dual nationality.

Being Italian someone is a European citizen by default too and – especially in these times – the individual can only have advantages from this, some of the most important benefits are that any job can be taken in any European country when an employer is interested in hiring a US citizen and the dual citizenship can enroll in schools in any EU country, many of these benefits are clearly listed in some of the linked websites I put at here the bottom.

However, no matter that my two treasures can be recognized as Italian too – no matter that they were both born in DE, it makes me proud that they can (will) have the Italian passport, because I’ve been seeing in their behavior, way of thinking and physical characteristics that they do have my genes (thoroughbred) I’m therefore more than happy that my treasures will accompany me to Verona (Italy) very soon.
