Ciao a tutti!
I am excited to share that I shipped our POAs, Johana’s documents, and a few other pieces of paperwork off to Italy!
The DHL tracking number is 1094858111. The package is scheduled to arrive on Thursday 10/24. When they received the bulk of our documents from our former lawyer, they looked at everything the same day, so I hope for a quick responsethere confirming that everything looks good and informing us of the next steps. In broad strokes, here is what to expect:
- Once they arrive, the lawyer’s office should inspect them and then translate anything that needs to be translated. These translations are included in our package with the lawyer.
- Once everything is translated, our case should be ready to file, which is exciting!
- Once the case is filed, it will be assigned a judge, and then we will be added to the judge’s calendar. If the timelines we discussed at the start of our process hold up, we’ll probably have our hearing around June. Here’s hoping!
- The timeline after we have our hearing is highly variable. Assuming we win, we will surely have an appeal period of 60 days, but then it will depend upon the (hardworking!) bureaucrats in Ceprano. Sometimes this can be a bit of a wait. I’m hoping we can use our connections to the local government in Ceprano to get things moving.
- Once our vital records are logged in Ceprano, we will be issued Italian birth that we can use to apply for Italian passports.

Our next payment of €4000 is due on November 4. We’ll each be responsible for €400, which is about $434. I’ll share out individual amounts with each person, since I have also gotten a few apostilles and paid for postage which will affect the amount you owe by a bit. If you could try to send your payment to me by the end of next week, that would be lovely. Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, check… anything works!

I think that’s it for this update! Look out for a message from me with a link to your spreadsheet and another one after I hear back from the lawyers.
Abbracci,
