Out of curiosity...why has no one on this site used a lawyer to sue for their JS? We have used one for several reasons, the largest being my husband's family "ducks" were difficult to put in their row. We also had to sue under his Mom's side, also for those "ducks" not getting into line.
Yes, it was expensive, it has taken about 5 years but we also have people on the ground in Italy, that are Native Speakers and are experienced Citizenship.
We are able to ask questions and track the case on the Italian Court website.
It seems as if this would eliminate all the uncertainty most people have seeking their citizenship.
