I received my Italian Citizenship recently and if it was not for the patient, professional guidance from Nicola I never would have been able to get it on my own. I say this because when I first started with Nicola I tried doing a few things on my own to "save money" What a mistake. It cost me more aggravation, time and money that I got disgusted and called Nicola and his agency. I am a stickler for people returning calls and emails in a timely fashion. I can say without reservation Nicola promptly returned my phone calls and I live an Ocean away in Brooklyn. It is was a great experience!

Hi Nicola,

On behalf of my family, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for all your professional support in assisting me in the document preparation for my dual citizenship application. Your knowledge of process was invaluable and made this a very smooth experience. After 1-1/2 years of preparation (mostly waiting for my appointment with the Consulate in NYC) all of the documentation was in perfect order, and the translations were flawless.

Just two months after my application appointment with the Consulate, we received official word that our application had been accepted and we are now Italian citizens. We can apply for passports in a few weeks. Grazie mille!! Please express my gratitude to your entire staff.

I would highly recommend your service to anybody seeking dual citizenship. It is more than worth it!

Saluti,
Dean

Almost 10 months ago, I began my search into how to obtain Italian citizenship Jure Sanguinis.  I came upon the website of Italiamerica  http://www.italiandualcitizenship.com/   I found the drop down menu to be simple to use, and then requested documents from Italy through Italiamerica to begin my search.  Within about 10 days, the documents were sent, and I was able to continue to request document translations of my US papers from Nicola.  Throughout the process he was patient, encouraging and prompt with his e-mails, and even sent me the Italian marriage certificate of my greatgrandparents. 

I found the website to be incredibly helpful, as well as Nicola; when I got all my documents together he called, and made sure that I had everything I needed before I called for my appointment at the Italian consulate. 

I would recommend  Italiamerica  http://www.italiandualcitizenship.com/    to anyone interested in exploring whether they qualify for citizenship, and then for translation, and document searches in Italy. 

The good news, when I went to the consulate, my appointment was 10 minutes long, because I had all the right documents, and they were in the proper order (I really recommend that you organize all your material as you go along to make this a streamlined process) 

This week I received word that I had been approved (along with my adult children) for Italian citizenship, and that I will be able to get my Italian passport in 2 weeks.  Mille Grazie Nicola!

HI, Nicola,

I wanted to give you the final word on everything at this end. My mom, son, and I received our Italian citizenship in April. I could NEVER have done it without the wonderful service you provide and I owe you a world of thanks! Last Friday we went back to Newark and we now have our Italian passports. I definitely cried! The service you provide is amazing...I never in my life thought this was possible and I am ever so grateful!! I was even able to vote via mail in the referendum election-- how cool is that? When I went for the citizenship appointment, everything you did to help me was so evident! For each document they requested, I not only had it, but had it in the order they requested, the way you had said, so it was an absolute breeze!

oggetto: One of the greatest days of my life

Dear Nicola,

After countless documents all held together by your constant and unfailing support and advice, one of the greatest days of my life finally arrived. I have been recognized by our beloved Italy as an Italian and now hold in my hand the passport that will announce that fact wherever I go on this planet.

When I first searched the internet to find the help I would need to carry this project through, the minute I came upon the Italiamerica website I had no doubt whom I would choose. You were absolutely the only one that had a face - and not just your face but everyone who works with you.

That signalled to me the uniqueness of your organization. And, Nicola, right from our first conversation I felt certain that my dream would come true. Your deep and sincere committment came right through. You knew exactly how I felt. Of course, all the services you provided proved to be top rate; but this is the greatest of all - The guidance and the encouragement you personally gave kept me forging ahead through some really rough spots until I finally reached my goal.

Dio ti Benedica, compare!

oggetto: RECOMMENDATION

My wife and I found the assistance provided by Italiamerica indispensible for our application for Italian citizenship by descent. Throughout the application process, there were documents and translations that Nicola and his staff either located or produced, that would have been extremely difficult for us to procure on our own. We are sure that the success of the application was due in large part from the assistance we received from Italiamerica. Nicola and his staff were always available and very service oriented: ready to answer and assist with our many questions and concerns. We highly recommend them.

I have actually tried other services and had very negative experiences but my every experience with Italiamerica has been positive. You are not only professional and helpful, but very timely in your work. It is very much appreciated. The process would have taken me MUCH longer to do without your help (its a long enough process already) and quite frankly, I'm not sure I would have been able to do it on my own. Thank you most sincerely and please don't hesitate to use me as a reference.

Be well,
James

oggetto: Italiamerica services

I started looking into Italian citizenship in Feb 2008, and received my letter from the consulate late Jan 2009. Italiamerica provided great service in terms of obtaining my grandparents' birth certificates from Italy and in translating all of my American documents. I took care of obtaining, revising (where necessary), and apostilling all of my American documents--which was quite a lot of work and often a major pain in the neck (I haven't totalled it up yet, but it was also moderately expensive). You can check the cost of using Italiamerica for obtaining documents and translating on their website. They are not the cheapest, but their service is quick and there's no B.S. I originally tried to use a less-expensive service, and got a major runaround and an 8-month wait. Italiamerica was more expensive, but they were quick.

Apart from obtaining documents and translating them, though, the main reason for using Italiamerica is the advice provided by Nicola Colella, the owner of the company. The process can be confusing, and the NY consulate in particular can be very opaque. Nicola's advice is priceless, both from a strategic perspective and from a "pep talk" perspective-it's really easy to get discouraged, and Nicola is really good at "talking you down" when you're stressing about it. He is very knowledgeable about the process--this is something that's hard to find elsewhere.

Good luck!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You have helped me accomplish something that I thought was only a dream. I'm on cloud nine! May God bless you for the wonderful job you do. I can't thank you enough.

Hi Nick,

Mike and I received notification from the Italian Consulate in Houston a few days ago confirming that we are Italian Citizens.

I wanted to update you, and thank you for your help. This citizenship is going to be VERY important to us over the next few years. It has been a pleasure doing business with a true professional who obviously takes pride in the service he provides!

Best!

Hello Nicola,

Just a note to tell you that my appointment at the Consulate in Philadelphia last Friday went very well. All the documents were in order and they couldn't have been nicer. They actually called me back and met with me in an office rather than doing it at the window as they did with my wife.

Thank you for all you have done for my wife and I. We would have never been able to navigate this process without your help.

Cheers,
Frank DiPerna

oggetto Many thanks

Dear Nicola and your staff at Italiamerica,

Thank you so very much for assisting me in the process of obtaining recogniztion of my Italian citizenship by the Consulate of Italy in Detroit. Today, I received my letter from Detroit recognizing my dual citizenship, and my A.I.R.E. application. Your knowledge of the process, your willingness to explain it, and your staff's expeditious preparations of the many translations contributed to the efficient handling of my application in Detroit, for which I am grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others!

I have enjoyed our many conversations, al telefono, during this process and I am glad you have been instrumental in my and my family's goal of obtaining recogniztion of Italian citizenship. Now that the big hurdle of citizenship has been surmounted I look forward in the upcoming months to having our birth certificates recorded in my family's Italian town and to receiving our passports, again, with your help.

Tante grazie per un lavoro ben fatto!
