Sorry for the delay, friends. But we finally have Episode 9 available on your phone, tablet, or whatever you use to listen to podcasts.
This episode details obtaining another citizenship in a different country based on descent, or bloodline.
As discussed on previous episodes of this podcast, I am in the (seemingly long and arduous) process of obtaining my Italian citizenship based on bloodline.
Before we talk about the guest, I give an update on the termination of former WVU Defensive Coordinator Jordan Lesley, and what the future may hold for WVU Football (at the time of this writing: bleak.)
I also go into the stats of where listeners are coming from. We’ve attained Worldwide Status.
There’s also a brief update about the surgery and how I am feeling. (Hint: mixed emotions.)
Finally, our guest today is Dr. Domenico Meschino, owner of Luminosa Global, Inc. His company helps Americans and Canadians obtain their Italian citizenship. He’s also a teacher, author, political scientist, and an Italian Army Veteran.
Dr. Domenico discusses why the Italian citizenship is, in fact, an “asset” that can be passed down for kids, grandkids, so forth and so on.
Dr. Domenico, while making it clear that he is not an attorney (and neither is your host), discusses the laws that made it possible for individuals to finally have dual citizenship in Italy. He also discusses why he runs the business the way he does, why he offers better prices than most companies, as well as criticisms he has faced online.
We then discuss the process of what needs to be done to obtain this beautiful asset, from obtaining paperwork in the US and Italy to how you always have help along the way.
Dr. Domenico and I discuss the recent ruling (circular) from Italy that could restrict citizenship for many people, which both the host and guest believe is discriminatory. We also discuss the rights of minors and why they are very important to this process. Also discussed is how the consulates in the US are when it comes to booking appointments (hint: poor representation of Italy.) Also, Dr. Domenico discusses what he and his company are doing to challenge this discriminatory ruling.
Dr. Domenico is offering those that are descended from Italian citizens a FREE Genealogical check to determine if you may be eligible for Italian Citizenship.
