    What if the Citizenship Processing Time Takes Too Long? - Diffida

    What if the Citizenship Processing Time Takes Too Long? - Diffida

    Italian citizenship applications, particularly those by descent or marriage, can face bureaucratic delays beyond legal processing times. The 'diffida' acts as a crucial mechanism to encourage consulates and the Ministry of Interior to expedite their decisions. This formal notice demands prompt action within a set deadline and warns of potential legal repercussions for non-compliance. Although it is not commonly necessary, the 'diffida' is particularly effective for overcoming delays in citizenship through marriage cases, highlighting the importance of proactive measures in ensuring the efficient processing of Italian citizenship applications. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast, hosted by Italian attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat Podcaster, Rafael Di Furia, cover the strategic use of 'diffida' to navigate through and resolve the prolonged wait times in the Italian citizenship application process.

A Wonderful, Valuable Resource

This podcast is a wonderful, valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about Italian citizenship (particularly by descent and naturalization, but also marriage) and the nuances of the process directly from an Italian attorney. Marco is a wealth of knowledge and he and Rafael do an excellent job of making a seemingly complicated subject clear and easy to understand. Their conversations are thorough, addressing and often demystifying detailed issues/questions, while also being interesting and engaging, and the sound quality is excellent. I am learning a lot and really enjoying it. Thank you, Marco and Rafael!
