[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone - for everyone that assumed Italy...you are correct! There are a few reasons why it's so expensive.  1. Translations 2.  It's considered a "1948 Case" (applying through a maternal line), which means only an immigration lawyer can file for petition for decent. I am confident I can collect all the birth/death/marriage certificates and have them translated, but I cannot get around the immigration lawyer in the 1948 rule.

I'm particularly interested in making an effort because my kids and their families will have greater opportunities starting w/ college and/or future job opportunities.  For me - maybe a retirement opportunity though I don't necessarily feel I actually need citizenship for retirement alone.  Thanks again for your thoughts![/quote]

I have dual EU (france) and US citizenship.  It's a great thing to have and could end up being a great benefit to your kids. But for college, I think you need to be a resident to take advantage of tuition for Italian citizen. This goes for most European countries- it is basically no advantage for college having an EU passport.

If anyone can correct me on this, let's hear it. Would love to have this wrong.[/quote]

Incorrect. Even not being a resident, cost of university is much cheaper in Europe. You also don’t have to bother with student visas or leaving when a visa expires. Having a European passport is very helpful.[/quote]
