A 77-year-old architect from Edinburgh faces a 10-year wait to get Italian citizenship due to increased applications after Brexit.
A 77-year-old architect from Edinburgh says she is facing up to a 10-year wait to get Italian citizenship because of the increase in applications after Brexit
The 77-year-old also bought an attached hut where farmers used to keep their sheep for €6,000 , which she plans to turn into an architect’s studio to continue working for Italian clients, specialising in luxury swimming pools. First, the widow faces the difficulty of re-registering in Scotland as an Italian born there. She will then have to deal with slow immigration offices in Italy and an increase in applications after Brexit.
“The problem is that my parents, when I was born in Edinburgh, registered me as a Scottish newborn, not an Italian one, so my dad’s Italian citizenship line was broken.” “This is crazy, it’s really hard in the UK to correct a birth certification, let alone after so many years, and you can do it mostly if the details regarding your father or mother are wrong,” says Ms Romano. “It’s tough to pursue a battle based on merely wishing to change my parent’s decision to register me at birth as Scottish.”
