I’m gathering docs again for my second dual citizenship attempt in a different (European Union) country – the first one got derailed since standards changed when I had already applied, and I didn’t get grandfathered in and it’d be a long and nightmarish and uncertain process to reapply, to the point where my lawyer for the first country said that it'd be better to try the other route, and he doesn't even take cases like mine anymore – and anyhow, what is striking to me is that the issuance dates of a lot of my vital records for submission are from FIVE YEARS AGO.
That’s how long it’s taken, and I haven’t even submitted for my second attempt yet since I’m still learning that other language well enough to pass a speaking interview at the consulate...
If only I had known about my eligibility during the 2010s when the requirements were less and the process was quicker... Like so much of my life, mistimed, and bad luck.
