Securing a citizenship appointment through the Prenot@mi portal at Italian consulates in New York, London, Toronto, or Melbourne has become almost impossible. With waiting lists extending three to five years—and appointment slots filling in seconds—thousands of applicants find their path to Italian citizenship (jure sanguinis) completely stalled by administrative delays.

In this fifth episode, Avv. Salvatore Aprigliano explains the legal strategy known as the “Against the Queue” Lawsuit. Learn how applicants facing unreasonable consular wait times can bypass consular backlogs entirely and petition an Italian tribunal directly to have their citizenship recognized by a judge.
