Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

yea, those are all the restrictions I mentioned above.

as far as I’m aware it’s just the “great” part that changed.

but those citizenship restrictions are no less onerous and still a great deal easier than most pther countries.

basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.

    Under the new regulations, applicants must have at least one Italian parent or grandparent to apply under jus sanguinis. They must also demonstrate Italian language proficiency, which was previously only needed for naturalization through residency or marriage. The proficiency test is a five-part state exam held several times a year, or a higher level equivalency test for those not living in Italy.
    
    At the moment applicants do not have to be currently living in Italy, but do need to have previously lived in the country for three years to be eligible.
    
    Italian language proficiency, prior Italian residency for 3 years, those are both new as well.

    I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.
    
    The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.
    
    thanks!
