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

Currently there is no language requirement in DL 36/2025, and the only residency requirement is to live there for 2 years before the birth or adoption of a child to pass citizenship on, if your parents weren’t born there. DDL 1450 is a proposed amendment that, in part, would allow minor children to fulfill the 2 year residency themselves, and (I believe) if they are no longer a minor, 3 years
Here is an english translation of DL 36/2025. The actual text of the decree is near the bottom

The thread started out talking about citizenship through great grandparents, which to me sounded a whole lot like claiming citizenship through jure sanguinis. This is what the two links I posted were about. Then halfway through he started talking about residency, which, sure, probably has different requirements.
I haven’t looked deeply enough into it to see where cnn sourced their information as I’m not that far into my process yet to need to be concerned about it yet…
As for your link, yeah I don’t see any language requirement either. Is this regarding claiming citizenship through jure sanguinis or through residency?

Gotcha, no problem, just a miscommunication :) Yes, DL 36/2025 is all about citizenship by descent, jure sanguinis. That’s the new decree that has changed things recently, preventing many people from claiming citizenship. It’s still possible that residency could be added as a requirement on top of parental ties, and in fact it has been for minor children beyond grandchildren.
I’ll be watching how it all plays out along with you. Good luck on your journey!
