Some really amazing news from here! San Francisco has just opened a new way to make an appointment for jure sanguinis. Now, they offer afternoon appointments that are only about 6 weeks out. These appointments are for people who definitely have their packet 100% ready. They just opened this in April so I’ve been watching and trying every single day. I’ve been keeping a log of the timing and what the results were (you know I love a spreadsheet!) and it’s clear the appointments are listed on Mondays and Wednesdays. I log in every time at a little before 3pm (which is midnight in Rome). Well, it took about a month but I got an appointment. I cried! Then I went to Italian class and cried again in front of all my classmates!
As a reminder, my first appointment was May 4, 2027. Then last year when we were in Polignano a Mare, I got an appointment for July 1, 2025 and now my appointment is for June 13, 2024. If everything goes well, I may have my passport by early 2025.
