Confusing AVV advice

Boston JS GGF GF M Me, no minor issue, no naturalization, consulate appointment secured on Jan 15, 2025 for Dec 20, 2029.

I contacted an attorney to discuss concerns about consulate appointments scheduled after the application centralization in Rome. My fear is that Boston will cancel all 2029 appointments. Thus needing to file a case.

In his initial response email he suggested that I go the 1948 route and file a case now. This didn’t make any sense to me, given the timing and that my GGF is a viable LIBRA. After asking questions about why 1948 during our zoom call he then advised that I should file a case now on the basis that 2029 is too long to wait to apply.

He also said that he would include in the case that these two GGPs were both solely Italian citizens at birth. He indicated that this is somehow beneficial to my case.

He also thinks my siblings should join my case. My sister, who did attempt via prenot@mi but has no screenshots, and my brother did not create a prenot@me account.
I would think that my siblings joining could hurt my case because they have different circumstances.

I’m confused and surprised by his suggestions as this AVV is very well known and has a great reputation. I’m concerned that this isn’t the best path for me to obtain citizenship.

If I did file a case, it would be filed in Naples.

Any insight, suggestions, or anything anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
