Advice on how to proceed?
Hello all,
Congratulations to everybody with a minor issue case who’s now back in the running! I filed my case concurrently with my father all the way back in 2023 (Aug 2023) at the Los Angeles consulate, claiming through my GGGF. I received a pre-avviso di rigetto back in December 2025 before the Corte di Cassazione case, exclusively citing the minor issue, and responded within 10 days requesting that they suspend my case until the ruling.
My father and I never received an official rejection, so I’m assuming we’re still pending, but now because it’s officially been 3 years since my original appointment date I’m unsure if I should wait for recognition or contact the consulate through an avvocato requesting immediate evaluation. I haven’t used an attorney so far and was trying to avoid the cost, but if it’s necessary to avoid a frivolous rejection on other grounds (only discrepancy I’m aware of is my GGF who was born Giuseppe in New York and went by Joseph on all future documentation…) I’m willing to bite the bullet.
Thanks for any advice!
