The €64,000 Question...
The question I want answered ASAP...
How long will this process take?
I have read numerous forums and sites about people getting dual citizenship in Italy through Jure Sanguinis and they're consistently inconsistent. I have heard timeframes from two weeks to a year. The deciding factor in my case will be obtaining my great-grandfather's birth certificate from Italy. I have decided to go through an agency instead of an individual only because I will be able to track progress and for me, there will be a greater sense of responsibility. Nothing against the gentleman who offered to help, very kind of him.
Once I get that birth certificate, I just need to make an appointment with the Italian Consulate in Boston, which is 2 miles away from my apartment. Then, if all goes well, I will have the passport and begin making plans to move.
UPDATE: I will aim to move to Italy by September of 2006 as I just accepted a full-time position here and will save money before the big move.
A presto!

I am beginning almost the same process as you are right now, so it would be very interesting to see how our processes track with each others. One thing that I hope you realize is that at the age of 22, you are very eligible for Italy's non-volunteer army. Unless you are older than 27 (as I understood it), you more than likely will be 'drafted' (for lack of a better word). This might be something to look into before you go too far into the process.
Good luck
