I received a call from Anna Vigella from the Italian Consulate of Chicago this afternoon.  She received the certified letter I sent to her about the status of my citizenship.  As much as I don't want to say it, she told me that my application is not even close to being finished.  I almost reached through the phone and strangled her. 

WHAT?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

I handed everything in that was asked of me in January 2007.  EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT???? BLOOD!!!!!! I can prove I am a IORI thru my DNA!!!!!!!

Breathe, Katie, Breathe. 

She is sending me a letter with all the information I am missing(which is obsurd) and set me up for an appointment on March 4 2009, at 10am, to hand in all the paperwork once again.  BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Obviously I must stay in the country until that date, which was my plan anyways.  I am so annoyed with this process.  I have been waiting FOREVER, and I know, I know, many other people have been waiting longer than me for sure.  BUT Damn!!!! 

I have no words left for the Italian Consulates........except many curse words which I will refrain from typing.
