Perche - Thanks for the clarification but I am still confused. So we have all the paperwork - birth certificates, naturalization paperwork, death certificates, marriage licenses, etc. We also have apostilles and italian translations. The agency we have used said that we need an appointment at the consulate to present our documents and prove that we live in the jurisdiction for the Houston consulate. At the appointment, they confirm we are eligible for citizenship. Their website provides information about making appointments for citizenship.
So if I understand you correctly, we do not need an actual appointment at the consulate for this? If so, how do we get the paperwork to fill out and where do we mail it?
