More docs

The Romanian govt wants my mom's marriage cert and her passport and my grandfather's death cert. We're running into the name issue again as my mom's name on her passport matches her old name, not her new one.

Still waiting and studying Romanian

It's been a while, so I thought I'd update.

My mom has sent more papers to our lawyer, some things from my grandparents, so it looks like all the papers are in, we just have to sit and wait.

I acutally found someone in Peru to teach me Romanian and she's 100% Romanian. She found me through a board expat board and we got together in May for coffee, and then she emailed me asking when I was going to start studying Romanian with her, free of charge. I've had three classes with her ranging from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. In exchange I'm helping a friend of hers learn English, so it's all working out. She has a book, from Romania, so it beats my simple "Teach Yourself" and the hard grammar book that I have. So I'm excited, I'm hoping to pick up intermediate level in about six months, since it's so close to Spanish.

News from my lawyer

Just heard from my lawyer. Looks like good news. NOW they're saying that I'm a citizen since my mom is. We've been saying that for years. My lawyer has been telling them this for months, and they finally have realised it. Before this, we were trying to get me citizenship through my mom. Now we've decided to prove that my mom's a citizen (and get her citizenship if necessary) and then try to get me citizenship.

Unfortunately, the Chicago consulate doesn't recognise her citizenship. All we need to do is get sworn declarations and then I should get it by default.
