Update on Verification of Citizenship Case by bande11

Hi All, To those of you who have been reading/following the progression of my case... Quick recap: Applied for Verification of Citizenship (jus sanguinis) in May 2016, was advised it was forwarded for Registration of Birth in August 2017. Was ...

I am taking a time out from this site but your story is important enough to break my own rules. Think it is a good idea to write the "officials' whoever they may be, easy to hide behind a desk and act like they don't know anything. Keep ... Read More

That additional bit of information goes some way towards explaining the delay. Bureaucrats don't like to deal with gray in matters like this. Either your grandparents were married, or they weren't. There's no room for a ... Read More

Sad to say but yes, someone probably was sitting on it. I submitted my actual marriage license after a huge hassle of getting it mailed from the US. I had paid for fast service but it got "misplaced" or slowed down in the mail, took about ... Read More

Fingers crossed for you. I applied in August 2017 and waiting but don't actually expect to hear anything until March or even April at the earliest. In my case, my father is a living HU citizen and I had the plenty of supporting paperwork going ... Read More

From my (extensive and painful) experience with Hungarian bureaucracy I can suggest a "just so story" what might have happened: The first office had no clue how to deal with your application. So "sat on it", till someone decided ... Read More
