Hungarian Simp Nat, when you have been rejected. What's next? by blonder
June 20 2014 (a day I hope to forget) After waiting one year, I received an email reply stating I did NOT get Hungarian citizenship. They lost my birth certificate and the answer was given to the wrong Embassy 7 months ago. I am PISSED. I have ...
I'm not really sure on the break in citizenship, but there was/is a requirement of having lived in Hungary for a certain amount of years. It's been awhile since I looked at the "requirements". I know my father was born in modern ... Read More

Have you tried e-mailing the Slovak National archives and inquire, I'm sure they must have a contact number? I know the Hungarian archives have older records, not modern day Hungary ones. I got one of mine from the Embassy, ages ago, though it ... Read More

Blonder, Dang it, I think I just lost everything I just replied with. Nevertheless, I have copies of every piece of correspondence, e-mail, forms, documents, names, numbers and when I spoke to them. I really can't afford the lawyer route, but ... Read More

Blonder, As to the original paperwork luckily, the only original document I had to submit was my marriage cert., with the copy I translated in Hungarian. The consulate made copies of everything at our appointment. There is one thing that crossed my ... Read More
