Before You Hire Italian Citizenship Assistance (ICA) for Citizenship Help, Read This First
This site shares one customer’s documented experience (using the name
“Jane”) and a practical checklist to help others avoid costly delays, document
risk, and refund headaches when pursuing jure sanguinis (citizenship by
descent).
Updated: February 9, 2026
A simple goal: protect people from preventable harm
Jane reports paying thousands of dollars for “start-to-finish” Italian citizenship assistance from ICA.
She says the work never happened — and that she was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement in order to get her own family documents back.
The red flags to watch for
If any of these show up, slow down and get answers in writing:
Vague “full service” promises without itemized detail
Requests for documents without a written custody and return policy
Long delays without measurable and defined timelines or milestones
Frequent staff changes and no identified or accountable supervisor
Refund terms that are unclear, conditional, or change midstream
Pressure to sign an NDA tied to document return, account closure and refund
Nonexistent office locations, mailboxes, and third-party handling not disclosed
upfront
What you can do right now if you are already in progress with a service
You are not alone. Start here:
Put every request in writing
Ask for a full status report and an itemized list of deliverable dates
Request a document inventory, including where originals are stored
If you need your originals back, request a return timeline and tracking
Save everything: invoices, emails, portal screenshots, shipping receipts
