Unfortunately we couldn't do the application for his Italian citizenship as he needs to go to Tunisia to issue some documents and have them translated from the Italian Embassy in Tunisia and then stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (something like that).Anyway he just got his Carta di Soggiorno so he's entitled for 10 years residence in Italy. By the way in Italy it takes about 3 years to get the citizenship , after your application, it's very slow. Anyway, thank you for your help John, I think we'll go through the EEA family permit and then we'll see once in the UK. I would like to apply right now but I cannot provide a permanent address in the UK, because I just have a short term rent for now, but when he comes, probably end of April, most likely I will have a different address. Before my departure I think I better give him an invitation letter and my identity card (I'll take my passport with me) so it will be easier, then we will sent all the bank statements we have, which means my 2 bank statements (Italy and UK) and his (Italy), well it's not going to be more than 5000 euros, I hope it will be fine. One more thing, can he write in the application form that he's going to look for a job in the UK and that he intends to stay the whole 6 months, or better not? It looks easy but I'm quite confused,we want to do the right thing. Thanks again!
