Heather, every time you use electric tools, and your hair is down, I freak out! It is so easy to get it tangled and it will be bad. Seen it done it.

I lived in the US for almost 5 years in a provisory status, no permit to leave the country until they issued my residency. It’s not easy. Don’t give up!

Do not worry, it is just a matter of time, the authorities will approve your visas, there are no reasons to reject your application. I think their objective is to make sure you really want to live in Italy.

My husband and I are US expats who also live in Piedmonte. Even though I am a dual citizen who holds two passports the process was not easy. Hang in there….. it is definitely worth it.

There is a big difference here. Your dad was Italian that makes it somewhat easier compare to 2 tourists outside of the EU wanting to get residency.

I'm so proud of you. When your hearts are pure God will bless your dreams. You are inspiring so many people to stay positive and believe in your convictions.

The hard work, trials and tribulation, and constant code-enforced stumbling-blocks will be worth it in the end. If for no other reasons, the views from the home, and the sound of the church bells; that's a beautiful combination....

They will aprove it.

I want to speed to the end to hear about the visa, but I will wait. Suspense is killing...

I think there's some confusion about the D7 and I don't want your watchers to get confused. You can't really convert a Portuguese visa or temporary residency into a residency in Italy as you wouldn't meet the requirement the EU has set to do that. A PERMANENT Portuguese residency can be converted but a TEMPORARY cannot. You must have resided in Portugal for five years in order to successfully convert your residency to Italy. So essentially, you're a temporary resident for two years, you renew for three, then you apply for Permanent Residency in Portugal, THEN you get move to Italy. And Portugal requires you to live in the country for 16 months out of 24 for the first two years you're here. Then the second three years you have to spend even more time in the country. Plus SEF will require you to maintain an apartment/house (with a valid habitation license) appropriate to your family situation with a lease or deed tied to your NIF (tax number) that is registered with Financas. So you'd essentially be locked into Portugal for five years while only being able to be in Italy 4 months of the year for the first two years and even less for the next three years.

What an enormous dedication you have to fix and remodeling the house ! This is Enormously impressive!

OMG, and I thought the FRENCH were difficult!!!!! I'm now going to put Italy in first place. Best of luck you two. I think you should be welcome in any country.

I moved to Paris in '82. The first week there, my stepmother got her purse stolen.

A "lintel" is a horizontal support beam in a house that typically supports a window or a door; a "lentel" is a edible legume. I think I'm hearing the words pronounced interchangeably and they're quite different. If the couple's home is made with lentels, they'll never go hungry but the structure won't be very stable.

If after all this work and hassle they tell you No, it would be a nightmare.

As an American expat living in Mexico, I only have one "no brainer" piece of advice: get your approved residency visa before you make a huge move...common sense, people. It is very arrogant or naive to believe we can just move anywhere we want without repercussions.

Underpinning is the way with these kinds of walls also where there is a straight joint you can cut out some stones in the middle and put a large stone back inn to join walls together wedge and use mortar to build said large stones inn .

I feel bad for you guys it seems like it’s one thing or another but always something and you never get discouraged I admire that a lot I must really love that house I wish you all the best and hopefully from now on it’ll be smooth. Sailing.

I'd say leaving is not the problem, being allowed back in without the appropriate visa is where you will run into your problems. I've been through the whole resident visa hoopla for myself and obtaining dual citizenship for our child and that was an even bigger nightmare. Let your lawyer sort out the "misunderstandings", have everything in place and be confident when you next leave the country that you know what the deal is when you re-enter. Best of luck. Sounds you know what you're doing at least, even if they don't. 😆 Also, so great to see that wall supported!

One of you could enroll to some cheap University and get a student permit, which can later be converted to autonomous working permit "lavoro autonomo".

I pray everything works out for your family!🙏💕

Admire your patience and perspective towards settling into a new country. Best wishes for all you're endeavouring to do👍

I just love that so many Americans is coming to Europe and wants to stay even it can a bit confusing and bureaucratic here (and Mayby Italy is one the top of the list of most bureaucratic EU members 😅) But you’re patience make you great europeans 😊
