I started my jure sanguinis case before the 2025 rule change. Which rules apply to me?

The reform includes a grace provision for people who were already in the queue. If your application was formally lodged, or your consular appointment was scheduled, by the relevant cut-off date in late March 2025, your case is generally evaluated under the prior rules that allowed unlimited generational descent.

Applications filed after that point fall under the new generational limit. Because the exact treatment depends on dates and how your case was lodged, it is important to keep clear evidence of when and how you submitted, and to confirm your situation against the current consular or government guidance.
