Client Story
Where they started
The family had three people who wanted to formalize their Hungarian roots: Nina Petrovna, who had these roots through her mother, her daughter Elena, and granddaughter Polina. All three form one direct line, from eldest to youngest.
Why the standard route did not work
The first instinct in such cases is for each person to apply separately: grandmother separately, daughter separately, granddaughter separately. It seems simpler. In reality, this is the most expensive and risky path: the same documents are ordered three times, the chain of descent is proven anew for each person, and inconsistencies easily arise - when the same information is written or proven differently among three relatives, raising questions for the authorities.
What BRIDGES had to solve
Yet three generations of one direct line share a common family tree. Nina Petrovna's roots automatically encompass both Elena and Polina: proving descent once and extending it to descendants is far more logical than proving it three times.
Why a standard answer would not do
The family contacted BRIDGES, understanding that one connected case with a shared family tree was more prudent than three parallel applications.
There are three of us - myself, my daughter, and granddaughter, and initially we thought each would apply separately. Sergey talked us out of it: it would cost triple and we could get confused about who proved what. He compiled one family tree for us - from my mother down to me, to my daughter, and to my granddaughter - and guided us all together. We received three passports through one case, without running around and without any inconsistencies.
