I copy a link recommended by a colleague of mine:

I have a very young relative a few years ago he wanted to leave for Egypt. He wanted to go home for a summer to see his girlfriend, breathe the sea air of Alexandria, stroll along the seafront, talk a bit 'of dialect with old friends. Then, in September, would return to his life as an immigrant.
My relative, call Abdullah at the time was not allowed to stay, but only the receipt of his application for regularization. His fear was of not being able to return to Italy in the late summer and remain stuck at the border because of that stupid piece of paper. I offered to accompany him to the police station to ask directions. There are already gone, he said, they told me no problem. Make sure that you understand, I replied.
It was my first time. Thanks to my father, who emigrated to Italy in the seventies, I had citizenship before they were able of discernment. But the experience was useful.
We made at least one hour in a row with dozens of other immigrants of different origins and ages. Then, when it was our turn, a clerk from the face of the most listless I've ever seen has turned a "hmmm?", Without even looking up from his desk. The
I explained the problem, and he said succinctly: "You can not do."
"But how? He has already called and told him that there is no problem. "
"You are wrong."
"But how? He came here, the police station. You can not give wrong information. Excuse me, us that he is quiet and then remained stuck in Egypt because of your information? ".
'Well, so do not party, right? ". In
rule or not?
After this experience I am not surprised when I read in the papers that the amnesty Maroni launched September 1, 2009 contain traps for immigrants.
The measure allows employers to regularize the situation of foreign workers employed in white. Normally, employers of workers without a residence permit or a residence permit expired risks from one month to three years in prison and a fine of five thousand euro. With the amnesty provided by the law number 102 of 2009, however, confessing the non-compliance could be formalized without consequences, a new employment relationship. Hundreds of thousands of workers waiting to be finalized since the last amnesty, in 2002, they finally had their chance.
But there was a contradiction. According to Article 14 of the Bossi-Fini law, disobeying a deportation order is a serious crime which provides for mandatory arrest. Thus, there remained a doubt: foreign workers who had not complied with the deportation order could be regularized or not?
Who asked him, the interior ministry says it is. Thus, thousands of people have decided to apply for regularization. But then the police stations have received different information from the Interior Ministry. Result: many foreign workers who have come forward to address the matter to the police station have unwittingly autodenunciati, and were expelled, not even able to request the help of a lawyer.
In the end, Abdullah was lucky. Randa Ghazy
