"I'm not even worried about that as far as that goes," Joe, the husband of The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, told People. "That, we'll worry about when I get out."
Joe has reportedly been living in the United States with his family since age 1, however, he never officially acquired his citizenship.
On an episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In, the family's attorney James J. Leonard Jr. asked Joe about the situation.
"If, God forbid, you had to go, do you see Teresa and the girls moving to Italy with you?" Leonard Jr. asked, according to People.
Joe, 43, insisted he previously discussed the potential circumstance with Teresa, also 43, before noting, "Of course she would."
But at the end of the day, Joe said, "I consider myself an American."
The couple was sentenced to jail time in October 2014 after pleading guilty to three counts of bankruptcy fraud as well as and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud as part of a plea deal to resolve their 41-count federal fraud indictment.
Teresa and Joe's prison arrangements were made so that one parent could always be with their four daughters -- Gia, 15, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 10, and Audriana, 6.
