Who reviews your fileFormer Deputy Director of the Directorate General of Migration and Immigration · 12 years in practice
Step 01

Gather documents

Apostilled and officially translated records, ready before the appointment.

Step 02

Appointment and filing

Registration with Immigration and submission of the application.

Step 03 — where it slows down

Prevención (document requests)

Immigration can request missing or corrected documents within a fixed deadline. Missing that deadline is one of the most common reasons a case stalls.

Step 04

Resolution

Notification of the decision on the application.

Step 05

DIMEX in hand

Appointment, fingerprints, and issuance of the document.
