¡Spanish Nationality approved in just 5 months!

Our client, Andrea Carlo applied for his Spanish Nationality and two years went by and he did not obtain a resolution.

He then came to us to help him figure out a way to make the process of him getting an answer faster.

We helped Andrea and advised him to do a Demanda Contenciosa Administrativa which is a lawsuit for not obtaining an answer in the one year period.

After we submitted the lawsuit and all of the paperwork, our client obtained an answer in just 5 months and he obtained his Spanish Nationality.

A lot of people are skeptical about this process so we decided to ask our client a few questions for your information:

What is your name and what do you do?

My name is Andrea Carlo and I am a business man. I work and I am responsable of a gourmet tortilla restaurant in Alicante. The restaurant is called Tortillas and it is located in Calle del Teatro 10 in Alicante.

When did you apply for the Spanish Nationality? Which year? Before or after the new law?

I applied for the Spanish Nationality in January of 2016 after the new law was approved. However, my cita was in June 2015 so the older law/norms were applied.

How did you apply? In persono or through the new method online (telemático)?

I went in person to the registro civil in Madrid and turned in my application.

Do you think your file was perfect to turn in? Or did you think so at the momento?

It was not perfect. I had helped from my lawyer Patricia Albitskaya from Sterna Abogados and she helped me so that my file was perfect at the moment I had to apply.

How long did they take to give you an answer when you first applied by yourself?

I waited two years to receive an answer and I never did. They are supossed to give you an answe after 1 year and that is why I decided to do the Demanda Contenciosa Administrativa so that I could speed up the process and get an answer.

Was this method (Demanda Contenciosa Administrativa) your first option?

Yes, I had no ¨número R,¨ and I was at a point where I did not know what else to do.

Were our lawyers clear about what you had to do? Requirements, etc? Were they helpful?

Yes, both lawyers Ainhoa Manero and Patricia Albitskaya were very clear, precise and professional and helped me through the whole process.

Did you have any doubts about this process? Any concerns?

No. My lawyers made me feel very secure in the process.

After our lawyers did the lawsuit, how long did you have to wait for an answer?

I had an answer just 5 months after and my nationality was approved!

Do you recommend this method to other people?

Yes! I obtained an answer much faster. Just make sure you get help!

Would you recommend Sterna Abogados?

Definitely, no doubts about it!

Our client has his Spanish Nationality and he is very happy that he did the Demanda Contenciosa Administrativa and that we helped him in his process.

If you have applied for your nationality and you have been waiting more than a year, we recommend that you also do a Demanda Contenciosa Administrativa.
