EL DERECHO MIGRATORIO
CIUDADANÍAS Y VISAS

WHAT IS INMIGRATION LAW AND HOW IT IS CONNECTED TO CITIZENSHIP AND VISAS?

Immigration Law comprises the body of rules that regulate the entry, stay, and departure of individuals in and out of a country. Its purpose is to manage migratory movements, protect the rights of migrants, and ensure compliance with the law. Citizenship is the legal bond that connects an individual to a state, granting full rights and responsibilities within that country. A visa, on the other hand, is a temporary permit allowing a foreign national to enter and remain in a country under specific conditions. Immigration Law governs both the issuance of visas and the legal processes surrounding the acquisition or loss of citizenship, ensuring that every person can exercise their rights and duties according to the law

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Can I start my European citizenship process if I don’t have all my ancestors’ documents?
Yes. In many cases, it is possible to reconstruct your family tree and retrieve missing documents through civil registry and church archives in Argentina and Europe. Our firm handles the entire document recovery process, including certified translations and apostilles.

2. How long does it take to obtain a work or residence visa abroad?
Timelines vary by country and visa type, as well as the completeness and accuracy of your application. For instance, a Canadian work visa may take 3 to 6 months, while an Australian student visa can be issued in 30 to 60 days. We provide a precise estimate after evaluating your case.

3. Do I need to travel to the destination country to start the process?
Not always. Many citizenship and visa applications can be initiated remotely through consulates, embassies, or official online platforms. Our firm offers full legal representation throughout the process and guides you on when and how to attend in-person appointments if required.

4. What if my application was denied or is delayed—can I appeal or start over?
Yes. In most cases, there are legal avenues to appeal administrative decisions or correct issues that caused delays or denials. We analyze your prior case and develop a new legal strategy to improve your chances of success.

5. Do you offer remote services or only in-person consultations?
We offer both. We serve clients across the country and abroad through video calls, email, and secure document-sharing platforms. In-person consultations are also available by appointment at our office.
