That is why the first consultation is there to spot bottlenecks before they delay the process.

Important Notes

Timeframes are estimates

They depend on the workload of the offices and the quality of the file submitted.

Official fees are separate

State fees, apostilles and translations are itemised in writing before you sign.

Each member has their own file

When the family travels, the cases advance in parallel under a joint plan.

The process can start remotely

Much of the documentary preparation is resolved before you travel.
