3 months no response — silencio administrativo
What happens if there is no answer after 3 months?
"Silencio administrativo" kicks in. Depending on your application type, silence counts as approval or as rejection.
Which applications get approved by silence?
Work, non-lucrative, and long-term residence renewals are typically approved. First applications and arraigo are typically denied.
If denied by silence, is it final?
No. The office can still review and approve later. If you don't want to wait, you can take your case to court for judicial review.
