Questions re: Sephardic Jewry, former colonies and work permits
Hi all,
A couple related questions. First, what percentage Sephardic do you have to be to qualify? Any Spanish Jewish past? or does it have to be grandparents?
Second, does the US count as a former Spanish colony?
Third, if you do have one of the former qualifications to get fast-tracked to citizenship once you are a resident, does these qualifications give any help in getting a residential work permit? Right now the work permit seems like the hard part, not the citizenship.
Thanks!
Question regarding Spanish citizenship
Hello, My family on both sides are of Spanish descent and the founding families of New Mexico and California. In fact we still have Spanish land grants in our name awarded to us by the King of Spain. So we are Spanish by blood down the line with very little to no mixing for close to 400 years in the now U.S. former Spanish colonies.
Can you please tell me if the Spanish government would acknowledge it's former colonies in the U.S. provided I can show proof of direct lineage and family names and immigration documents?
