Historical memory law application
Hello. I am an American citizen who is looking to gain Spanish citizenship via the Ley memoria/Historical memory law, and have a few questions as the local consulates are not responding:
1. the written law is rather short, and I am proving exile status by the birth of children outside of Spain (in Cuba) during the specified years- is the application solely reviewed on the submitted materials against the law? there are many missing documents from this era.
2. am I to assume I would get the original documents back after a decision is made? (this is not explicitly stated- just that i would get a receipt), as I will be going through much trouble to get official documents from Cuba.
3. I am applying as a grandchild of an exile- if this were to be accepted, what is the actual deliverable/documentation I receive? would I then have to apply for a DNI, resident visa and passport (concurrent or otherwise)? What is the order of the necessary applications if my goal is a Spanish passport?
any help is greatly appreciated!
thank you.
