@legal.inportugal: Is your Portuguese nationality application still stuck at IRN? Many applicants have been waiting for months — and in some cases, years — without a final decision. What is important to understand is that administrative delay and legal urgency are not the same thing. If there is a genuine urgent situation, supported by evidence, it may be possible to submit a formal urgency request to IRN. But even when there is no emergency, an excessive delay may still justify a legal analysis to determine whether an administrative court action is appropriate. Each nationality case is different. The correct legal strategy depends on factors such as: * how long the application has been pending; * the current stage of the nationality process; * whether IRN has taken any recent action; * whether there is a concrete urgency; * and the documentation available. At Legal in Portugal, we analyse the case, define the appropriate legal route and structure the action according to the specific circumstances. If your nationality process has been pending for too long, send us your case for assessment.
