If you’re in the process of applying for extraordinary regularization in Catalonia, you may have wondered who ensures that everything goes smoothly. This week, the Government Delegation in Catalonia wanted to publicly recognize the work of attorneys specializing in immigration law and other professional associations involved in the process. The meeting served as an opportunity to take stock of the first few days since the application period opened on April 16.
The meeting, held on Tuesday, April 21, brought together the Government Delegate, Carlos Prieto, with the Dean of the Barcelona Bar Association (ICAB), Cristina Vallejo, and other representatives. Also present were the deputy delegate in Barcelona and members of the associations of administrative managers and labor relations specialists. The goal: to coordinate the implementation of a process that affects thousands of people and which, according to the authorities, must be carried out with rigor and legal certainty.
So what does this mean for you? It means that when you consult a lawyer about your case, you’re not dealing with a mere intermediary. Behind the scenes is a licensed professional, bound by a code of ethics and covered by professional liability insurance. The Government Delegate made it clear: these professionals are “essential allies” who can guide you and instill confidence in a complex process. It’s not a favor—it’s your right to receive assistance with guarantees.
The dean of the ICAB emphasized that “having a legal professional on your side is always a guarantee.” Immigration lawyers have the specific training to advise you and help you avoid mistakes that could delay or jeopardize your application. In addition, the bar association is holding regular meetings with the Ministry of Inclusion and the Immigration Office to improve the process. Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22, they have organized an online training session at 9:30 a.m. to bring attorneys up to date.
If you’re in the middle of this process, don’t rush to submit your paperwork without professional help. Find a licensed immigration attorney, ask if they’ve attended recent training sessions, and make sure they’re familiar with the details of the extraordinary regularization process. The government recognizes that it needs these professionals for everything to run smoothly; you should take advantage of their expertise as well.
