How I work

Applications go through the Questura di Catania and the Prefettura di Catania – Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione. When a decision is negative, the deadlines to challenge it are short.

I check the requirements before every step and, if needed, challenge refusals before the competent court. I can work with you in English, Italian or Albanian.

Catania has its own Court of Appeal and a detached section of the Sicilian Regional Administrative Court, separate from Palermo’s.

Common situations

A permit renewal pending at the Questura di Catania
A refusal or revocation to challenge
A family reunification application at the Prefettura di Catania – Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione
A citizenship application that has stalled
An expulsion order to contest within the deadline

Competent offices

Police headquarters (Questura): Questura di Catania
Prefecture: Prefettura di Catania – Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione

Questions

Where do I challenge a permit refusal in Catania?

Usually before the TAR Sicilia – Sezione staccata di Catania, within 60 days of notification. For permits on family grounds, the ordinary court has jurisdiction instead. Check the deadline immediately on the decision you received.

Can you handle my case from Pistoia if I live in Catania?

Yes. Most of the work is done on paper and online; I arrange to attend any hearings and appointments that require it.

Which languages can we use?

English, Italian or Albanian.
