The authorities are not answering me
If the maximum period passes without a reply, in many procedures your application is deemed granted (silencio administrativo); if it is deemed refused, you can appeal at any time.
The general rule
In procedures you start, silence usually means yes, unless a law says otherwise.
«el vencimiento del plazo máximo sin haberse notificado resolución expresa, legitima al interesado o interesados para entenderla estimada por silencio administrativo»
If silence means no
You can appeal at any time from when the silence takes effect.
«Si el acto no fuera expreso el solicitante y otros posibles interesados podrán interponer recurso de alzada en cualquier momento»
