Desparately Seeking Visa Information - Student

2011-07-06T04:00:07Z

I am hoping someone out there can help me.

I am scheduled to travel to Madrid for a semester abroad on August 27th, 2011. I received my acceptance letter at the end of May; the semester ends January 20th, so I will be there more than 90 days. In mid June, I logged into the Spanish Consulate Visa Scheduling site…the first available appointment was AUGUST 24th!! We booked it, but I am learning that they want to keep your passport for up to 7 weeks, and I am supposed to leave three days later. I have called the consulate 12-15 times and left messages, but no one will return my call. I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know anything about the visa process. I live in NY, about a 6 hour drive to the Spanish consulate in New York City, which is the one I am serviced out of. Please help, I am desparate!!! Thank you!!

Hi everyone. I am moving to Spain next June permanently. I am a complementary therapist and undertaking a level 7 diploma in advanced therapies before I leave, I’ve been trying to find out wither I could sit my degree in Spain, if they have the course and how funding works if there is any. Also i have looking into my daughters education I feel so far that state school doesn’t seem to step up, is it to the standard of main stream school in the UK? As it is my 1St priority. Also with regards to tax as a lone parent how would it work is it the same as the UK? medical insurance for my daughter how would that work.

thanks

Hi all,

I appreciate anyone that can help me ASAP. I had my residency card stolen at a festival here in Switzerland. I have been searching for hours now on the internet as to how I can get a replacement but cannot find any information. I am on holidays for the next months in Europe and do not wish to return to Spain until the end of Summer. Please can someone tell me how to have it replaced from outside Spain??

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I am a 6 year old English Bulldog looking for a new family to adopt me. My family are moving back to the UK, they would love to take me with them but it is not possible. I am very loving and affectionate, a great companion, I am also a great guard dog, I am great with children and other animals. I love my walks and being made a fuss of. I am micro-chipped, I love travelling in the car. Please do not criticise my family, this is heartbreaking enough for them as it is, this decision has not been easy or made in haste. PLEASE will somebody love me as much as they do !!!! We are running out of time. love from Harley x

NIE DNI NIF SS#

2011-06-29T11:05:28Z

¡Hola

He leído el mensaje diferente / NIE y artículos sobre la residencia y estoy un poco confundido. Me leído con anterioridad que era mejor esperar 2 años antes de solicitar la residencia si viven aquí ilegalmente. Leí hoy que un inmigrante debe solicitar un NIE y puede solicitar un NIE antes de aplicar para la residencia para que pueda solicitar / obtener un trabajo. Estoy confundido, quiero tomar las medidas adecuadas puede alguien por favor avise. He estado aquí en la actualidad en España durante 6 meses, tengo un número de Seguro Social y se han ido al “empadronamiento”.

Gracias de antemano por su ayuda!

Hello

I’ve read different post’s/articles on NIE and residency and am a little confused. I previously read it was best to wait 2 years before applying for residence if living here illegally. I read today that an immigrant should apply for a NIE and can apply for an NIE prior to applying for residency so that you can apply/get a job. I’m confused, I want to take the right steps can someone please advise. I’ve currently been here in Spain for 6 months, I have a Social Security Number and have gone to the “empadronamiento.”

Thanks in advance for your help!
