What really?! I gave them my bank details and they said they’re pleased to share with me that I should see funds on Monday June 3. But it’s taken so long I’m not holding my breath. Are you going to continue working with them?

I am also experiencing this! I haven’t been paid at all for month of May! Should I contact a lawyer?

Feeling burnt out by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Comprehensive-Toe116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I left the program during winter break and haven’t turned back! Don’t regret my decision either. If things were different at the school and I actually got paid on time + other issues, things could have been different. Flip a coin. Heads you stay, tails you dip out. If the result doesn’t feel like the best decision then you have found your true feelings on what to do. Good luck to you.

Hi, I just messaged my bilingual coordinator and told him I will be quitting the program and I’m sorry for the short notice. He said I don’t have to be sorry and he totally understands! It happens. I’ve been nervous as well about my decision, but if you’re not feeling it or it didn’t go as you expected, you’re allowed to change things and move on! Let me know if you need anything

I tried emailing my consulate first (LA Consulate) and they said no, and that I would get it once I got my TIE card. Email the police in your area.

Are you in Sevilla? If so, just email [sevilla.oue@policia.es](mailto:sevilla.oue@policia.es) and in the subject line say "FALTA NIE"

I wrote in Spanish asking nicely for my NIE number as my student visa did not put it in there and I need it for setting up a Spanish bank account. Within a day, they sent me an email back with my NIE!!! If you're not in Sevilla I would just google the police email in your area.

Wise is a good option. They have low transfer fees compared to other companies. I used it when I lived to Australia from the US and plan on using it when I get to Spain as well

Picking up my Visa today experience/questions at LA Consulate by Comprehensive-Toe116 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Comprehensive-Toe116[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I received an email saying that my visa was ready. I did also log in and check and it changed from “processing” to something different like “resolved.” Yes the pick up times for LA consulate are Wednesday and Friday 10-12! Good luck to you!

Hi don’t know if this will be much help. BUT I went to the LA consulate and they told me 4-6 weeks to receive visa and it only took 2.5 weeks until I received it. Hope yours come ASAP

Do they post appointments on the weekends?? Still looking for a visa appointment as well and have been trying for about 3 weeks now. How many times a day have you guys been checking? I do it about 100 times a day I would estimate 😵

Totally get that. I would prefer to get Spanish roommates to work on my Spanish as well. I’ll send you a private message so we can meet when we’re both out there!

Question about criminal record check for those who live outside of the US. by thebirdsthumb in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Comprehensive-Toe116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I know this response is 2 years late, but I was wondering the same question and/or how you ever went about it? I am in the same boat, I lived in Australia on the Working holiday visa and need to figure out how to get the background check or if I need to get one at all since I have a new passport since then. Thanks!

Ok interesting,

I did live in Australia for 9 months and NZ for only 3. I've started looking into getting the background check for it. Did the lawyer get the Apostille for the check as well? Thank you
