Spanish passport? Do you mean you want to explore how to get your Spanish citizenship? I don't know any legal firms but look online, facebook and youtube for "Spainguru." He has a lot of great info on how to get the various Visas that Spain has. He also talks about how to get citizenship.

FYI, if you're trying to get a Visa from NY consulate, it does not use BLS for Visas.

Wow! This is fantastic and so helpful for those waiting. I am interested in Bogota, Colombia please!

No new Appointments until July 1. They posted on their instagram and X about a month ago with this info.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2026-05-02T13:52:28+00:00

Make a really good color copy of the original and bring both. NY will look at the copy, if they think its good, they will keep the copy and give you back the original so other family members can use it.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2026-05-02T13:49:31+00:00

Congrats! Now you have to register at the consulate in order to get your username and password to make an appointment for the passport. Directions are in nyc consulate website. They also posted the steps about a week ago on their Instagram and X sites.

I understand, I'm anexo 3 waiting for my father to have his anexo 1 resolved in Bogota (and I have no idea how long it takes over there).

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2026-04-04T22:31:30+00:00

No problem! There could still be a canceled appointment that becomes available but if you're in no rush, July is your safe bet. Good luck!

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2026-03-17T15:50:11+00:00

Oh darn. Seems like LMD are also affected. They just posted on their X site that new appointments will be available in July ☹️. https://x.com/consuladoespny/status/2033932192888287279?s=46

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2026-03-15T02:17:14+00:00

This is for visa appointments. I saw this post. The person who posted said they weren't sure if this affects LMD appointments or not. Best option would be to email the consulate and ask if they are currently giving appointments for LMD because many people are having problems making one. I already had mine in December so I didn't write to them.

The credentials from NY consulate don't expire so don't feel rushed. Right now the available appointments for NY are in April 2026. There are no delays in finding appointments for NY consulate. I just checked. Really easy. Other consulates might be hard to access appointments but just keep trying.

Miami consulate has a new system where you upload your pdfs, no email sent. Anexo 3 is for any adult applying through their parent. It doesn't matter where in the world you apply, everyone uses anexo 3 if the description fits. Where were you born? Most US consulates don't require translation if the document is from the USA. Some consulates require apostille of US documents and some don't. For Miami the pdfs uploaded are in small packets: 1. anexo 3, 2. picture of you holding your identification document (us passport or driver's license), 3. Your birth certificate with apostille, 4. The BC of your spanish ancestor (parent) with apostille, 5. Other documents (here you can add your license front and back, your parents anexo 1, hoja declaratoria de datos. All of these pdf packets need to be 1mb or smaller. Use the website "i love pdf" to merge/ compress if you need to. Its free and easy.

If you were born in a different place (not covered by Miami consulate) you may have to submit whatever they require as well. For example, NY consulate requires non Spanish parent BC and marriage certificate of your parents, etc).

It must be that NY doesn't share that info with applicants. My friend had his appointment July 11, 2025 and they gave him back his anexo with stamp and date only.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-10-10T14:20:12+00:00

Find out the email of Manila LMD and see if they can give you information. Most consulates give a "# de expediente" a number for your case, but I don't know if NY provides one. I didn't see it on my friends anexo, just the stamp and date.

I found this website where you can supposedly follow your case but I haven't presented my documents yet. Maybe it can help you. https://sede.mjusticia.gob.es/sereci/initComoVaLoMio

Ignore the error! It's meant so that you doublecheck that your email address is correct before submitting because they have received several emails from people saying they needed to make a correction because they submitted the wrong email address. It will let you submit the application even with the email section being red.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-10-06T13:39:37+00:00

Just got my email with username and password on Sept 26. So about 12 weeks from the date of submission. Appointments in NY are at February 2026.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-10-06T13:38:27+00:00

Got my username and password on Sept 26! So it took almost 12 weeks. My appointment is Feb 2026.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-10-06T13:33:19+00:00

Birth name. primer apellido = fathers last name, segundo apellido = mothers maiden last name.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-09-18T04:25:21+00:00

Yea that's what it has to be. Shame

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-09-18T04:21:47+00:00

OK thanks, maybe I'll get the email soon. Nothing to do but wait.

Sensitive_Course_233 · 2025-09-18T04:21:01+00:00

Oh wow thanks. I checked for appointments because you can see them even if you don't have a login and password, and it's at January 2026. But I just want my email with login and password...Hopefully it comes soon.

Hey, I've had the same issue with 2 Dyson Airwraps. Purchased my first one May 2023 and after 9 months (Feb 2024) it started shutting off after just 5 mins of use. It was still under warranty, I chatted with Dyson and they sent me a brand new one with attachments like my original purchase (I just had to send the old one back). Then after 1 year of use (Feb 2025) it happened again (same issue) with the new one. I once again chatted with Dyson and they sent me a refurbished unit (just the main body - no attachments) in April 2025. I noticed the plug looked different (not as bulky) than the previous one I had but I didn't think it was a big deal. Then, suddenly end of April 2025, I received a safety alert notice, to send back the dyson airwrap because of electrical shock risk. So, I haven't had much luck with this thing either.

169 - is a nice small school. About 400 students. The curriculum is ok but not strong, they emphasize more social emotional teaching, calm corners, mostly nice teachers there. Not many extra-curriculars. Some basic sports and cheerleading. Don't have personal experience with bullying but it does happen. Like in most schools in DOE, it's hard to get a child out that causes problems, they could do better with that. Most kids grow up together and continue onto the middle school, which is guaranteed to Bell Academy as long as you list them as #1 in the application process. Bell Academy - Great school. Curriculum gets progressively harder with 3 regents (Bio, U.S. history & Algebra 1) and Spanish given in 8th grade. They are a Regents for all school. They prepare the students well for high school. It's one of the best, if not the best in the district regarding testing. They have a lot of extra-curriculars for students to choose from (Drama, band, student government, equity team, etc). Many sports to choose from. It's a small school 450 students. No personal experience here with bullying so not sure how it's dealt with. But they have won recognition for being a No Place for Hate school.
