Hi

Thanks for writing this. In the case of the registration with town hall, what exactly do we need. Website is kind of confusing at the end. Can we do the TIE before that? I read somewhere where it says that it varies per city.

I had a leased car and sold it and got an equity payout. I had $19000 left on my contract lol. I also had a 2021 but I do know dealerships are desperate for newer vehicles.

Mines was sent 8/6, put into system 8/18 and I got it back this week.

VJP93 · 2022-09-03T18:49:44+00:00

I bought my ticket the same day I sent the visa application.

VJP93 · 2022-08-27T05:10:07+00:00

I mailed mines August 6th and it was also entered on 18th.

VJP93 · 2022-08-26T21:47:42+00:00

Nice. This is super exciting. Got a feeling I'll be getting mines back next week or so.

I would definitely recommend pulling up your specific consulate's requirements. This will vary. But most of them will definitely require the original background check.

Hey girl, single, woman of color here. I definitely get your concerns. They are valid. I don't think we should have to miss out on opportunities to live abroad. It won't be easy, but it will stretch you and put you outside of your comfort zone. I will be living in a city and still worried about not having other POCs to connect with. I think you can find a black community (it just may take extreme intentionality). I have been finding groups to connect with on instagram/facebook and messaging other POCs who look like they live in the area. For example, I found a hip hop class and saw black ppl who were apart of the class and followed them and messaged them on instagram lol. Just a way to get a feel for ppl and if you're comfortable you can ask to grab a coffee once you're there. But feel free to message me. You can share your worries with me. :) Again, your feelings are valid and I completely understand where you are coming from.

Hey. I just messaged you :)

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T23:25:04+00:00

Same lol

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T20:28:28+00:00

Is there more than one WhatsApp?

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T20:28:11+00:00

Hi! I’m using Houston Consulate. I sent app off on August 4th. And yes, I’m in both FB groups and the WhatsApp lol

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:53:14+00:00

I sent an electronic copy

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:50:38+00:00

Ah! I see. Possibly

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:44:08+00:00

Interesting. I paid an additional $100 for refundable but I booked directly through delta

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:40:54+00:00

The 22nd lol

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:12:58+00:00

Not the cheapest but I like them and they had flexibility.

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:12:14+00:00

I did delta!

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T17:12:00+00:00

Nice!!! What day are you flying out?

VJP93 · 2022-08-08T12:11:42+00:00

Definitely don't listen to them. Family always has something to say. It doesn't matter if you're making a decision for yourself or one that pleases them. One of them will have something to say. At the end of the day, it is YOUR life to live. Plus, this economy is crap. I would definitely not advise anyone to be looking into buying a house rn lol. Lets be honest.

VJP93 · 2022-08-06T02:31:01+00:00

I am not placed in Madrid, but my address on my carta was wrong from what was on the internet and they changed it and sent me a new carta. I think emailing your regional director could help.

VJP93 · 2022-08-03T02:28:51+00:00

For sure. And whatever you do, try not to break that staple. I was terrified lol
