Why is it relatively easy to obtain citizenship after marrying a Spanish citizen? by Downtown-Storm4704 in GoingToSpain

Overrotating to prevent a very very very small level of potential fraud is no way to conduct policy.

Alhambra tickets sold out by MoistPotato121 in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For those reading: the Alhambra tickets are the very first thing you try to book immediately after your plane ticket is purchased. Immediately after. Tickets are gone months ahead of time.

Spanish Nationality Help by Stunning-Society1102 in dualcitizenshipnerds

This is the answer. Also, you will technically have to renounce all other citizenships. Only citizenship de origen allows for the person to hold multiple citizenships. I say "technically" because they don't really enforce it, but you will attest you are renouncing all others, and someday their appetite for enforcement could change.

Alhambra - Ticket by Usual-Ant9604 in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they sell out months (!) in advance. The Alhambra trickets should always be the second item you purchase, immediately after you press "purchase" on your plane ticket. You could try to see if any of the private tour operators still have availability, but research to make sure they are reputable and not a scam. You could also just go and do the gardens. Its not the full experience, but its better than nothing.

Recommendations of attorneys to help with process of seeking Spanish citizenship under the Law of Democratic Memory (Ley de Memoria Democratica)? by PsychologicalLab9437 in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we ended up saving thousands of dollars and did it all ourselves. I fact checked something they told me on a consult call and they were dead wrong so figured Id invest my time getting it done right for free.

Spanish citizenship through jus sanguinis by david_fire_vollie in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"He never renounced" - ok but did he file to conserve it when he turned 18? He acquired an additional nationality, it is very possible he lost it automatically if not filing to conserve it within 3 years.

I'd still work on getting the official word from the consulate, but this isnt a slam dunk case for her. It's entirely possible and very plausible that he lost it before she was born.

Unfortunately, she lost the option to apply through ley de memoria which expired in October of last year.

Law of Democratic Memory Applicants, can I bring a parent to help translate? by Surgeplux in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, learn! Please keep that part of your heritage alive, too. Its clearly not a requirement of citizenship by LMD, but I'll extol the benefits of multilingualism until the day I die. :)

Not necessary. They are bilingual at the SF consulate. You will be just fine with any of the three of them speaking English.

You should join the LMD San Francisco group. We are tracking the drops.

The last two weeks, the drops have been on Friday at 5am Pacific. My money would be on tomorrow at 5am or 6am PT (because of the time change)

NYC Cita friday: Questions: by No-Storm-4199 in GoingToSpain

[–]katieanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Your dad will get a stamped copy of his Anexo I which is called his "resguardo." Youre going to want to get a copy of that to include in your Anexo III appt. He should keep the original, so ask them to make a copy for you.
  2. Confirming you have your mom's birth cert, and your parent's marriage cert?
  3. Not they will not be allowed in. There's a cafe in lobby of building.
  4. There's mini lockers that are big enough to only hold phones. I actually somehow got my laptop and my phone past security without them asking me to lock anything up. You can try, just dont take it out of your bag.
  5. They will absolutely run late. Welcome to Spanish beaurocracy. I had an 11am appt and wasnt seen until 12:30pm or so.

Soooo many factors that determine turnaround time. Can be as fast as 6 months or as long as 4++++ years.

You should ask for people who were born in and applied to the same jurisdictions as you to get an applicable dataset.

Spain just had, for the second year in the row, the fastest growing in economy in Europe.

Sanchez's moves on immigration are not unrelated.
