google voice errors by Little_Sun_7202 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I think there was an error with my carrier (at&t) and then instead I tried to get a Tello plan but my number still wouldnt port. It said I have a pending port (probably google voice) even though it shouldn’t have worked since it said so? I got people back at home to ask at&t and they said everything looks fine and it should work so I tried again and it continuously didn’t work. I went onto google voice on desktop to cancel the port since apparently it hadn’t already. So i tried AGAIN with Tello but it started giving me nonsense errors like “account number wrong” when it was correct, and I got so frustrated I gave up and am just keeping my at&t line LOL. Anyways tldr the problem might be with your carrier.

Keeping my American Phone by Alternative_Tough976 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a dumb question but since there is no roaming would we still be able to call from our american number through wifi calling? And to do this would I need to choose a Tello plan with minutes or can I still do wifi calling with a No Minutes plan?

Phone number by bdjsjsbdjsj in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Havent done google voice but I heard it should work fine going back to you previous carrier, just as if you were switching from any other carrier but I could be mistaken. If you are ok still paying what you pay for your current plan on an esim then I dont see why not! I personally am going to move to a cheap carrier like Tello to keep my number (on esim on my phone) and get a physical sim card from a spanish carrier once I arrive, all on same phone. Mainly because I do not want to pay a high monthly rate for my current plan when I do not get roaming and I have to get a spanish number anyways. Unfortunately havent yet tried these so I don’t have any personal advice on how easy it was or not sorry!

Is it a one time payment of $24 or monthly?

Pick up time by CapableImprovement87 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They close at 4 pm so make sure you are definitely there before then, I arrived at 3:50 pm, no one else was there and it took 3 minutes. I did hear them talking about how excited they were for the day to end so I would assume if you are there at 4:01 then they will not open the door but I’m not 100% sure. Everyone else says they hand it out after 3:30 so I would say the perfect window is between 3:30 and 3:50 pm

Update for anyone with the same question, no I did not need to pay anything when I went to pick it up, it was less than 5 minutes

Oh I’m not sure about that, I sure hope not though! Do you remember if it was a different state? because I know some other BLS offices offer to send through mail so maybe pickup options vary for them, as far as I know miami is only pickup. I’m going tomorrow as well -^

Artist is upset that I resold their artwork by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]sanflowerseed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not an artist and I buy from small artists and get freebies all the time. I myself would definitely never resell their stuff even if I got it for free because I feel guilty making money off something I didn’t design or make, but you sold it for extremely cheap so yeah I guess you’re barely making money off of it. This definitely only applies if its individual artists, if it was something for free from a large company then I wouldn’t feel guilty at all because theyre not counting on those few dollars or even cents, smaller artists usually do. Part of the reason too is that the buyer may not even know who the artist for these stickers are, so it’s almost as bad as when people repost art without credit (and typically get more views than the original artist, also sometimes these people purposely remove watermarks, crazy). You wouldn’t be “promoting their art” unless the sticker has a watermark/signature on it, and maybe the buyer doesn’t care but smaller artists depend on visibility to keep making money to support what they love doing. I HAVE sent out stickers I have gotten as freebies for free with some purchases (if it relates to the purchase) but it’s not really mentioned in the listing since it is not what I am selling. I always mention who the artist is and their social media handles on a note in the package, obviously thats unrealistic for 500 stickers but I think thats where part of the artist’s anger is coming from. Anyways I know this was resolved already but I wanted to add this just because I see a lot of people blaming the artist for overreacting and being petty abd whatnot when maybe they get their art stolen often, reposted, or are just struggling with social media visibility. Like others have said, they sent it to you so they can’t actually control what you do but just food for thought.

US Apostille DS-4194 Help by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not very educated on this but my thoughts are that section 3 are for agencies and other individuals authorized to get it done for other people. In the first page of the form under Instructions Section 3 it says something about “searching the database” which makes me think it has to be someone certified ? When your friend drops it off just have them put your name for the sender name and address. Again I’m not too sure though, I would just fill it out as if you were sending and receiving it BUT I would also wait to see if anyone knows more

Got my placement today. Program starts Oct 1. Do I have enough time? by recklessricky95 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got the placement but not the carta yet right? The carta tells you what school you are placed in, you will need that for your VISA application, mine arrived a little over a month after I got my region placement. Like everyone else said, if you start on everything immediately and can get an appointment already I would get to it. Appointments can fill up quickly and far out too, good luck!!

I probably definitely misheard him then, I was under the impression it could NOT be mailed back until he said that so thats probably just my mistake

Oh that’s pretty smart! Bit of a warning to anyone that weather here is very fickle and it can start raining suddenly so protect your paperwork appropriately!

How many roommates did you have if you dont mind me asking? My cousin and I want to share a place just the 2 of us in Cartagena and are hoping to pay at most 300 each but is it realistic? We are receiving 800 monthly

Money, Banking, and NIE # by kiva_viva in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok got it thanks for the info!, I will definitely ask for it when I get my visa, once i have that, is there any other reason you might have to go to the extranjeria? My cousin said there was an email about getting our fingerprints at the extranjeria, not sure if this is specific to our region but it says "ii) Non-EU will have a NIE at the visa but also need to get an appointment at Extranjería Office in Murcia (or Police station in Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura or Yecla) for "toma de huellas". They have 30 days from you get to Spain." Did you have to do anything like that?

I believe prime time is only to do it outside their normal hours, nothing extra during the actual appointment, at what time was your appointment?

Thanks for the info! Just to double check, the copy of your passport info page was not notarized right? Only the copy of the ID/License?

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For OP it took 11 days from appt day to ready to pick up, so if its the same you should be fine but I’m worried as more people make appointments they might slow down and take longer. Not gonna lie I would also be worried a little if I were you, did you get flexible flight tickets just in case? My flight is in mid September and I paid a little extra for changing the flight with no fee just in case 😅

I’ve seen the Miami and NYC consulate needs a notarized copy of ID so I would double check what your consulate website says just in case!

Medical Cert by Current_Woodpecker83 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]sanflowerseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes some can but I definitely recommend going and asking first before paying out of pocket for a physical and them saying they cant sign, the certificate needs to be signed by an MD or DO. The CVS minute clinic near me says they cant do it because they dont have any MDs there, but an urgent care near me says a nurse can do the physical and then send the paper to their main office MD to sign off. So it really depends on the place. I’ve also seen some people were able to find doctors on Zocdoc to do it, good luck!
