“This will vary by province so to get relevant advice, you’ll need to include where you live.”

“The tie is straightforward. But the residency decision the card is issued on is the problem.
Now did you apply for residency, or apply for the foreigners identity card (Tie)”

“I got the favorable in almost 4 months”

“Text this number: +34 600 124 377 your personal NIE # like so:

NIE A1234567B (example)

-I texted it and within a few minutes it will say- favorable, en trámite, or denegado. I didn’t receive my favorable letter for almost 3 weeks after I had texted. So at least if it’s favorable, you can start trying to get the cita to take fingerprints. In total I had my result in 3 months. Good luck”

“My husband is the Family Member of the EU Citizen (me). Our attorney in Madrid told us to expect 4-5 months for processing when we submitted his application materials in early July. We’re still waiting at about the 2-1/2 month mark.”

“I’m in Madrid and it took around 4 months or so”
