@ jonilo4lov,

If someone hadn't used your doc over the border of Spain then we would hope they don't have same data on your passport and that it's an e-passport so you could go far fighting this. Spanish authority has a considerate immigration service so you'd be able to clear this mix up. I'd advice you use a Spanish immigration lawyer and a spanish contact who would act as your point of correspondence and push them to be faster and more serious where necessary. If you don't have any, I could write you some contact info of a few lawyers but I can't promise to follow it for you so you must find someone in Spain who would.

The author said the Aunt is married to a Spanish national so that makes her a spouse of an EU citizen. The application proceedure for a "non spanish resident" bringing in a spouse is different from a "Spanish national" (or EU national) bringing in a spouse. Now for being married to an EU/ Schengen spouse, your visa application is absolutely free of charge. If the visa is issued and while in Spain, you are required to go and apply for an EU family member residence card and this card is valid for 5 years there after. In this type of reunification, your spouse in Spain can not apply for you prior to your entry or your own personal application in your home country. However, he can send you an invitation letter stating you have to join him or her in Spain while you already have the acceptable proof of family membership stated by the Eu/ Schengen council.  Mind you this is a blue card EU family member long stay kind of residence and nothing like the "residencia inicial temporal" you stated. If you would rather want to know what that one means I can explain to you on a different note. I hope this helps.

By the way uzoo , am sure your Aunt gets more information from the spouse anyway.

She can apply for a spouse visa, which by the way is free of charge like you said. When she comes to Spain she would have to apply for a family member residence card. As she is the principal person, she has to be in Spain to apply for the residence card with the foreign police in the city where she is registered to reside. Would you need more elaboration, please ask specifically and I will tell you everything you need. If it is hard to get an appointment, she can contact or ask the husband to contact the foreign office.

@ ROSSIKE,

My dear friend I doubt if the lady broke the contacts cos of your nationality. Like you said, If she was working in the reception of the resort where you stayed, then she would have checked your data as soon as she picked interest in you. Or didn´t the Resort register your ID or passport during check in?

@webprince:

Did you verify with them yet? How did it go?

@webprince:

[b]I think people still have a chance to research and supply materials on their own during visa applications like it was said in the begining of this forum .I will only advice that, If u want a students visa or a summer placement visa, it´s advicable to try the new EU countries (except malta and cyprus) it will also be wise to seek from bulgaria and romania as they just opened up more for international students while you also can easily switch to any other EU country after some time depending on your programme and how you elect it. The new schengen countries (except malta and cyprus) are also easier than the older ones cos they have various visa types and make it easier for you to go into any of the older ones you might have had in mind later. It should be noted that there is no boarder control within these schengen countries even if you come by flight through other schengen countries. I don´t know how else I can help other than posting this in addition to the helpful contributions all of you have made. Just ask any confusing questions you might have and I will follow up with a reply.[/b]
