Visa assistance - worst nightmare!
We bought a house in Spain and completed on 1st April. Prior to moving over we applied for a non-lucrative visa - my mum's was accepted but my husband's and mine was rejected on the basis that we weren't able to support ourselves financially which we are. So I emailed a solicitor here to help us with an appeal. In the meantime we have moved here on the basis that our appeal would be sorted out within our three month window. The person dealing with it all was less than forthcoming and subsequently our time for the appeal runs out in a couple of days. I also emailed the Spanish consulate in London but they only got back to me yesterday, after three emails. I have spoken to a solicitor in UK who wants to charge £1100 plus VAT each plus disbursements to reapply as he says there is no time to appeal now!
Our rejection letter stated that we had one month to appeal to UK or two months to appeal to the High Court of Justice in Madrid. I think we still have the second option open to us. Has anyone encountered this problem or had to appeal via the HCJ as I just don't know what to do!
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
