Residencia denied

Hi Skeenan9,

I'm sorry to hear of you situation.  Before denying an application, the Foreigners' office usually asks for additional information - did that happen with you?  In any event, I don't understand why your lawyer isn't progressing an appeal for you.  

I'm not recommending this company, as I have no personal experience of them, but I think their explanation of the appeals process is clear:

I think you should ask your lawyer to lodge an appeal.

Good luck!

Kind regards,

What are your ages? Did you demonstrate that you had healthcare as at December 2020 ?

Hi Thanks for reply , asked the lawyer says there's nothing they can do , and no wasn't asked for any further documentation,  lawyer phoned me today and told me it had been declined and gave me a number of someone to send a wattapp message to , no help what so ever

Hi showed them we tried to get healthcare through a company in November but , showed solicitor numerous email to them but never received phone call back from them , so unfortunately our healthcare is dated 2021 , 

There is a time limit to file an appeal, ant time is against you. What I would do is file a so called "Recurso de reposición" alledging whatever could help like utilities bills,or any other document relating you to being there, even witnesses (2), i.e. neighbors, milkman, mail receipts etc. Good luck

Hi yeah I've seen it's a month from date of rejection , my concern now is we were only told today but looks like date on the letter is 30/03/21 so looks like we only got 2 weeks to get it in place 

Give Jose at ex pat services a call brother in law was refused and Jose got him accepted on the back of his wife's

All Residencias were originally supposed to be granted by end 2020. 

The extension period into 2021 was provided in recognition of the Covid constraints last year.

From your unfortunate experience, it seems that the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate compliance with the requirements (housing, income, a bank track record evidencing residency, healthcare) as at end 2020.

So it seems that the extension is just a grace period for the admin process, not for meeting the compliance requirements.   

Trying hard to reply because i just can't stop thinking about the 500euro, could you tell me what that was for please? Things obviously have changed in the years because it took me like a few hours for my resistencia but i know the overall cost didnt change and it was nowhere near 500euro and didnt require a lawyer.
