What should I do if my Spain visa isn't ready before my trip?
I turned in my application for a student visa to Spain over a month ago, and I'm leaving in less than a week. They had said that I should call the week before I leave, but I only got a recording when I did call. What can I do to get my visa? Or what should I do if it's not ready? I'm from the US. My application is through the DC Consulate. And I need the visa because I'm studying for 6 months

Where are you traveling from?? That might make a diffrence... Usually there is no need to have a Visa to come to spain... (of course it depends on the country...)
2 :
You need to get in contact with the consulate Telephone: 202 - 728 2330 Email: cog.washington@mae.es Maybe they can turn back your passport so that you can travel for three months visa-free and after the visa has been processed they'll send it to the Spanish immigration office of the town you are studying so it can be issued over there. But that is all subject to agreement. Source(s): http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/Washington/es/home/Paginas/Home.aspx

Can I get an apostille of hague at the secretary of state regional office in Los Angeles for a student visa?
Can I get an apostille of hague at the secretary of state regional office in Los Angeles for a student visa?
There is a regional office in Los Angeles and that is where I am going to be in the summer so I was wondering if I could get an apostille of hague there instead of in sacramento. This is for a student visa to Spain. I already sent my stuff to the FBI for the background check.

You can get it done in person in Los Angeles or Sacramento. http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/regional.htm#services .. Request for service by mail must be forwarded to Sacramento. http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/notary/authentication.htm .. Be aware of the fact that your FBI record check may not be older than three months when you apply for the student visa. You can't apply earlier than 120 days and later than 60 days before your planned travel date.

You may need to notarize your FBI background check first to obtain a California Apostille, then you need to go to the County Clerk's office where that notary public is registered and afterwards you need to go o the Secretary of State's office in LA: Los Angeles Regional Office 300 South Spring Street, Room 12513 Los Angeles, CA 90013 (213) 897-3062 Office hours are Monday through Friday - 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding state holidays.

What should i do with my exchange student in Chicago Area?
What should i do with my exchange student in Chicago Area?
Hi, I have an exchange student coming from Spain in a couple days. She will be here for a couple weeks and I was trying to brainstorm ideas of what we could do together. She will be spending most of her time downtown sightseeing and visiting museums and such. I am very busy during the week and taking advanced and AP classes, so i was hoping to make it up to her on the weekends. One day I know we will be going to six flags, and another day we be going to a cubs game. Any suggestions? Thanks (:

any of the museums she will enjoy those just as well
2 :
If the next couple of days are as hot as it was today, she might enjoy going to the beach or to a water park. She might also enjoy visiting some quirky Chicago restaurants, or shopping in your area of Chicago or suburbs.
3 :
Downtown / going to the suburbs to shop . Biking on the lakefront path to Navy Pier. Hanging out with your friends and going out maybe to see a movie or something or going out to eat. Seeing museums that are harder to get to like the Museum of Science and Industry and or the Mexican Fine Arts Museum Visiting different neighborhoods like Chinatown and Lincoln Park and going to your favorite restaurants there. Going to the beach or if that's out of season going to the pool. Chilling at your house hanging out cause she's probably going to be really jetlagged. Going book shopping. Going to McDonalds (like the corporate headquarters one in Oak brook) or Starbucks or something really stereotypically American while your out. Going to the Walgreens in Hyde Park that sells the Obama themed souvenirs or other souvenir places while your out. Going to a play or a concert.

Can I apply for a Student Visa while in Spain on a Travel Visa?
Can I apply for a Student Visa while in Spain on a Travel Visa?
I was wondering if it is possible to get a Travel Visa and then apply for a Student Visa while I am in Spain. I could have my parent send or forward the paper work from the US while I am in Spain if that is a requirement. The reason for wishing to do this, is that I am going to take a CELTA (Cambridge English Teaching to Adults) course and I do not know if it qualifies me for a Student Visa, therefore I must take the course on a Travel Visa and hope to extend my stay with a Student Visa (while I study Spanish at a University) and while doing that, hopefully getting work with the University to tutor English as I will then hold my CELTA certificate.....(I read a post that said you can work with the university while on a Student Visa) I also hope to seek employment in a private EFL or ESL school in Spain while I am on Student Visa. I have heard it is difficult for an American to get a work permit but that it is very possible....If you look hard enough (As some schools are willing to send the proper forms stating that no EU national could fill the position they have) This is some trouble but they say that some schools prefer a native American to teach English if the schools students are planning to work or travel to America. So basically, I hope to travel to Spain on a Travel Visa and take CELTA, then apply for a Student Visa to attend a university (to learn Spanish and hopefully make some money tutoring), during which process I shall be seeking more long term employment and then apply for a Work Visa. Any help with all of this would be far more than greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking any time to help me. EU is a tough nut to crack for Americans (or any non EU's) Good luck to all in the same boat!

No, you have to apply for a student visa before you go there. Forwarding the papers will not work, they do have a record of you entering the zone you know. The US and Europe exchange information all flights and passengers. If you have a student visa you are not allowed to work, that's the whole point of the visa! You can apply for a work permit if you find a job, but you cannot work before that.
