US citizen seeking Nonlucrative Visa via Chicago Consulate (requiring 3 month apartment lease)
Hello, all. I am a retired US citizen seeking to obtain temporary residency in Jarez de la Frontera, Spain, through the Nonlucrative Visa. I studied the requirements, so have a pretty good understnding of what is needed. I do meet the financial criteria. Because of my location, I have to apply at the Spanish Embassy in Chicago. It requires a 3 month apartment lease or someone agreeing to host me and signing a document. I have owned my own home for decades and recently sold it. Now, I live with my daughter. Thus, I have no landlord to give a reference. I really don't want to make a special trip to Spain to look for an apartment. It seems unlikely that anyone would offer me a lease when I may not get the Visa.
I have received my passport. I got my FBI check, had it translated by a sworn translator, and apostilled. It was dated Dec. 12th. I don't know if it is possible to get everything done before it expires. If I get another FBI background check, they say it takes 8 weeks to get it apostilled.
Can someone on the forum advise me?
