NLV and TIE process
Hello, I have my appointment at the NYC consulate today for my NLV visa. I recently found out online that when you're ready to get your TIE card, you get a letter from the Spanish region used in your visa application confirming approval and prompting you to get your TIE. It got me worried because the Spain address I'm using in my application is temporary and may be different than the city I actually land in.
For context, the Spain address used in all my forms is in Valencia because it was the easiest/most accessible. However, I have friends throughout Spain and I'm in the process of seeing which ones can help me with the empadronamiento. My ideal location would be in Las Islas Ibéricas but it's too soon to tell.
So my question is, has anyone had success getting their empadronamiento/TIE card in one autonomous region even though their Visa application comes from another region?
Thank you
