Asturian-American Migration Forum

My father did grow berzas in Pennsylvania for years. I think he probably brought the seeds from Asturias. The plants did very well in PA, but I do not recommend sneaking in seeds today. I really haven't found an exact match here in the US.....Also, I can never find fabes either? I've been to Newark,...

There was the Spanish-American Democratic Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. My parents were members, and i remember going to events all through my childhood. There was a building that had a bar and a banquet room. The club dissolved the late 70's.

The local consulates!!

If you the both of you do not start getting on their backs, they will not move on your case. I had to almost scream at them, and I filed a formal complaint after they lost my father's birth ceritficate. I e-mailed first every week for a month, then I called, and finally I just starting screaming. I ...

I went the Consulate of NYC about a month after receiving my birth certificate. I got my passport in about a week. NYC Consulate is HORRIBLE, but the passport people it was 5 minutes and they sent it to my house and it arrived in a week.

I got my passport and nothing was asked...in fact the passport was easy and I just used it to enter Germany.

They didn't ask anything about our medical conditions...You need to hurry up the deadline is in December.

My understanding of the DNI is that we simply must take our birth certificate from Spain and got to a police station and we need to have proof that we live outside of Spain and they will give you the DNI. There is a form to fill out at the Consulate to show residency in the USA for the DNI. I am not...
