Help with Spanish citizenship by marriage. Anyone have experience?

Hi all. I received my Spanish residency with EX24: la residencia temporal de familiar de ciudadano español inicial. I got it last year Around November 2025. I recently just got married in May. I already have a TIE card. So have anyone have gotten Spanish Citizenship with this method?

  1. Do I have to update my TIE card to Married?

  2. How long did the whole process take for you?

  3. Do I need a lawyer or myself is fine?

  4. Do I need to prove sufficient funds if they didn’t request it when I got the TIE with EX24?

  5. I was born in China but I am a US citizen. I can’t get the original Chinese birth certificate but I can provide a Apostilled and translated U.S. naturalization certificate that proves my birth? I did this for my marriage since I didn’t have a birth certificate. Is it okay?

  6. I’ve been out of the country total of 3 months since I’ve been granted residency. Is it fine? I’ll have to go back to the US again to do my FBI background check and naturalization certificate again.. totaling 5 months out of the country. Is that ok? 😅 It’ll be 1 year since I’ve gotten my residency in November this year 2026. Then it’ll be Year 2 starting from then. I’ll be okay go apply for citizenship in May.

2006 Opel astra gasoline 13.2V when driving

Hey, shouldn’t my voltage when driving be higher? It fluctuates between 13.0-13.2 when driving… little bumps or turns makes it drop to 13.0-13.1. I thought it should be like 14? Please assist.

New battery last year as well.

if you get married in a foreign country in the EU like France or Spain do you need to file as married in the US?

I'm a US citizen, if i get married in a EU country do i need to file as married back home for my taxes in the US or can i just put single since it has nothing to do with it?

Is it possible to chargeback a transaction for 6-7 years ago?

To give context: I bought a trading course that was supposed to be a lifetime but I lost access after 2 years.. I emailed the guy and messaged on Snapchat and Instagram and eventually got blocked. My info wasn’t in the database anymore…

It was lifetime access..

I paid through PayPal with my Bank of America credit card

Hey, I’m leaving May 17th for my flight and I don’t think there’s enough time to do my visa here in the states… I do have residency in another country, could I do it there if I cancel the application here? Does it affect anything??

I submitted April 27 and on Thursday night it said rejected and to be modified because I didn’t fill out my job position duty… now it says application date 30th.. do I have time to do it? Literally 10 business days only. I can’t extend my flight.

So context is I already have a flight from Los Angeles to France on May 17th and I sent in my application a couple of days ago but it’s still in preliminary. I need the visa done asap bc I was going to go from France to China…

They’re asking for a flight as proof if I want it for emergency or proof of an ill relative and proof of relationship..

Can I just explain that I’ll leave to France and already have my ticket to show them? What do I do..
