I have searched the forum, so my apologies if this question has already been asked
We submitted our application and applicable documents to the consulate in California for temporary residency. We qualify as both retirees and property owners having purchased new construction last June that is expected to be completed mid-May.
The package was returned immediately with notes on several documents stating they needed to be sent to an apostille and include a letter from a sponsor when we return all the documents. Apostille is a new term to us.
Our documents are back from the apostille and we have reached out to our realtor to see if he could sponsor us. He doesn't qualify and is doing some research on our behalf but I am getting a bit anxious, as we are now hoteling it in the states, but cannot do this forever
Our personal belongings arrive mid to late April and we need to be in Las Terrenas to receive them.
It was suggested that we book our flight and work on finding someone to pen a sponsor letter upon our arrival. But that makes me nervous.
I feel foolish that we have done things out of sequence, and could sure use some guidance or suggestions for how to get a sponsor before we have even fully established ourselves in our new community.
Any thoughts, guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Tracy
