My story is a bit complicated..
My boyfriend has just obtained his Spanish residency here in Spain (his mother is married to a Spanish citizen and has full residency in spain so she was able to claim him). We arrived here in Spain a month and a half ago with intentions of living here and we were told at the registro civil in Girona that the only way i could obtain the residency as well is if we got married here in Spain the only problem is that i have to wait 1 year in order to be able to process any papers to gain legal residency.
When we asked for more information they wouldnīt give it to us and would only say that they didnīt know anything.
now our biggest concerns is if we do get married am i still going to be considered an illegal here in Spain? We already know that i wonīt be able to do anything here without residency but we donīt know anything about whether or not i will still be considered an illegal immigrant.
we would greatly appreciate any information that anyone has on this issue.
