Roe,in the states, if you go with your wife to the consulate and fill out the forms, it will take about two weeks for the libro de familia, 5 minutes to fill out the paperwork and two weeks for them to mail it to you, maybe less, as for residency, I'm not real sure. They told me to come back within a month of leaving for spain, which would be december, but I don't know if that means it will be ready for pick up then, or if that's when they would process it and get it to me within a month,OR, maybe that's when they give me my final paperwork, the F-U 180 and send me home.
