I´m working in Valencia right now illegally. I just became illegal a few days ago and have a job for now. There is talk of getting a visa for next fall, but I do not exactly know the steps that need to be taken. I know that I must have a contract that cannot be filled by a EU member. In my case I´m teaching English, but have a specific credential from California. The academy I work for is beginning the process of legally posting the job.

What are the steps from here? I understand I have to return to the states for a period of time to receive the paperwork. Can anyone share details?
