On another thread, Netbean had a brief post about the Visa Angels, which is a non-profit group of volunteer Expats in Cuenca that assists fellow Expats "in need" to succeed in the residency visa process.
The post was brief, but if the group's reviews at GringoTree and GringoPost are representative, these Angels could be the answers to arriving Expats' prayers -- at least in the Cuenca area.
The reviewers tell of receiving excellent assistance that enabled them to get residency visas in three weeks or less after submitting the paperwork. One poster said it cost him only $100 or so for a small donation to the Angels, translations, and notary work. Another poster said the service is "free," so any donation may be voluntary.
According to the reviews, Joe Spotts is the man behind the scenes, and one of Joe's Angels is Jodie Mansfield -- [email protected]
Another email for the group is [email protected]
If any Expat.com users get assistance from the Angels -- either in Cuenca or via messaging -- please tell us about your experience.
