I knew there was a reason I married a European citizen. And here it is: my NIE card. The NIE is like the US green card, only it’s not green. I thought I’d write about my experience of getting the NIE, and in fact documenting my entire immigration adventure, but then I decided just to give you people what you really want: my god-awful NIE photo. Enjoy.
Before you ask, no, I’m not sure what “Sexo: M-F” means. Mujer-Femenina?
Spanish citizens will note that unlike the DNI, this card is only in Spanish, not Spanish and Catalan. I suppose that’s reasonable. I mean, what foreigner could possibly learn to read an identification document in Catalan?*
*Maybe, I dunno, me? Or these guys…
Got an immigration story to share? Post it in the comments! You might take your cue from this CNN article about expats in Turkey.

Looking good, Jo! As Pablo Francisco would say, you’re “Fii-ii-iiine”.
But you’re not a Gimeno, according to this card!
Ugh, I know. Long story short, if it’s not on your passport, it’s not your name. I’m working on it.
