My wife and I completed the forms for an NIE number at the Spanish consul in London last October - and are still waiting for the NIE number. I have a friend who speaks fluent Spanish who has chased up the office in Madrid (they NEVER answer the phone) - to be told that the forms have beed posted out to our friend's address in Spain twice - but he has received nothing. It is getting beyond a joke now - has anyone erlse had a similar problem - and got a solution?
