February 5: Submission of documents.
February 19: Received a request for additional documents: a sworn translation or consular legalization of a certificate of no criminal record from Turkey. This certificate is issued by local authorities directly in Turkish and Spanish(!), despite such certificates being previously accepted without issue. Since the applicant was already in Spain, a sworn translation of the Turkish text was provided.
