Meet Elena Alonso Volostnova
I have lived in Spain for 15 years. I help Americans move here properly, legally, with the IRS already accounted for.
Why I serve Americans specifically
Over 15 years and 500-plus cases, I noticed the same pattern: American clients arrived having been told half-truths, usually by someone who did not understand the US side of the equation. Their visa consultant ignored the IRS. Their tax preparer knew nothing about Spanish residency. I built this practice to close that gap and serve Americans as a single, accountable point of contact.
How a boutique differs from a visa mill
A $500 visa mill processes volume. It fills forms, and it disappears when a consulate asks a hard question. A boutique practice does the opposite: fewer clients, deeper work, and a plan that accounts for your taxes, your family, and your timeline before a single document is filed. You work directly with me, not a call center.
The role of the paid consultation
I do not run free qualifying calls. A paid strategy call filters for people who are serious and lets me prepare properly for your specific situation. You leave with a real plan, and if you engage full service within 30 days, the fee is credited toward it. If I do not believe your case is winnable, I tell you plainly and refund the fee.
What "done" looks like for you
Done is not an approved visa. Done is you living in Spain with your TIE card, empadronamiento, healthcare, bank account, and US tax obligations handled, knowing what happens at each renewal and where the path to permanent residency and citizenship leads. I stay with you through the post-arrival steps, not just the consulate stamp.
