For what it's worth, the church I go to does some volunteer work as part of the ministry. A few weeks ago, we went down to Quilmes to give out clothes and school supplies for the start of the school season, and we do pretty regular things where we'll make some food, put it in individual...

Yep. I saw where they pushed through the change at the last second to the Brazilian visa requirements. I had it already, but it's a moot point for the next year.

So, hooray, my spouse and I both have our resolutions for our permanent residency, and have had for a bit... My wife got hers in February, and I got mine a month ago. However, our DNIs haven't arrived, and we leave for Brazil, next week. Do y'all know of any way to prod ReNaPer to speed up...

Do you have a precaria? You will need the precaria, based on the latest updates to their site. I went to the branch at Callao and Juncal. https://www.bancociudad.com.ar/institucional/micrositio/CajadeAhorro

If it's not here tomorrow, I'm doing that.

Yeah, that one might be a bit tougher... I had my apostilled+translated background check in-hand, and my wife is Brazilian, so when they asked for a new background check for her, we were able to use the exception that allows Brazilian docs to be submitted without an apostille or translation.

When my wife and I did our PR, we were able to submit anything Migraciones needed, after the initial turno, by uploading PDF copies on their website.

The IRS, in their infinite wisdom, sent my tax refund by mail instead of direct deposit, in February, to my Argentine address and it’s not here yet. Meanwhile, I’ve had a friend send an Easter card that arrived in less than two weeks since then, according to the postmark. What are the chances...

It absolutely did. Thanks to Law 26240, Brazilians have the ability to skip straight to permanent residence, bypassing the two years of temporary residency required for other Mercosur citizens.

The one time I did it at AEP before getting residency, I just popped in and it was about 20 minutes. It’s at the international arrivals , between the rental car counters and the bathrooms. Look for the sign that says Migraciones.

The title says it all, and there are a few magic asterisks to be found in the process, but it's generally straightforward on how I did it, and you might be able to do this too. Magic Asterisk 1 - My spouse is Brazilian and we applied for permanent residency together. If she had already obtained...

I gave up, used BusBud and paid at official rate, last time I had to, fwiw

As long as you only have tax residency in Argentina, the US or both, you check the "No" box, then as a US Citizen, check the box "Soy una persona....", add your SSN in the blank, your US address below that and then sign, print and date. If you've got a third country's fiscal residency, that's...

They tried that one on me too, but I pushed back hard and made them get their boss. I also had the requirements on my phone, so they couldn't go back and say they needed something different, but it also probably helps that I'm stubborn, speak Spanish and my career has mostly been compliance...

My wife and I started our permanent residency process together, with her applying under Ley 26.240 as a Brazilian and me as her spouse. Hers was officially resuelto today, so now we're just waiting on Migraciones to give mine the stamp of approval. Fingers crossed that they get mine wrapped up...
