    OSDE Dentist needed

    I need a crown replaced and am looking for a good dentist that accepts OSDE. I called a couple of previously recommended dentists, but they were both private clients only. If you've had any significant work done with an osde dentist (something more than a cleaning), and it turned out well, and...

    Xmas gifts/tips

    Hey all, I was wondering...is it customary here to give a gift or tip to the portero of your building? I will probably give something, but I'm curious whether it's a common practice, like in the US when you give a xmas tip for the newpaper delivery and things like that. If it is common here...

    Cleaning person

    Hmm I didn't realize it would be so expensive! I lived in a larger shared apartment previously and my roommate had arranged with a maid for about $17 per hour on a biweekly basis, which did seem quite low to me, but I've never heard of more than 30. I had in mind closer to 40 pesos per hour for...

    Hi, I'm looking for someone to clean my studio apartment this week. I don't have a regular cleaning person- does anyone know of someone reliable that might be able to do this on short notice? It will probably only take a couple of hours, I just don't have time this week and need it to be...

    Cell phone plan without DNI?

    Hey all... Has anyone been able to obtain a cell phone plan without a DNI? Right now I'm using Claro prepaid, but I feel like I'm recharging it all the time, and I make about 5 minutes worth of calls per week! I have temporary residence, a CUIL number, paycheck stubs...just no DNI yet...

    FBI Background Check

    I just received my FBI background check this week, exactly 9 weeks from the date I mailed the request. Very surprising, considering they told me on the phone that it takes 10 weeks to even clear security.

    Confused! Documents for work visa - Foreign birth certificate, criminal history

    Thanks so much for the clear explanation. My parents got a new copy of the birth certificate when we applied for a Visa to visit Russia, it's supposed to be internationally valid (as opposed to the original soviet union one), although I'm not sure where it's considered acceptable. I'll send you...
