The advice you are receiving here is very - if not varied - sound. On the cultural side, it's not easy. It's actually much harder than it sounds. I come from an Anglo-Argentine family and was raised in the states. My boyfriend is Argentine and we spend a lot of time here. Even with all the...

Thank you to everyone for your insights. I am going to put my faith in this last post here and assume that the six months will be given based on his story and plans.
