We are a young, middle class couple with pretty good jobs. However, we realized how impossible it would be for us to be able to buy property in any decent area. Plus, neither of us have a property garantia, so every time we have had to move it's three or four months of desperation until we...

Yup, only a week or so. Maybe two if there is a lot of demand.

One more VERY IMPORTANT thing. Does your SO have a tourist visa to the U.S. yet? If not, strongly consider getting one before marriage. Once they are married to a USC, foreigners are almost never approved, and without one, your spouse will not be able to travel to the U.S. at all until the...

sorry, please ignore this...has some trouble figuring out the quote option.

Now it's a two-step process, with the first step being a trip to an office--the address is Av. Santa Fe 4569, I beleive. There, they will take your picture and fingerprints Then, you can go to the embassy and finish the interview. I went once in 2010 and again in 2013, and it seemed to me...

I've went through the same situation with my then-boyfriend, who was now my husband. The thing is, he has a suspicious profile to the folks at the US embassy--that is, he already lived in the USA and he is dating you. Him telling them about your five year relationship is an automatic red...

We got married here: http://pepereina.blogspot.com.ar/ It is in Zona Sur, but I definitely recommend it if you are willing to go down south...in 2011 it was one of the more economical places to get married, but I have no idea how the prices would be now.

Thank you for typing out all of this...it is nice to hear someone's first-hand experience.

This past winter, we went to La Poblacion, Cordoba. It is a tiny little town near San Javier and Yacanto in Traslasierra. AMAZING. And we stayed in a wonderful cabin: http://www.lamoritacba.com.ar/loft.htm Seriously, check it out! It is best to go to this area in a car, as there is little...

I could console you into giving it another chance. I came down and stayed for love, even though I hated BA. My plan was to get married and get out as soon as possible. Well, we are still here...and I am happy now. That doesn't necesarily mean that you will be happy here after waiting it...
