I will try this and let you know how it goes. Thank you!

Thanks for the idea - at this point she is not able to check it out herself. We have tried to communicate with the prepagas through email and chat and and son un destratre... they said they do not have telefonos fijos. Any other ideas???

We have been trying to call 0800 numbers in Argentina from abroad. My husband would like to get a prepaga for my mother in law who is living in Argentina and all the companies have 0800 numbers. It is impossible to communicate with them and have them give us a normal landline number. Does...

We had some made a couple years ago. We bought the fabric in Once and they knew a seamstress but I dont remember his name. You might go to Once and ask around there... just an idea.

Everything went pretty much as we expected! We waited about 9 months from the time we filed until my fiance could come to the US (6 months from filing to approval and then it took a few more months to get everything in order for the embassy interview). I think the wait times for the K3 are a...

We applied for a fiance visa - K1 and visajourney.com helped us a lot. We were able to do it all without an attorney. Good luck!

I am also in process of applying for a K1 visa - it takes about 6 - 8 months from the time you submit the first paperwork. Since we wanted to get married in the US, we decided to go forth with the K1 visa and didn't research much about the process of getting married in Arg and then applying for...

Citygirl, thanks for your help. Yes, I think I am going to have to amend my 2011 taxes. Going with an accountant might be the easiest but since it wasn't that much money I will have to see if it is worth it. Thanks!

Im sorry, let me clarify. I was living in Argentina for 3 years. During 2012, I lived there for 8 months. I had work "en blanco" and paid Argentina taxes. Now I am living and working in the US.

Does anyone have any experience filing the foreign tax credit (line 47, form 1116) on the 1040? I worked half the year in Argentina and half the year in the US. Do you know if it is worth figuring out the foreign tax credit or should I just file the 1040EZ? Thanks!

I think you can also go to Correo Argentina and OCA.

I am planning on moving back to the US in the next couple of months. I am currently living with my Argentina boyfriend (also has EU passport)and he is going to make the move with me. Does anyone know if there is a partner visa for the US? I know some other countries have visas for...

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I traveled last week and was able to get a new piece of paper stapled to my passport showing that I had paid the reciprocity fee. I went to the immigration office in Ezeiza before my departing flight and they were able to give me the paperwork I...

Can Xoom also be used to send pesos from an Argentine bank account to a US bank account in dollars? Or is it only used for transferring dollars from the US to Argentina? Thanks!

Hi all, My passport and everything was stolen last week. I am in the process of renewing everything. Does anyone know what I have to do to renew the $131 argentine reciprocity fee? Any idea if it is possible to renew visas I had in my passport to Bolivia and Chile? Thanks!
