    Re-entry question after residency expiration

    I have a friend that left when her DNI expired and reentered as a tourist, you supposedly have to leave the day it expires... or at least dont reenter until it has expired.

    I think a great idea is the artisans in the plazas and have someone make a leather one for you

    Fbi Background Check

    That's why I like the 3rd party. They will scan in the ink fingerprints and can let you know if there isn't a complete set that will work. And, they will get the rejection back within a few business days vs 6-8 weeks. The small difference in cost to use a 3rd party is well worth it.

    Fbi Background Check

    FBI criminal identity check - I printed off the finger print cards online from FBI’s website. Card stock is best. I took 3 copies to the Palermo Police Station which is the closest to the US Embassy. They only will do 2 cards. This service is free. Mail in these cards, with the FBI...

    Oh Babyyy - Mothers/soon To Be Moms, Please Help!

    Austral doesn't like to perform c-sections unless it's a must need situation because of their religious beliefs. They tend to not always have a doctor than can do that on hand. It came into a factor with a friend of mine who had twins. She was several hours into labor, water broke, everything...

    Moving In February! Need Your Input!

    Let Me Save You Pain - Do Not Use Pilar's Migrations Office

    This is a post based off of a comment I made, but I think it can be helpful to others not following that post. The Pilar office is new and it sucks big time. I thought it would be quick and easy because they just opened and don't have the number of applicants like downtown BA, but I made a big...

    Migraciones Offices: Can You Choose Which To Use?

    Sorry I meant to reply earlier. The Pilar office is new and it sucks big time. Don't go to it! It opened in late November, early December. You can only go to the Pilar office if you live in certain areas outside of Capital Federal. For example, all of Pilar, Exaltacion de la Cruz, Lujan, Tigre...

    Eze To Mia For Short Vacay? Questions!

    I agreee. I use Uber a ton when I've stayed in Miami. So, keep in mind you should buy a chip with Tmobile or some company to put in your phone. You can usually prepay for a week with unlimited internet. Without internet, you cant request an Uber.
