http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_X5uR7VC4M Forgive me, I couldn't resist... actually, I think there is some good photoshop advice beneath the twisted comedy. Hope you find someone.

Bajo_cero (or others) please advise! I've been here less than a year and I've "renewed" once by going to Colonia (no problems, BTW, with my US Passport). I'm approaching the 90 day mark for that trip (on March 10) and I was contemplating going to Uruguay to see Carnival. Your advice seems...

I also would really like to do a weekly thing. Unfortunately, I'll be traveling for the next month. I'll be sure to check this thread as soon as I get back!

USAA refunds up to $15.00 of other banks ATM fees each month, charges none of their own for the first 10 withdrawals, and assesses a 1% foreign transaction fee. How does that compare to Schwab? I've been quite happy with them from for everything. They've never screwed me with overdraft fees...

Hi all, I'm curious about people's thoughts on those little fuyi tabs that are mosquito repellents or insecticides or I don't know what. For the uninitiated, they're little perfumed cards that you slide into an electric contraption that heats them, and the fumes somehow prevent mosquitoes from...

Hi all, I thought I would follow up to this thread I started (better late than never, right? ;)) She came, had absolutely no problems getting in other than me being 5 minutes late picking her up at the baggage claim in SFO, we had a fantastic time in the good Ole US of A, and she went back to...

Hi all, if starting a new thread is more appropriate, let me know. I read through this thread and I'm still not exactly clear about how it applies to my current situation: I visited Buenos Aires in January for about 2 weeks and now I am here for just over 180 days (I arrived on September 22...

She's staying for 2 weeks. I'll ask about the CC extension possibility. seems like credit cards aren't very common in Argentina. I've heard most charge a monthly fee?

Will do. good to know, will do. hmm, might be problematic: She has no credit cards and I'm wondering how much a graduate student savings account is going to impress a US customs official, let alone an Argentinian one. hopefully two outta three aint bad, right?

Hi all, thanks for all the useful info. It turns out she has a multiple entry B1/B2 Tourist visa that's good for 10 years, so that's good news. However, I am still concerned about the fact that a visa is no guarantee of entry into the US and it all depends on the customs interview. Given that...

wow, just wanted to thank everyone for all the good advice! I'm definitely freaked out now. I had heard the US was unkind to visitors, but I'm really starting to appreciate it now! I will get in touch with her and confirm what kind of visa she currently has

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with Argentinians visiting the US? Here's the situation: I met a wonderful Argentinian woman last August in the US. She has some type of valid US visa, probably a student one (she was there for a short course) but possibly a regular tourist visa (B2, I...

I just joined this forum and I am AMAZED at how unhelpful people are on these boards! only about one out of 15 responses was at all relevant to the topic (this one included, mea culpa!). Seems like most responses are lectures on cultural appropriateness and attempts to appear more porteno than...
