    Permanent Residency: One down, One to go...

    Nope. They'll want to see evidence of life together, a relationship, etc... Someone from Migraciones would do the interview, and they've been more motivated to say no these days than yes. Make their life easier, follow the rules. Also, marriage just for the residency is a _bad_ idea. The...

    Stuck at the supervision stage, any ideas?

    The supervision stage is just the "we're still processing the paperwork" bit. Go on their website, use the contact form and they'll usually respond within a day or so. When I needed to do this, they sent a PDF of my precaria after a couple of days. That said, you should be able to download it...

    Permanent Residency: One down, One to go...

    Definitely glad I could help. A minor other note is that if you have your Italian driver’s license, Argentina will let you transfer it in with no testing required, thanks to an agreement between Argentina and Italy.

    Permanent Residency: One down, One to go...

    To answer your questions in order.. 1 - No lawyer needed, just decent written Spanish to send inquiries about both of your cases every 48 hours, once you get past the 30 day mark. FWIW, when we did ours, I was literally the only person in the extra-Mercosur line who wasn't Russian and who didn't...

    Where to get fingerprints done for background check (Canada)

    Go to el Registro Nacional de Reincidencia and have them done. You’ll need to make an appointment online, but it was free when I had my US ones done in ink, back in November

    Housekeeper pay

    Ours is a friend of ours from church who is a student, so we pay what we think is reasonable. She makes a decent rate to help pay for school, we get incredibly valuable help around the house, and everyone is happy.

    Do Birth and Marriage Certificates Expire for PR Applications?

    When I did my PR, I wasn't ever asked for my birth certificate. Marriage, yes, but only because I applied through marriage. I can't speak to the apostille part though, because our certificado de matrimonio was from CABA.

    Got married! Now how to get citizenship?

    For what it's worth, I got my PR in 78 days from in-person turno to conclusion after marriage. However, I'm pretty sure 90% of that is because a: I wrote letters through the contact form every 48 hours, after my wife got her PR and b: I applied for PR at the same time as my wife, since she's...

    Hello from Neuquen

    I’m from that other, better state that starts with a T, and I’ll be in Neuquén in August for my church’s national conference if you want to grab a steak or something then.

    Brazil Travel money exchange and dni?

    That is pretty much the opposite of my experience in Brazil. I’ve always gotten good rates from my US Visa, Mastercard and AMEX cards there, and I’ve never seen the thing where the local card processor charged a fee. On the few occasions where there’s a significant PIX discount, then I’ll just...

    Can someone walk me through this step of the DNI process?

    Ink from ReNaPer and then sent them to the US (and had the rap sheet returned) via DHL.

    Can someone walk me through this step of the DNI process?

    I used Monument Visa as my FBI channeler and for the apostille, and it was about 3 weeks from fingerprints to having my apostilled FBI rap sheet in hand, in BA.

    Volunteering in Buenos Aires

    For what it's worth, the church I go to does some volunteer work as part of the ministry. A few weeks ago, we went down to Quilmes to give out clothes and school supplies for the start of the school season, and we do pretty regular things where we'll make some food, put it in individual...

    Traveling abroad before receiving DNI

    Yep. I saw where they pushed through the change at the last second to the Brazilian visa requirements. I had it already, but it's a moot point for the next year.

    Traveling abroad before receiving DNI

    So, hooray, my spouse and I both have our resolutions for our permanent residency, and have had for a bit... My wife got hers in February, and I got mine a month ago. However, our DNIs haven't arrived, and we leave for Brazil, next week. Do y'all know of any way to prod ReNaPer to speed up...

    Opening Bank account with CDI?

    Do you have a precaria? You will need the precaria, based on the latest updates to their site. I went to the branch at Callao and Juncal. https://www.bancociudad.com.ar/institucional/micrositio/CajadeAhorro

    Mail in Argentina, yet again…

    Migraciones tramites by proxy?

    Yeah, that one might be a bit tougher... I had my apostilled+translated background check in-hand, and my wife is Brazilian, so when they asked for a new background check for her, we were able to use the exception that allows Brazilian docs to be submitted without an apostille or translation.
