Of further note, the folks on the horn at TW are sharp, spot on and always seem to get to the heart of the matter - despite my (and our) semi-complicated circumstances ...

Not speaking to any particulars as I have not read them closely enough, but in my circumstance I have used TW to send monies to the bank ICBC here in BA (in USD). There was a bit of 'setup' that was necessary with TW (couple of phone calls and documents emailed / simple), but once that was in...

Gabriel Celano is excellent.

Thanks, Steve. Your replies are always in depth and insightful (gratitude!) Yes, I believe I did need a full US background check for one of my earlier renewals and for a gringo like me (with only intermediate Spanish) having the help (and hand holding) of an attorney was the most sensible route...

Just finished renewing my residency a few months ago (for the 3rd year in a row without US background check this time). Next year I am eligible for permanent residency. I am from the States. Will I need to 'start from zero' and start all over again, please? This is worrying as this year's...

My Spanish is intermediate and in the rare case when I was teased about my yankee accent, it was all in good fun ... Actually just yesterday in una tienda I was complimented on my pronunciation! Happens more often than not that my Spanish is complimented, because locals know, at the least, I am...

Uber for me all the way! Always have had a great experience (95%) And generally much less expensive ...

Exactly. In what way is this 'news'? I had the privilege to attend my daughter's 'destination wedding' in San Francisco recently and yet the folks on the street were actually pitfall. Here, we had all flown in for my beautiful daughter's event, and yet I was left feeling very sad and dumbfounded...

Same question here ... Would enjoy running close to Palermo!

Lamb Vindaloo, by chance?

Given your circumstance, I believe I would choose Argentina. If your (husband's) pension is in USD, then that is a plus, absolutely (iow, even though there is significant inflation here in Arg, your USDs will be able to keep pace, more or less). And in Argentina there is both public and private...

To renew my residency I needed to make some deposits into my Banco de Nacion account. I had done that in cash in years past. This time I wired money through a US corporation (and not large sums) and - full stop! Everything was frozen. What is worse is that my account was opened in Salta and I'm...
