Scary! That's such a popular ride too.

:D I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for the DIY idea, I'm wary of trying it myself since it's my landlady's washine machine, but will ask the portero to try it out!

Thanks! Sent you a message.

Thanks, I think we need the luck! Yes it did finish its cycle, tried it multiple times in fact.

Do they service non-Whirlpool machines too? Ours is some Argentine made brand called Coventry.

The door of our front-loading washing machine is stuck and our wet clothes are trapped inside. Can anyone recommend a good washing machine repair place, preferably in Zona Norte? We have some good clothes stuck in there and afraid we'll get mold on them very soon :( Thanks.

Thanks for the information! What do you guys think of the ordinary standing places instead of Alta San Martin? It works out to a little more than we are prepared to pay.

I'm looking to go for the River Velez match at Monumental this Sunday. Does anyone know if I can buy tickets directly at the stadium today or tomorrow? Is the ticket counter open on weekends?

I think the voicemail number for Movistar is *555 and default password is 1234#

For Indian food, Tandoor, Taj Mahal, Mumbai, Katmandu. The first two are better than the last. Taj Mahal's idea of picante food is not half bad. I forget their addresses but all have websites.

I don't think name control can work once there are a lot of immigrants in a country. Obviously the allowable name register offers me very few options for Indian/Hindu names. I don't think it's fair to say that the register eliminates weird or offbeat names, as a name that's weird here can be...

Yes, we do have our DNIs in hand with vencimiento in Sept 2011. We refused to pay and my husband's employer spoke to the agency to get them for us. Thanks for the tip about taking photocopies and having them notarised!

Ah but I'm vegetarian :) I can vouch for the palak paneer though!

Update - We got our DNIs. What does this mean as far as our residency is concerned? My husband's employer claims that we now don't have to do anything further for our residency and that we can stay here legally (indefinitely?) with our expiring Residencia Precarias and our DNIs. But shouldn't we...

I definitely prefer Taj Mahal to Tandoor.

Thanks for the information Mini. I'll do that to find out if my DNI has been processed or not. My fingerprints were only taken once but I have no clue whether that was for a police report. I had given those celeste background photos of myself as well. Again I don't know what that was for :)

Thank you for all the information everybody. It's a little overwhelming but I am grateful to learn more about the process. Steve, my Residencia Precaria was stamped with a new date and I have it with me, so I'm not just taking the agency's word for it. My fingerprints were taken on the day I...

Your own thread on this ;) http://baexpats.org/expat-life/12574-spanish-lessons-belgrano.html

Steve, yes the "agency" (I appreciate the quotes!) says they have the DNIs already. We do have our Residencia Precaria papers though, is that the certificate of residency that you mean? I guess if we decide we do need/want them then re-apply for the replacement DNIs ourselves? But I was curious...

Thanks for the information everyone. The company where my husband works uses an agency to assist with all the migraciones work. They were the ones who helped us get the Residencia Precaria when we arrived in Buenos Aires and applied for the DNIs for us, but are asking for 1000 pesos as payment...
