    Getting US permanent residency for your foreign spouse is about to get harder...

    amcarey, I think we're going to ask to schedule an interview before August 15th. I've already been in contact with the embassy and they have advised me to do just that. I suggest you write them ASAP - [email protected] My husband wanted to leave here around June or July of next year...

    Getting US permanent residency for your foreign spouse is about to get harder...

    In my case, we wanted to get things squared away while still in Argentina so my husband can start working as soon as we move back. If we apply while we're up there, he may have to wait well over a year before he can start working legally.

    Getting US permanent residency for your foreign spouse is about to get harder...

    If you plan to move back to the US with your foreign spouse, as I plan to do next year, the process for filing a Petition for Alien Relative (I-130) is about to get much harder. After August 15th, the US Embassy here will no longer be able to assist. You will have to file directly with the USCIS...

    Permanent Resident Voting Rights

    I came across an article about this very topic yesterday. I believe it just applies to those who live in the Provincia de Buenos Aires and not in Capital: Los extranjeros estarán obligados a votar en la provincia de Buenos Aires I'm just wondering if I have to register with the Registro de...

    San Juan, ARG

    I spent a week in San Juan a few years back and really enjoyed it. Went horse back riding alongside the pre-cordillera and took a drive out to some pretty nearby dique. The nightlife wasn't half bad either. In July I'll likely be visiting Valle de la Luna, which looks amazing in the pictures...

    Changing a fuse in Buenos Aires

    If you have a portero, ask him for help. If not, I'd play it safe and just have an electrician sent over. It shouldn't be too pricey at all.

    Job Vacancy: Personal Administrative Assistant

    I never said it's a crime. I just said they are looking for cheap labor. It is what it is. And $3000 a month for a full-time job isn't exactly the most livable wage. I work legally for a local company, 9-5, make significantly more and still struggle to deal with the ever-increasing inflation.
