Wow. Both in terms of the travel and you're up at 5:01am on the day of a national paro. :-)

Bajo has covered it a few times both here and other threads. It is a strange case (but presumably happens often). My understanding is that the Supreme Court has ruled that the law is not just (no es justo as it were) to exclude the children of naturalized parents. There are cases support it...

I was hoping this too. :) But I can appreciate the good Dr's position.

Thanks for the reassurance. I've already reached out to the Colegio de Abogados in Cba to see whether they can provide a referral (and the Portal de Abogados online). We don't have any Bajo_cero2's up here. :( It would seem to be a pretty clear-cut case provided they know the case-law to cite.

I went to the juzgado today to review my case. I was presented with sentence authorizing my citizenship. I was asked to review thoroughly to correct any errors (my name, parents' names, state of birth, city of birth, date of birth). Found two minor errors for the state, but otherwise looked...

I don't disagree. :) But it cuts both ways. Italy has jus sanguinis (citizenship by blood) where the US and Argentina are by jus soli (birthright) Granted, Italy's jure sanguinis is one of the more liberal policies available. One the other hand, well-to-do Chinese, et al are flying to the...

I just found out that I'm one of those dead relative citizens. ;) I'm Italian through my great-grandfather. I had looked into it 20 years ago in college. I was "inspired" by my Argentine-Italian friends to check again last month. In 3 hours online--I learned that it took my great-grandfather...

I agree with your sentiment. I think you intended to use the term "negligent"

Just got the call from the juzgado for my case. My file is finally back from prosecutor purgatory. They asked me to come in next week Monday to Wednesday to review for errors, etc (not stating there are actually any issues). I was assured "todo bien" So hopefully that is indeed the case.

I use WhatsApp as well (for just about everything...chiropractor appts, doctor's appts, schedule blood draws at home, order up the pool guy for cleaning or to make resto reservations...LOVE IT). For the few in the US that refuse to get with the times....I have a free Google Voice (Hangouts)...

I can attest to this. As my Spanish has improved, I am more regularly asked if I'm Brazilian. I'm a US Citizen. Occasionally, someone will try to say something to me in Portuguese. Me: blank stare. As I have no idea what they are saying. A few years ago, one of the teachers at the jardin my...

My daughter is 2 years 9 months. We received our residency when she was 9 months (but the tramite took only 3 1/2 hours total and had docs 3 weeks later). We took our relative time starting each process. Still quite quick by most standards to obtain citizenship (and cheaper). Anyone starting...

Mini update. Called last week about my wife's case. They will call me when she can go into for the carta and oath. I will bring all of my daughter's documents that day to request the start of her case. (Get expediente case number) My case. I'm apparently stuck in fiscal (prosecutor) purgatory...

I haven't see that in Cordoba and I'm fairly plugged in. I will investigate.

My wife and I were both irregular status at the time of my daughter's birth. We both had to appear at the registro, rather than just one parent if married in Argentina (we're married in US). Our Spanish is fine, but was not great....that was not a problem...no translator required. We didn't even...

Also try the tracking on the Correo Argentino site. For Origin International-Destination National. Use your US tracking number (it usually works). Sometimes you will get more accurate updates than sticking with the USPS. This works on outbound as well. Once my envelope hits Miami--I start...

I have a friend with a similar case to ours. He's a permanent resident address in Pilar. A daughter born in Argentina and recently married to an Argentine. It's taken me some time to figure out where he should go, confusing with CABA and Gran Buenos Aires and the whole province. Looks like...

My wife's official sentence document posted this morning. :) Mine should be days or weeks barring any unforeseen requests from the fiscal or court. RESUELVO: 1º) Reconocer a la Sra. XXXXXXXXX, de condicion es personales relacionadas supra, como ciudadano naturalizado de la...

It was quick when I got a CDI. 5 minutes after waiting about 90 minutes in line. (That was four years ago though). I've since learned that accountant has an office for contadores. He can get in and out much faster with AFIP.

A CDI (Tax ID # for foreigners...the generic equivalent of a CUIT/CUIL) isn't enough?
