Wow you really lucked out!!!

I hope it's not our only defining qualities... but I can't say I mind!!!

I heard this from someone with a rentista visa, it is HEARSAY: You can withdraw the 8,000 pesos or whatever it is and deposit it right back in. They don't check that it's not the same money! Although you will rack up some fees probably so of course it's not just that easy.

It completely varies. It depends what plan the owner signed up for (usually the cheapest one!). Also, some internet companies start out giving you the speed that is promised in the plan and then it drops to half after a few months, or at times is just really bad. I feel like when the weather is...

Bait and Switch deal... from my experience. I spent months and months flat hunting and always ignored the posts from that agency. Ah but that ad is directly on their website. I'm not sure. Anytime I saw ads from them on ZonaProp they were never legit.

Sorry Noruega I didn't mean to say that they only list in dollars and they won't accept pesos, just that whatever they decided was the rental price before the whole currency-exchange-blockade is pretty much what they try to keep to, even if they rent in pesos. It's not like they convert at the...

there's no such thing as paying formal rate vs. blue rate. people price their flats in dollars. if they are going to let you pay in pesos, they will want blue rate equivalent (unless they are really desperate). Time it takes is equivalent to how fast you are willing to settle. Internet is never...

if you're using a british CC to buy something priced in pesos, you won't have to pay the 35% fee but WILL be paying the official exchange rate ... the spread between the official and blue is probably larger than 35%/.

YAY! Super clear and helpful. Thank you so much. I'll definitely use a channeler GMXam ... and about this expiry thing, I'm just wondering if I can do it all in the span of 3 weeks (FBI apostille included) but maybe I shouldn't push my luck with the risk of it getting invalidated. Anyway...

Hi GXMam sorry I wrote my reply before reloading the page and didn't see this.. Thanks for your feedback. I certainly hope my trusty mail service can take on the errand of mailing it out for me to the State Dept in DC. Thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks Steve and Crema Americana... let me clarify. I am applying for citizenship with the help of a lawyer. I am currently I am in Buenos Aires. In 2 weeks, I will travel to the US, for a duration of 2.5 weeks. Because I decided to start the process so close in time to my trip, it wasn't...

Even citizenship is hard as a freelancer because you have to "prove an honest way of living" and unless you are actually employed by a company somewhere, not just doing independent contractor stuff, it makes the case that much harder. But I suppose with the right lawyer on your side....

Special thanks for the recommendation!

Hey all, So I know that I need to get my certified birth certificate and I need to send it myself from within the US to get apostilled (I'm going anyway, otherwise I'd do it here but would need a notary for the appostille part ; so they told me at the office of the city where I was born). Next...

I was recently talking to an Argy guy whose Argy friend moved to Charleston NC 14 years ago. He entered as a tourist and never left. He works in manufacturing and was able to get a mortgage and owns a house. He doesn't have a license, and when the cops pull him over and he says he's an illegal...

Sounds like you didn't venture above Avenida Santa Fe, which is the more bohemian, "trendy" but more subtle side of Palermo. Recoleta by comparison is much fancier but if you only stayed in the part of Palermo below Santa Fe, it's going to look exactly the same (but more fancy, less regular...

Great! And if we can arrange meetings somewhere in the middle (Palermo-ish) would be even better!

check out Palermo if you haven't already. I much prefer it to San Telmo. Also the surrounding neighbs are nice too.. Colegiales and Las Cañitas in particular.

This is my dream job! Nobody else apply (please)
