LOL - I certainly wouldn't advocate children as a means of obtaining residency. They're a lot of work and very expensive ;) Also yes, civil partnerships are a possibility now for directly obtaining permanent residency from what I understand although I still don't know anyone who has gone that...

Ben - I'm not sure. I actually think #3 is more likely. I have a few good friends who are very pro K. Well-educated. Have been exposed to other cultures (i.e., not totally insular). But honestly, they parrot this kind of stuff that has zero basis in fact without an ounce of awareness. And...

Steve - only correction to the post is one can obtain permanent residence directly by being a parent of a child born in Argentina as well as marriage.

This is your brain on drugs Or a bot.

Really not if you take a step back. 1) In order to afford a ticket to the US from Argentina, chances are you are going to have a good job or be retired with money, etc. So the chances of a tourist overstaying are pretty low and your approval rates are going to be high. 2) Since Canadians...

Light is still WAY underpriced and an incredible bargain IMO, given the costs of everything else here.

I'm not sure why it's sycophantic fawning to say Obama is a very charismatic speaker There is no question - regardless of what you think of him as a president - that he is a fantastic public speaker and in fact it was that very skill that propelled him onto the national (US) stage. As for...

I'm not sussed about the dollars, I'll open an account in pesos. With the official exchange rate pretty much being the same as blue, I am happy to have it changed through central bank. I simply want to transfer some money here into a local savings account so as to make it easy for every day...

We did present an invoice but to be 100% honest, the third party (shipper) requested so I'm not sure if it was for their paperwork process or b/c the bank needed it. We got the official exchange rate. I'm going to open a savings account at Citi this week so I'll post once I try to send some...

I'm guessing given China's relatively subdued response, they are fully aware the fishing vessel was in the wrong. And it sounds from the reporting that the protocols were followed (attempts to contact crew, lights, hailing the crew, etc) before they fired on it. Pretty major statement on...

With all the changes, I'm wondering if anyone has sent themselves money via "official" channels? We had a client pay us from the US a few weeks ago and it was a really easy experience - she wired the money, went through the official process and we received it a few weeks later here in...

Ooh, that's interesting. Please post your updates. I need to get a local license here and I've been absolutely daunted by the process. Someone recommended aCA but I don't really want to join. Hmm.. so you don't need the apostille that the city website says you need, just a fax?

You know, I haven't had the greatest luck. We went a few times but by the time you factor in tolls, gas, etc and the prices advertised weren't the prices we paid there, it didn't wind up being all that great a deal. I suppose I should register as a mayorista there - might make it worth going...

Ah these threads are a gift:)

AFAIK, not possible at this time and hasn't been for at least 5 years.

By law I believe they must find you a place in a public school here. I honestly have no idea how you go about finding a vacancy however. Schools have already started/are starting next Monday so yo've left it very, very late unfortunately. Are you on track with your Argentine studies in terms...

My kids always enter/leave the US on their US passport and enter/leave Argentina on their Argentine passport. It's technically how you should do it anyway. Your wife will need to show her Arg passport to the airline when she checks in for her flight in the US (as a reason for not paying the...

Because some people might not want to get married? I don't know of anyone who has done it - I will ask a friend who was thinking about registering for civil partnership

Technically once you are a resident, you need to get a local license. (I still haven't done it and ma driving with my US license- oops). When I called for info on getting a local license, they told me I would need to bring my DNI with me so you should be fine driving with your European license...

I have always sent docs Fedex and had no problems. My tax returns were always received. Not cheap though. For ridiculous reasons, the fed gov't mailed me my refund check (despite requesting direct deposit). They sent it regular mail and it never arrived here. I would def recommend getting d...
