    My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    Early Retirement - the requirements were slightly more strict for father in terms of time required to have been in the US etc. However Google tells me this changed in 2017. Per USCIS - prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Sessions v. Morales-Santana in 2017, the physical presence...

    My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    Children born overseas (unless on a US military base aren't considered "natural born citizens". So probably no on the presidency ;) I'll also be a debbie downer. You realize if you move to Argentina and the child is born in Argentia, if you divorce, you will need to remain in Argentina until...

    information and law about 2 marriage in Argentina.

    LOLOL. Yes. You won't be getting married to a second wife if you have a first wife. That's bigamy. And a no in most countries in the world. Best of luck to you.

    Do not bank with Santander Río!

    Generally banks don't want US citizens because of FACTA - it's not only Argentina. It's a PITA to comply with the reporting requirements so many banks have said thanks but no thanks.

    Abortion to become legal.....

    Says someone who has never carried a child. Please ask anyone who actually has been pregnant/given birth if it's without issue no matter how "easy" it appears to you.

    Abortion to become legal.....

    Well..because the woman is the one to carry the fetus, face all the associated health risks involved with pregnancy and childbirth and in *most* cases, also is the default primary caretaker. She generally is also the one to suffer the economic repercussions from lost wages to career impact...

    Account in US Dollars

    You're going to want to check with an accountant. There certainly used to be a way of buying stocks in Buenos Aires and selling them in NY or vice versa. Certainly a cueva is another option.

    I need help getting my cat adopted by Wednesday.

    It costs $200 to fly him back to the US with you. I'm very confused - you've had the cat for 11 years and you're trying to rehome him in 2 days? That doesn't make any sense.

    Giving Birth In Argentina

    My twins were born at 34 weeks and spent 2 weeks in the neo-natal unit at Mater Dei. We knew there was a good chance they would arrive early & my FIL who is an OB/GYN had strongly recommended Mater as he felt their neo unit was one of the best in Capital. The hospital itself is not all that...

    Abortion to become legal.....

    1) I don't know of anyone in the US or anywhere who thinks of abortion as a kind of birth control. 2) If someone is so ill educated and irresponsible to consider it as birth control, there is no way that someone should be raising a child. 3) As always, if you aren't in favor of abortion, don't...

    What would you miss most if you left Argentina?

    Having been gone almost 2 years!!, I miss my family. I miss long asados (I'm back in the land of people arriving at 6:30 and never staying past 8:30). I miss the skies. I miss helado, (although I found a Freddo in Charleston - and yes, it was the real Argentine Freddo!).

    Overstaying 90-day limit

    If you've left for a short amount of time, I can't imagine there would be a problem. ie, a 2 week visit here or there. Now if you're leaving for months at a time, I assume they would question b/c the argument could be made you weren't living in Arg. But remember, they want a background check...

    Overstaying 90-day limit

    Just FYI, if you've been in Arg for 4 years and haven't left, you are not required to submit a crim background check from your birth country.

    St. Andrew's or Northlands school

    There is also the CIE (I think thats the acronym) exams given by University of Cambridge which are also accepted for international university. My twins were at St Hildas in Hurlingham which is a bilingual school and we were quite pleased with the teaching (albeit in the pre-K classes). I...

    Divorce lawyer - law advice. Divorce in Arg., assets in USA

    I would go for a consult stat. There are lots of red flags here (you don't know what accounts are, you're not sure if you're on them, your main assets are in someone else's name, etc). I'm not saying you are going to get screwed but it certainly sounds like you need a much more clear...

    The yellow balloon is deflating

    I literally can't make sense of this post. Perhaps if the lawyer would put in Spanish, we might understand it?

    American Tourist Stabbed In La Boca.

    And they say crime doesn't pay... In Argentina, crime pays and protecting others costs.

    Looking for suggestions regarding presents to take to the UK.

    I can pass you the info of an amazing silversmith in San Antonio de Areco. He's made belt buckles for us, necklaces (well, the pendant, you buy the chain), key chains, etc. He'll make any design for you. I love them and everyone we've given them to has loved them as well.

    Racist tweet by Trump re future immigration to the US

    Not sure which policies you think I'm complaining about? I am simply outlining the long-standing policies which are global in nature. IE - Whether you are applying from Haiti or the UK, you pay the same visa application fees. In fact, it's higher for many "poor" countries as they must submit...
