Well, I do believe that even in Ellis Island, they were interviewed ;) A quick google says that as far back as 1882, potential immigrants were being vetted and denied entry based on background (i.e., criminal convictions) I am not surprised you are surprised by the time period, very few people...

Also, there is a defacto elimination system already in place inre immigration. Only the wealthy or talented need apply ;) The application itself is close to 1K just to file the paperwork. Then in order to be approved, the sponsor or co-sponsor of the intending CR-1 immigrant need to make a...

You do know that no "unvetted" Muslims (or any other religion) were ever allowed in the US for immigration or visiting purposes correct? Getting vetted for immigration purposes takes at least a year and non-regular (i.e., refugee) visas often take several years. Even visitor visas go through an...

Real Estate deals generally are quite complex here so your best bet is talking directly to the property. The norm is still in cash but there are always creative ways to structure.

There aren't canned beans in BsAs to the best of my knowledge. Buy dried and soak. You can find cans of diced tomatoes.

I had to get fingerprints for a tramite in the US done and at the time, I had it done at the comisiaria on Cabildo right by the tunnel in Las Canitas - 31 maybe. This was 5 years ago though, no idea if they still do it. At the time, they were totally befuddled by it and I had to explain...

I forgot that - yes, the worst! Three times I had my fingerprints rejected (including ones that were done by a police dept in the US). Def go to someone that knows what they're doing!

We're bringing back some clients to Buenos Aires in a few weeks. One of the things they want to do is a tango show. I have zero experience with those - I went to one once a million years ago but can't remember anything about it other than it was pretty boring. Is there any show halfway...

Really - what are you not grasping here? Do you really think working in a call center is akin to working as a prostitute in most of the world? If given a choice between working in a call center or working as a prostitute, which do you think *most* would choose? Which do you think is safer...

Valid, I was thinking construction jobs in the western countries but good point. However, even considering that fact, the comparison between the sex trade and the rest of the jobs mentioned isn't exactly valid. And where did I or have I ever stigmatized the sex trade? You are putting your...

I'm not sure what is degrading about any of the positions you mentioned? Dangerous yes. Also generally regulated in terms of safety requirements unlike the sex trade in most of the world. Also not professions where human beings are trafficked. When's the last time you heard of someone...

Well given you admittedly have vested interest in that being true, we can agree that your assertion that NGOs are lying would be beneficial for you. However you've offered no proof for your assertion and a quick search doesn't come up with any kind of smoking gun proving that. I am glad that...

Why so interesting? Do we know someone in the main photo? I would argue that there are many ways of "forcing" women into prostitution. Many don't involve physical force or overt coercion but it still doesn't mean a woman has chosen that way of life totally voluntarily and in full understanding...

You pay the waybill fee at the DHL office. You bring that with you to the embassy and give it to them at your appointment (where you pay your passport renewal fee). Very simple.

There have been posts about an imminent crackdown since 2012 at least. Even by Argentine standards, it's going really slowly ;)

There really isn't. It's a tradition we've carried to the US and people love it. They do still leave after 2 hours b/c..US..but it's fun and I'd say we grill at least 2x a month for friends :)

And lest you think I am only hers to poke fun, I do think you set up a good business exploiting a loophole in the law. Power to you. But you would probably be better served simply advertising your business. People will find you just fine without the scare tactics IMO. But as I said, carry on!

What assertions? I simply stated a few facts. You don't "work for the good". You work for income. Fact. You charged in USD - at least back during the K days. Fact (I found that amusing given your professed love of all things K but you didn't charge in pesos). I don't care what you do but I...

Y vos?? ;)

No dog in the fight but he doesn't work for the people or for the greater good. He works for himself. And charges a pretty penny (in USD to boot, despite his love of all things K) for his services. And this forum has certainly given him a lot of clients.
