My guess is no, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I'd try reaching out to the Information Resource Center: https://ar.usembassy.gov/education-culture/irc/ Tel: (54-11) 5777-4380 E-mail: [email protected]

This might work once or twice. Knowing Zoom and their partner More Money, if it becomes a regular thing, they might start asking for documents to prove that the transfer is non-commercial, especially if you don't have the same last names, for example.

Just FYI, Zoom cannot be used to pay for services: https://www.xoom.com...poses-in-poland As the link notes, you can only use it for remittances.

I renewed my passport last year at Embassy Buenos Aires, and the only thing they did was check to make sure I had filled out the form correctly. In a couple of days, DHL delivered it to me. You did something to merit their scrutiny, and you're not being forthcoming as to what that might be.

1) If you truly believe that your complaint against State is valid, it should stand on its own two feet without having to drag the government officials' family members into it. So, by posting those pictures of their family members, not only might one perceive that as some sort of veiled threat...

It shouldn't be. However, the OP has decided to post pictures of members of the U.S. Foreign Service and their families, while making some pretty grave and outlandish claims about their actions as employees of the U.S. government. In other words, it was his decision. For his claims to have any...

Why don't you post copies of all correspondence you received from the State Department? By having sent it to your personal email account or address, none of the material is classified. You could block out the private elements. The Federal Register has pretty clear cut rules for passport denial...

No? So, if they were European (or of European descent), wealthy and complaining about paying $10 dollars for movie tickets, could the foreigners residing in Villa 31 qualify as expats? The subject I think is relevant. Why do you think things were so cheap during Isabelita's presidency? At what...

But expats make up more than half of Villa 31's residents and remain very pro K?

But there's likely a 2x1 that you're unaware of. My partner and I often go to the movies, and pay $160 together. But even at $10.00, that's still cheap. The movie theaters near my small hometown in the Midwest (U.S.) charge more. Buenos Aires remains very affordable -- even cheap -- compared to...

Nothing was ever interest-free. It was just built into the overall price. You were incentivized to put it on your credit card, but the 30% inflation was still tacked on. Whether you paid it in 12 installments, three or one, everyone was paying the interest. I am unaware of how much the stores...

It's exactly what the government wanted. The financing provided by banks is inflationary.

^ The above is spam. A new user with his first post revives a 7-year-old thread to post a glowing review about some TEFL program in Buenos Aires... Right. :)

Ed - Correct, but the agreement was signed under pro-trade Obama. It is looking increasingly likely that Trump will live up to the campaign rhetoric. I don't think this is a glitch. I haven't had a chance to see how exactly this import suspension was put into place, i.e. if the suspension was...

According to Ambito.com, Trump has halted Argentine lemon imports for 60 days. http://www.ambito.co...nos-por-60-dias Otro palo en la rueda...

Forgot to answer this one. The stock markets have become a really poor indicator of economic performance these days, whether you're talking about Argentina, the U.S. or even Venezuela. Basically, all the money that is being injected into the financial system is searching for yield. With interest...

It depends on how you amass your wealth. If you make your money selling services/goods to the Argentine economy, legally or illegally, you probably aren't too happy with his policies. Go talk with any PYME out there and see how they feel right now. However, if you make your money by investing...

CFK's policies certainly led to high inflation, but the high inflation was mainly due to excessive demand, which her government created through wealth transfers (high taxes and BCRA loans when tax revenues weren't enough). Her government's belief was that you created growth by ensuring that...

Noesdeayer, The overvalued peso is a decision made by the Central Bank. The fact that there are dollars coming in means that they can play offense instead of defense, and offense allows them to make the decision to keep the peso overvalued or not. Keeping it overvalued is preferable because...

What the chart actually says is that countries in the region are losing more dollars (via imports, capital outflows, etc.) than they're bringing in (exports, investment, etc.). It's a global problem, not just one in Argentina. It has almost nothing to do with corruption.
