    Online notarization with no US phone number

    I need to notarize and then apostille a document (an affidavit). During the pandemic, many US states have adopted RON (Remote Online Notarization), which is different from the 'old school' online notarization. However, RON requires to have a US mobile number from a major carrier in your name...

    How is it that so many Argentinians can move to the US?

    I thought those took decades... You can sponsor a spouse, even as a permanent resident, but it takes min. 2 years. If it is a sibling, parent, etc. it's 10 years. I am just reading La Nación and I don't know where they take their numbers from, which is why it is not very clear how is that...

    How is it that so many Argentinians can move to the US?

    How is it possible that 619 investor visa accounted for 212,400 Argentinians who moved to the US in 2019? Even if they had 5 dependants each, even if some are dual nationals... the numbers are not there.

    How is it that so many Argentinians can move to the US?

    La Nación reminds us weekly about Argentinian families and companies who took the plunge and moved abroad. But what really surprises me is the amount of Argentinians who are seamlessly moving from Argentina to the US. Perhaps a small percentage is a dual national, but how do the others do? What...

    Please fly Delta, they allow cats in the passenger cabin. Avoid cargo at all costs. There are just so many things that can go wrong, from the crates being mishandled at the airport, crushed by other luggage, the crate door opening, animals who froze to death because the heating was not turned...

    How can I buy an international money order in US dollars?

    Money orders cannot be sold online. They have to be bought in person. In some countries, Western Union offers international money orders. However, when I inquires to my local branch, they didn't have a clue of what I was talking about. Either you use a different payment method or ask a friend...

    Companies Flee Argentina, and Coronavirus Is Just One Reason

    They are dumb because even if they are rich, they keep living shitty lives in Argentina. If I had 40 millions dollars like Máximo Kirchner, I wouldn't spend my days in Argentina badly dressed and faking I am not rich. I have never seen these 'rich people' enjoying a luxurious vacation in a...

    Paying "expensas" by wire transfer from US bank?

    I initiate the transfer in ARS and it is converted to slightly better than the official rate (today, 71,3505) using my balance in USD. I still see this operation as allowed, so I don't see why it shouldn't work. I did it last one year ago when the blue was almost identical to the official rate...

    The Mysterious Pipers of Palermo

    There is also a popular scam involving them, and faking a misunderstanding on the price. Once the job is done, they keep asking more money. When you resist, an accomplice appears to suppor his pal. At that point, you are in trouble and have to give them what they want or else... Stay away!

    Paying "expensas" by wire transfer from US bank?

    I pay them using Transferwise, it works like charm. They use a local bank (BBVA, I think) for the actual payment to the consorcio, so the consorcio doesn't even know I am paying from abroad. It costs just 1-2 dollars (it depends on the transferred amount).

    Baking paper money to destroy virus

    If the first quote reads '60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) was not enough to kill the virus' and the second quote reads '92 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes could render the virus completely inactive' how on earth do you end up thinking that baking at 33 celsius if effective?! Just for...

    What's an effective way to promote a food product in BA?

    There is plenty of locals selling food on FB (viandas, cakes, salads, you name it). If yours are flour-free, you can try advertise on celiac groups. If you can make a dairy-free one suitable for vegans, there are several vegan groups, too. Unlike here, on FB the locals are not much worried by...
