    Getting US permanent residency for your foreign spouse is about to get harder...

    This was 11 years ago, but it only took about 3 months after filing the paperwork to get my husbands work permit & 1 &1/2 years to get permanent residency. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Getting US permanent residency for your foreign spouse is about to get harder...

    I'm confused, if you are going to have to do the paperwork in the States then you should be able to move there & start the paperwork.

    Birth Certificate for Permanent Residency NOT necessary?

    Nope, I don't have a DNI. My kids should be getting their DNI's anyday now, but I either have to wait for the interpol report or go through the FBI process again. Now if only my Argentina husband would stop talking about how screwed up this country is & how we should move back to Florida I would...

    Bariloche Long-Term Rental Website

    Once you get past KM 17/18 it is like being in the middle of nowhere (for me at least). The spacing of housing here is better than it was in Florida, I don't know how it is in Colorado.

    We rented a 2 bedroom house for only $1500 pesos & paid 6 months in advance because we thought that was all we would need. Ended up paying monthly for the last 6. We got lucky. But we were looking at another house to rent as well & they were going to it the same way as well.
