    Pay Your Debt Cfk

    OK, lol. You really go out of your way to sound both eloquent and condescending....However that doesn't make you sound intelligent but rather like a prick that has too much time on his hands. Even though you gave a response to your own questions directed at me, I'll answer from them my...

    Pay Your Debt Cfk

    Not me.......This article is a joke and the writers are biased (take a look at their titles). They also need to read up on the basics of economics and legal contracts. For one, They were wrong to state that a ruling for Arg. to pay back the "vultures" would open up the 93% to collect their...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    Sorry to say but that's a kind of a stupid analogy. If you can buy the Pesos at a particular bank, it's not unreasonable to think that it could/would buy them back. Considering they are selling them to begin with gives the indication that they are doing some type of currency trades to have a...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    Could be.....I'm not sure. I need to check into it with some friends in the U.S banks who can tell me for certain if they buy back the pesos or not.. When I bought the pesos from the bank, it was a little over a year ago. I can't imagine that there is no way to get the pesos converted back into...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    Citibank has a service that exchanges foreign currency (most branches can do it), and do not charge a fee if it's over 1000.00 (equivalency US). It's not cashing it however. They take the currency, give you the estimate of what it will be in dollars (going by the rate on that day). Then the...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    I didn't say cash them. You can take them to your bank in the U.S and they will send them off to their back office for conversion, then deposit the money in dollars in your account. I don't know if the smaller banks offer this service, but the larger ones certainly do (especially in larger...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    People would want to take pesos to deposit them in their bank account in their country, which would do the conversion. There are permanent residents here who have accumulated pesos from dollar conversions but are unable to open up a bank account (due to employment regulations).

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    From what I understand, you can take up to 10k (equivalent to dollars) on the plane.. Has anyone tried this and had issues? I generally would have no problem but I tried to open a bank account here, and as a permanent resident, I could not unless I provide proof of a job here.....The policies...

    Has Anyone Been To The U.s Embassy/consulate

    Thanks for all your responses, they were helpful. From what I gather on my own it seems that you cannot apply for a green card for your spouse through the embassy any long....but you have to send all the documents to the U.S. I'm going to try and make a visit for some additional information.

    Has Anyone Been To The U.s Embassy/consulate

    Just wondering if you needed an appointment, and if they allow an Argentinian spouse to accompany you in. I wanted to check it out and get information about various programs and possibly even start the application process to get a green card for my Argentinian spouse.

    Info. On Getting A Fingerprint Card Through The Fpa Please

    I need to get an FBI background check. Speaking with someone at the U.S embassy, they said just go to any FPA and they will supply me will fingerprint me and I can send it internationally. The problem is that I'm reading tons of conflicting information online about whether or not you can get...

    Argentine Alien Resident = Mercosur?

    Interesting, My DNI does say "extranjero" at the top, along with my country of origin. It does give the permanent status on it however. I received mine last November, so maybe it is a new thing.

    Argentine Alien Resident = Mercosur?

    Jessie From my understanding, the answer is No. Your Permanent Residency card will have your country of origin on it and say "extranjero" across the top. It's my understanding that you need to be an actual citizen of a MERCOSUR country to work in Brazil and it will be obvious from the card you...

    Expat With B.s In Business & Perm. Res. Looking For Work

    Thank you for the advice and information. I've thought about doing my own business but the tax/tariff situation is nuts (not to get political). Still weighing some scenarios and figuring out what would be the most enjoyable and lucrative at the same time. I never thought I'd end up here, but...
