I hope the gyms don't close :(

Wintermild, thanks very much for that post! That is the exact process that I was anticipating; I'm glad that there is another on the forums in this situation.

I read that digital fingerprints are the best to use in this process. Ink on paper is not commonly accepted by the FBI.

I think in "a few years", a lot has changed in the processes. First, if you take a look at this link http://estatico.buenosaires.gov.ar/areas/educacion/gestion_privada/docs/guia-alumn-extr.pdf you can see the whole tramitacion. You mentioned how they took a look at your school documents in...

Well, after going to the ministry and school 4 times total, 2 with my native girlfirend- a med student in UBA, I have a feeling that I haven't misheard anyone on the topic. The anecdotes from other expats are "years ago" and not 100% in my situation. Both the high school and ministry have told...

UPDATE #6 Went to the ministry today. They told me that I have to study the 3 materials only (I guess the test reciently changed from 6 to what it is now). I can find the books/study material at the high school that I went to, and I can talk with a professor if I have any questions. Also, I...

Thanks Steve, Looks like I just need the FBI report and school documents then. That will save me some time!

UPDATE #5 Just got back from the school again. I was told this time that I need to have a piece of paper to bring to the school from the ministry of education. They said it has what I need to pass for my equivalency on it. I was never told this... I think the called it the articles of studies...

Hey expats, I am going to the USA in July for 3 weeks and I will be doing my tramites while I am up there. Currently, I am in the process of applying to La UBA and I need to pass a test of secondary school equivalency and supply my diploma+transcript. In addition to those documents, I will be...

UPDATE #4 Went to the high school today; I posted the address earlier on in the thread. It was a grimy, coarse building but had an open air court. I talked with a man at the front desk and he pointed me to a room called "fotocopias" where I could go and get copies of study material. Lucky me...

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.

Thanks for all the input, guys. It looks like a pension rental would be the cheapest option. Just basic bed, kitchen and bathroom is all I need. I like those especially since they are cheap AND wthout a contract.

Hey expats, I am putting a spreadsheet of expenses together and I want to know the minimum cost for an apartment in a neighborhood like Boca, San Telmo or Constitucion. I am figuring out the bare minimum to live here. I checked craigslist, but they all seem to be ads for Palermo or Recoleta...

You know, I've lifted for a few years and had a huge passion about strength and nutrition. It might be a good time to turn that hobby into a source of living.

From the kind of feedback this post has provided, it seems that teaching english is the worst option. This would be worse if I was working in the black. When you say "trabajo blanco", that is the work that I am looking for. Right now, I am in the process of obtaining my student visa and then my...

No offense taken, I'm just looking for a job of any type. An aquantaince of mine lives here and is from the US. He says that he earns a few bucks from teaching, but we do not talk much. Another option, through craigslist and facebook, could be bartending or as a receptionist in a hotel.

What other ways? I know bars that are popular w/ expats like to hire those who speak english and spanish.

A basic & online TEFL course runs about 200 USD. Bradly, would you believe this to be beneficial in any way?

I find it hard to believe that I can make a steady profit by flying cowboy shirts from the US to BsAs. If I was going to push something internationally, it would definitely be of greater value than clothing.

Hi expats, I was going to post this in the Jobs forum but that seems more about offers and advertising. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here has earned cash through lessons in English. As of right now, I am in the process of getting my DNI and applying for Universities here. In the...
