I've been living here in the ciudad for a little over a year and the honeymoon was well over by the third month. My husband was born and raised here but after working for 5 years in NY he does agree with me that this is not the ideal place to live. Cost of living, food and clothing is very...

San Cor makes 0% Leche. It is skim milk. Look for the pink box - usually not with the cold milk.

Degree is Rexona here. A lot of brands are the same as they are in the US. For example Ala is Tide, Dove exists here, Neutrogena, Oil of Olay, etc. My husband uses Old spice - it comes in a stick here. What I would bring with you, like the others have said, anything that requires a...

Yay Brooklyn! I was living in Bay Ridge up until June!

So sorry I missed it!! I'm 30ish and married to an Argentine. Just moved here in June but we are planning to stay for the long haul. Would love to come next time! Thanks Sivan for organizing something! I will email you my contact info so that I can maybe join the next one?

Hello! I finally got here 3 weeks ago and my husband and I adopted a 1 year old mutt from Mascotas en Adopcion. He's wonderful however needs some socialization. I take him to Parque Chacabuco everyday and notice all the dogwalkers in one part of the park and thought this would be a good way...

I just got word that my FBI Background check was rejected b/c of the fingerprints. Would anyone know how I can get this done quickly here? I'm stressed because, even though I married an Argentine, all of my things are in storage in the US and they will not move them here until I have proof...

No snarkyness here so no need to take offense. My husband was watching the game and described something a bit different - involving a red card? I will look it up on ESPN.

Did you watch the game?

So sorry that happened to you! Glad you are safe!!

Please don't cry - take a deep breath!! You don't have to go back to the US to do it. You can submit the request from there. It would probably have to go back to the FBI to have them have an Official sign so that it CAN be apostilled by the US Office of Authentications. I'm still trying to find...

Hi Citygirl - thanks but I can't do it at the consulate here b/c he has to be here for the appointment along with all of my documents being translated etc. He has to be back in BsAs right after the wedding (no honeymoon :o( ) So i'm back to square one! Thanks for your advice though!

FYI Just got off the phone with the FBI. They are not expediting requests at this time. The average wait time for the background check to go through is 13 weeks. Also, if you need the check to go to another persons address, you need to create a cover letter with the date the request was...

Has anyone run into an issue where their background check was issued post 1/25/2010 and it wasn't apostilled so it was rejected? Just trying to save myself some time instead of having to wait another 20+ business days...

This is actually new (1/25/2010). It can be apostilled. The division officer at the FBI signs and has the request stamped with a seal. The FBI officers signature is "authenticated" with the US Secretary of States Office of Authentication. If it's not required in Argentina, all the better. We...

Dont' have that much time. I'm getting married June 5, moving to BsAs on the 18th. The movers will not move my things until I get a "provisional visa" which is just a 90 day visa given to those who are applying for permanant residency. Can't get that until I have my background check.... Would...

Thanks! Geeze thats a long time! I am living in NY right now and am expediting my request so we'll see how long it takes for me. Probably a month but I really hope it comes sooner! Also found out that I have to have it apostilled by the US Department of State which adds another 20 business...

Same issue here. Getting my background check now and will be moving down there in June. I'm afraid that the gap in timing might cause an issue.

Have a WONDERFUL trip!!

He already has a tourist visa. The state dept. explained that it made no sense to apply for a K-1 because we will not be living in the U.S. We plan on living in BsAs. Which leads me to get all of my paperwork together - FBI background check etc- probably after I'm married as I will have to...
