Try www.conversationexchange.com. It's a website where you can meet Spanish-speakers who want to practice English. The point is to get together at a cafe or a park or where ever and spend half the time speaking in English and half the time in Spanish. If the idea of meeting up with random...

No, I don't think so. She specifically told me that they don't accept anything from the local police and that only the FBI form would do. Like I said, I think it might only be for work visas, because she seemed familiar with the local police form.

Thanks so much, Igor! I feel much better. As for the form from the local police- it doesn't seem to work for work visas. I was at immigration today (had an appointment and everything) and was told that my apostilled, translated local police form wasn't valid and that they would only accept the...

Hey everyone, I tried searching for an answer to this question on the forum but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone know if it is possible to send for an FBI background check from Argentina? Or does it have to be done in the U.S.? I'm working on getting my work visa (yay!) but this is the last...

I reccomend Carnal in Palermo Viejo. It's on Niceto Viega right across from Niceto boliche. It's small, but has an amazing terrace, a good drinks menu and I hear the food is good (only been there for drinks). Otherwise, Olsen is fun (and delicious) is you like a minimalist aesthetic and...

Try computrabajo.com.ar. You can select from quite a few different fields and can also use specific search terms. It's how I found all of the places I interviewed at. (For the record, I interviewed at 6 places and was offered a job on the spot at 4 of them).

Great! I'm so excited to meet you girls! I'll be there as well and most likely with a friend. For those of you who have never been to AcaBar it has a really fun atmosphere and lots of games and things, so I think we'll have a great time. See you all tonight!

Palermo sounds good to me. We could try Plaza Serrano and see if it's not too crowded. Also, I know there is a pretty nice bar/cafe there that is open 24 hours: I'm a little concerned that some places might not be open at six. If we wanted to meet at 8 we could go to AcaBar, one of my...

I also can't do Monday night! I would love to meet up with anyone on Sunday night, maybe we could pick a centrally located cafe? I'd be willing to arrange something if people still want to come on Sunday.

Hi everyone! I'm also thrilled to see people in the same situation as me! My name is Katie, I'm 22 and from WI. I've been here since August, teaching English and I live in Almagro. Sunday at any time would work perfectly for me! Hope to meet you all soon!

I'll be there and I'm bringing a friend as well! I already sent 2 emails to the events address, but I just wanted to be sure that our RSVP was received, since the lunch is tomorrow :D. Looking forward to meeting you all there!

I can confirm that you do NOT have to leave the country in order to get a student visa after entering on a tourist visa (I think the law was changed several years ago). I did this in 2007 (and I was even part of a program). KatherineAnn- I brought along the letter from the police station and...

Hey Isabella and others! I'd love to meet up for a drink with people sometime (it looks like I missed the meet up last night). So if you're planning another get together please send me an email at [email protected]. I'm from the US as well, been working here for about 4 months. Hope everyone...

I currently belong to a writer´s group here in BA, but I would be interested in joining up with another group. Also, a woman in my group just started a Writers in Buenos Aires blog (Writers in Buenos Aires) and is starting to organize events for literary minded folk. The first one is this Friday...

Patch, There are several companies that offer pay as you go cell phone plans. The biggest names are Movistar, Personal, and Claro. I have a Movistar phone that I bought a year ago and it still works great. Just walk along any major street in BA and you're sure to find a place, but if you want...

Hi everyone, I'm so bummed that I didn't read about the bar hop until this afternoon! Let me know if you plan another one anytime soon. I recently moved back to BA from the US, I'm 22 and teaching English (like everyone else, ha!). I would love to meet some new people. Send me an email if...

Hi everyone! I don't know if you've already met for lunch or coffee, but I would love to come to the next one and meet you all. I just moved back to BA three weeks ago. I'm 22 and from WI, living by Abasto. Please include me in the e-mail list for an outing at [email protected]. Thanks a lot...

I was under the impression that I have to wait 2 years to apply for a DNI. I'm not planning on staying past two years, so it doesn't really make sense for me, unless that's not true. My concern is less about withdrawing money and more about being able to deposit into an account because I'll be...

Hi, I'm moving to BA in a month and I'm trying to figure out what to do about a bank while there. I've learned that I can't open a bank account in BA without a DNI, but I can't deposit money into a US account either. For those of you who work in Argentina, what do you do? Do your jobs usually...

Hi. I just joined this group, but the e-mail encouraged me to introduce myself, so here I am. I spent Feb. through July of this year studying in Bs. As., and I'm moving back this coming July or so (I'm graduating in May). Like a lot of people, I'm planning on teaching English. Anyway, that's all...
