    Work Visa Renewal

    Help, My job is asking me to pay a lawyer an 850 peso fee to help me renew my VISA. Is it really that complicated? Is there a good site that explains the procedure well (best in English), so I can convince them I can do it myself? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Xoom Vs Ria

    Just passed the bank verification process. Now, I'm waiting for the transaction to go through. Have you called them to see if you can send money to yourself? Don't give them your info, just ask about their policy. 1-877-443-1399

    Xoom Vs Ria

    No, I'm sending money to my wife's account. The two test deposits haven't hit my checking account yet, so I'm not at the verify stage yet. I'll update here when it happens.

    Xoom Vs Ria

    I have a VPN. I'm doing a test transfer with Ria to a local bank account. I'll give an update when it's complete or fails. The final exchange rate is lower than first advertised, but still better than Xoom. For example, they advertised $8.5260, but the actually gave me $8.16 after fees. Xoom is...

    How Do You Get Your Us/english Tv Fix?

    I watch US TV all the time, mostly through Hulu. There several options, but I use two mostly. 1) In Firefox and Chrome, there is a free extension you can install called Media Hint.

    Bilingual, International.. Home School?

    It's a Christian school, but I'm pretty sure you could graduate on time if you went to BAICA (www.baica.com). My wife is a teacher there. They are on the American system.

    Xoom At 8.06 Today

    I've done this. You probably hit the AR$40,000 mark. Send the info to Xoom AND take it in to MORE. It'll be much faster that way.

    My Search For A Spanish School

    My wife went to Verbum over a year ago and I went in 2006 when they were in another location. I've enjoyed them, but I no longer live close to Almagro to attend. They are a good school. Doubters: I can't speak for the OP, but check my history on the forums, I'm not paid by them nor am I...

    All I know is that you have to file a denuncia at your local police station first. AR$10, I believe. They'll give you a printout to keep with you.

    Opening A Bank Account By A Non-Resident Tourist

    Yes. You need a CUIL for sure. Maybe a few other things too. My wife has an account here using her U.S. Passport and CUIL, I believe. She has a legit job too. They set it up for her.

    Slightly differently than your issue, but I waited on Telecom to come and install for two months before I finally followed all my friends and neighbors' advice to call Fibertel. They came in a week and I'm up and running.

    Spike In Blue Rate

    Depends on who you sell to. You should normally be able to get 90-95% of the blue rate without many problems. 8.75 * .9 = 7.88 (U$S to AR$ 1) 8.75 * .95 = 8.31 (U$S to AR$ 1)
