The other part is that someone gave them my proper address in the meantime, because migraciones didn't have it.

Hey Peony no I told them I was doing citizenship and even cited article 20 of the constitution, since the whiz kids in migrations have no idea that going direct for citizenship is possible. When I refused to sign for the 30-day notice they acted like they were going to detain me on the spot and...

As mentioned above I've been destroyed financially here and am involved in a lawsuit concerning that so no $3000 handy at the moment. I've recommended him to others though. And anyway I qualify for citizenship just that they are making it difficult for me, just like in immigrations. Like they...

I have an article on student visas on my website. I really like Lenguas Vivas, neat buiding and great teachers. The administration is terrible though.

Citizenship. Yes, I was trying to renew in 2006 as well, I think perhaps they were trying to make it difficult for me in order to get bribes. I don't even know how to bribe really and the dishonesty here is the number one thing that bothers me about Argentina. When I lived in India during...

I went to migracions to get a piece of paper they had from when I did my two-year residency that the secretary in the juzgado said I needed for my citizenship (even though online it doesn't say that I need it: http://www.pjn.gov.ar) Instead of giving me the original document I needed that they...

Thanks ya'll. Tom, I have had pretty good experiences with lawyers in the US, but if this situation was in the US it would have been resolved without lawyers in small claims years ago and the city would have done something since there is an important safety issue putting my life in danger...

I disagree with the rest of your comments, but I thought exactly this when I read the post: This place has made my tolerance threshold for annoyances such as that quite high. Got overcharged by ten pesos? Don't sweat the small stuff! Aggressive sexual harrassment on the street? Don't sweat the...

Yep if you think there is a beach here keep researching! Hopefully there won't be too many other things to disillusion you. Have a good time!

I'm a bit confused how my posts are getting changed. Anyway, I think the difference is that Argentina has a relatively small population for all the land it has and the right population of immigrants could bring some fresh air and help the country out. Well the secretary in the juzgado says...

Thank you for the responses! It is comforting to know I'm not alone as far as being driven around the bend with lawyers. Tex, I may take you up on that although since this is an involved case with a lot of details and paperwork, to start all over again might send me straight to El Borda. I'm...

Lately, in my bed, hiding under the covers with my cats curled round... (Yes I seem to have bad juju here too). Actually I have some special places such as an underground boliche and secret garden in La Boca, the colorful Dominican fried chicken joint in Abasto that makes for great people...

"said to be delicioso" means the writer has never been there. Dirty secret of travel writing, probably sponsored.

Is it impossible to find a lawyer who works on a contigency basis? I have an open/shut case, everything documented but have incurred so much financial and personal damage because of this situation that paying up front for the lawyers on top of the losses is proving difficult. A friend of mine...

They sell organic chicken, eggs and other products at the BA organic market, Peru & Chile, Tuesdays and Fridays. Last time I went the guy wanted AR$96 for a scrawny little chicken. I balked. He proceeded to tell me how much that was in euros and dollars. :rolleyes: I have no idea who is buying...

Ja for me the life coaches are the tacheros! Free, and way better than shelling out for one of the thousands of Freudian shrinks here.

Great idea, provided the separation is amicable. Previous discussions don't hold up in court though and there isn't any prenup/precustodial legal document that can guarantee you'll get travel permission for the kid from the other parent.

Some of the English-speaking expats I know that are stuck here b/c of the kids often end up teaching English for 20 years, what a drag. What the court considers in both countries is the 'habitual residence' of the child, so not only do you want to have the kid in the U.S., you want that to be...

Huh? Fox news would never suggest (or reveal) that the U.S. is more corrupt than Argentina. And nearly every single thing Ed mentioned is indeed happening.
