Don't waste your time or money with Celano. His assistant Lucia Gauna neither replied to me nor to my Norwegian friend when we inquired about their services. All she does is enter the same data into Radex that you can do. Probably most people here can recommend an official translator who can...

Thanks for the memories Perry. You made me laugh. Lived in Santa Cruz for six years. Sure, you can eat for $1 at places such as the Mutualista market; which is a bargain after your intestinal microbiome learns to coexist with e.coli., giardia and salmonella. Have a lot of vivid memories there...

Not having been to the U.S. for some time I appreciate the comparative price information posted here. While living in South America for the majority of the last 19 years, I would often spend summers in south Florida to be repaired at the local VA Medical Center. I just looked at the rental...

Been here a long time and never had an interest to go there. It's a ripoff joint for tourists. Not impressed with Argentine beef in the least. It is bland and hyped. I'll take Texas or North Carolina barbecue over Argie beef any day.

I bought a Pacsafe V100 hip pack and now ride the Subte without a care. Previously I lost two wallets and a cell phone to pickpockets; which was my fault for not securing them. I don't think like a thief and so I was careless. There are many thieves and unethical people in Buenos Aires who will...

Update - here is a better email address: [email protected] The US Embassy FBU recently sent me my income validation letter with the embassy imprimatur / signature in less than 24 hours. Very efficient. Be advised that the letter that you receive from FBU is password protected. Migraciones...

Presuming that you are situated in Buenos Aires, if you intend to present a Social Security benefits letter, unless the situation has changed, the U.S. State Department will not affix an apostille to the letter because the signature is a copy of an original. Migraciones knows this and will...

Thanks primarily to Axel Kicillof, the only wave that Presidente Milei has been involved in lately is the tsunami under which he was buried on 30JUN25 by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan who ordered Argentina to transfer a 51% stake in YPF by 14JUL25 to BNY Mellon. Then, within 24...

That is great news Bajo_cero2 as I would not want any good person to be exposed to the dysfunctional ineptness of Migraciones. My case was assigned in early May; for which I thank the fates.

Anyone entertaining the idea of interacting with Migraciones should prepare themself for the ordeal by first reading "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and understand that you will soon become the antagonist, Josef K.

I was informed by both a long-term manager at Migraciones and by an experienced, immigration focused gestor that the requirement for permanent residency is three years in possession of a DNI. However, given the overall lack of competence and professionalism there, you may receive other...

That is precisely correct and it is the sole reason for my citizenship solicitation. Migraciones is not composed of good people nor competent people.

I have four decades of experience visiting and living in Buenos Aires. I lack words even in English to describe the Medusa that is Migraciones. I have an acquaintance in Migraciones who said to make a single deposit of 5X the minimum salary into my bank account and present proof of the deposit...

I went to Migraciones yesterday for information and learned that to qualify for permanent residency one must have three years with a DNI. Time with a precaria and with a prorroga do not count. Unfortunately, this puts me out of consideration for permanent residency for some time since I spent...

Frank, Bajo_cero2 was kind enough to reply to my same question by stating that the decree is not retroactive; which was a relief. However, this being Argentina well, you know how things can change. I await a next step from Court # 5 after receiving my Caratula.

Many thanks to you Bajo_cero2. I am relieved. The fecha asignación on my Caratula was 5th May 2025. I'll wait to hear from the court; not Migraciones.

Does anyone know with certitude if citizenship applications already in progress before DNU 366 will remain with Ministerio de Justicia or, will they be transferred to Migraciones; which is my existential nightmare.

Alby, if this decree is not retroactive, I will be safe by about three weeks since my Caratula is dated in early May and the case remains pending before the court. But who knows? Perhaps all pending judicial cases will be transferred to Migraciones? If so, there will likely be countless...

Bajo_cero2, this doesn't seem like "fake news" to me. And if adjudicating citizenship requests is now within the authority of Migraciones, I feel sorry for those having to deal with them as I must do in mid-September. Bajo_cero2, this doesn't look like fake news to me. Rather, it looks to be...

Anna, I think that Bajo_cero2 may be right about Courtroom # 5 being the worst in CABA. I just looked at photos of Judge Patricio Maraniello on the internet and my first impression is not positive. I will inquire about requesting a switch of courtrooms.
