Well, yes, I used the same WU app that I use when I am in the US. Customer service said it's because I was in DR. I spent a few months in DR, WU said there are restrictions there. My problem is now I am in Argentina and still got the same error message.

Good point! Thank you! I thought WU would charge me in dollars in stores as well. Well, I tried to make a transaction online today on the website, it says I can only send money in WU locations with cash. I called WU, they said it's because I have been in the Dominican Republic, there are some...

Do you guys know if it's possible to send WU within Argentina paying with a US debit card in stores? WU Buenos aires to WU Córdoba.

Thank you so much! Just did it. I used debit card as a payment method this time and it looks like the funds are already available for pickup/within minutes. Did you choose bank acount? I selected bank account yesterday, the money was going to be available on the Friday, June 17.

It has been more than 24 hours, will I get a 100% refund?

I did make a transfer of 750 bucks yesterday and the delivery date is June 17. Well, I felt 223 pesos was great yesterday but today I so regret it. 237. 35 seemed irrealist to me, how crazy is that!

I am moving to Entre Rios 😀

Congratulations again! Sometimes, Argentina can be very hard; I will keep you all posted throughout my process. I emailed the Court two times: 4 and 2 weeks ago requesting an appointment to drop off my documents and start the process, until now, nothing. No appointment. What a good way to start!

Congratulations! Darn it! Point 5 hurts :) Well, I will apply as a black man; if ever I get denied, I will do a "Michael Jackson". Jesus turned water into wine, and Michael Jackson black into white. I have an Argentine child though and I can afford a lawyer. But I am a lawyer back home and I...

Have you been able to send the email? I still haven't heard from them.

How long did it take you from initiating the case to getting the oficios ready for pick up?

They always ask me for one. Maybe because I am black and I have a 3rd world passport 😀

If you are not a resident of Argentina, there is a high chance they'll ask for a return ticket. What I always do: I buy the cheapest ticket I can find the morning of my flight to Argentina, as it takes me 12 hours to get there, I cancel the ticket once I clear customs at the airport in...

I did email them again this morning and it went through. Make sure you got all the letters right: [email protected]

You can apply at the Argentine Consulate in your home country/country of residence or when you arrive in Argentina. I applied for my permanent residency at a Consulate, it cost me about 850 USD while in Argentina it would cost way less but would probably take more time. I got it pretty fast...

How long does it take to hear from them with an appointment date? I emailed them on May 1, until now, nothing.

I did send them an email and it went through. I haven't heard back yet though.

If you don't need that super urgently, I can help. I am coming to Buenos Aires from the US on June 19, I can bring you USD bills cash for pesos at the Blue rate. As Western Union doesn't let me send money online, I will bring cash for several months.

You are the best! Thank you for the detailed information! Do you have any translator you can recommend? I work in the US, does a simple letter of employment verification will work? I am also afraid of telling them how much I am making for tax purposes, any other options besides a letter from my...

Thank you. I just realized it might be easier to just buy a cheap local car there, and drive 20 miles/hour to avoid getting killed in an accident. I am not sure these cars are safe.
