I need someone who can come over occasionally, take my roommate to doctor appointments and just kind of be a friend to her. maybe make a meal now and again, though I mostly have that handled. You may have to help her shower? That's going to...

    Going back to the US soon. Anything I should know about my computer?

    I had to buy a new computer when I got here. I'm taking it back to the US with me, and I'm just wondering if I need a special converter for it beyond just the plug? The US has less voltage, right? So it should be fine?

    How much is the ferry

    I used to have a website bookmarked with the ferry prices, but I've lost it, and I can't find the post where I got it either. Does anyone have ferry prices? I remember the specific website I had wasn't as expensive as just googling it on my own, so that's what I'm looking for. Also, am I going...

    Can anyone recommend an english speaking lawyer who can help with my DNI?

    I need someone who's willing to sit down with me and just go over everything. I am mildly disabled, and while it doesn't usually come up, it is making this process an absolute nightmare. I can't understand, and I feel like I keep getting conflicting information. So I need more help than just...

    New DNI requirements, anyone got a walkthrough?

    I'm very overwhelmed by all this. Went to the police station to get my partner's certificado, and suddenly they don't do that anymore. Do we still need the FBI background check? Can any of you expats be my witnesses? Anything else terrifying that I should know about this?

    Is there a better way to get pesos than Western Union?

    I've been using Western Union for over a year now because I don't do it that often, but I heard it was $1,230 pesos per dollar today. Is there another way to take better advantage of this rate? I only have my debit card.

    Please can someone help me order something from the US? It's a semi emergency, and I can't do it on my own yet.

    I need these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256004872394 Last time I went to pick something up that shipped from another country, they asked me to prove that I'm here legally and wouldn't release it to me. I can't do that right now. I'm still working on it. But my partner desperately needs these...

    Can someone walk me through this step of the DNI process?

    OK, I went to the US embassy, and they gave me a card for being fingerprinted and an instruction page. I printed the form off like it told me to, and then I saw the part where I have to send this back to America. Do I actually have to do that step? I'm only confused because the lady helping me...

    Currently overstaying and can't afford the ferry or fee. Do I have other options?

    So yeah, I came here a year ago and started trying to get my DNI, but I was also battling pretty severe mental disability, and I just sort of stopped. I got scared.

    Went to post office. Am i going to get deported over this?

    I tried to buy some stuff off ali express, and i just went to correo argentino to pick it up. She said immigration has to allow it, and asked me to prove that Im here legally. Are they going to come after me now? Please tell me my fear is irrational. I can’t afford to leave.

    What medical insurance do you use?

    Looking for recommendations. Not sure if I've found a good deal or not. I didn't have any at all when I came here, but now I'm financially secure enough to start looking, and everything I've found through Google so far just looks so skeevy. Plus, I can't find one that will cover medication. I...

    Has the best way to get USD changed at all?

    I'm getting ready to pay my rent. Normally, I would go to Western Union with a ton of pesos and buy the USD that way (I have a learning disability, so I'm really bad at haggling.) But with all the upheaval, is there a better way now? Is it worth trying to find blue dollar at the moment? I...

    Can anyone recommend a good stovetop cleaner?

    I've been sick for the last few weeks, and now that I'm starting to finally feel better and get the apartment back in order, I've found the stovetop is perpetually sticky. Back in the States, I just used dish soap, but that doesn't seem to be helping here. I don't know if I left it too long or...
