The consulate is nervous about your wife entering as a tourist and then applying for permanent residency while in the USA. If her permanent residency were to be rejected (for a variety of reasons), then it would cost the USCIS a lot of money and time to deport her. The two best options for...

As you are more than aware, we here at Google do not share the same work ethic as the stereotype you have in your head about Latin American work environments. We expect our employees to actually be doing the work we pay them to do, not spending their time surfing the web randomly. When I saw...

Get back to work. Your time here at Google just got shorter.

So all your argument boils down to is that you think if a country has inflation then all of its economic policies are clearly insane. And that the great wise masses of Brasil would never permit any economic policy if it brought about any inflation whatsoever. Don't you understand that...

Really?? Does Brasil allow a dual currency regime to operate within its borders? I think not. does Brasil not have capital controls? Indeed it does. Does Brasil have one of the most stringent Import Substitution program in the world? Hell yes. Learn a little more about your country. The...

It's all very strange this outrage from expats over the pensioners. How many of these same expats have tried to receive a check from a foreign country denominated in a foreign currency in the US? Were they able to cash the check and receive foreign currency? Probably not!! If, and this is a big...

i'm sorry about how this change in ruling impacts you and others. I would like to point out to everyone that laws, rulings, regulations, etc...they all change. So never make decisions on the assumption that the laws of man will be the same tomorrow as they are today. There is a perfect old...

Good info on flying via Paraguay. Just one correction. the flight path is EZE-ASU-AGT, not ART

Police officers have this exact scenario happen quite a bit more frequently than you would expect. They are trained to have this not happen, but it does. And you think that you would fare better? Yes, I have witnessed such things. The vast majority will fail. Particularly the people with no...

Here is exactly where your approach breaks down. You write this statement about what you are going to do, as you sit at the computer with a calm mind. Unfortunately when you actually presented with a REAL fatal threat, it will be with the element of surprise and your reactions will be fuddled...

I've thought a lot about having a firearm in Argentina or some of the other countries I spend time in. I am a very experienced firearm user in my home country with many types of weapons; however i have chosen to NOT have a firearm in Argentina or other countries i spend time in. The reason...

While the USD restrictions do seem harsh to someone accustomed to living in a country without capital controls; the restrictions are totally normal for most countries that do have capital controls. And Argentina has had capital controls since the 2001 corralito. Actually the fact that there has...

Yes it seems that the seller and buyer can do the transaction in whatever currency or goods they so choose, as long as they write down a peso value on the transfer document. But, let's assume that you do the transaction in USD; how do you get the USD out of the country? Or into a bank account...

1. George Magnus 2. The USA, England, France, Canada. This list goes on. All jettisoned it. 3. New York University Don't bother to dispute these answers. It will only demonstrate your ignorance if you do. I've given you what you asked for, now please take your search to an appropriate forum.

No one is asking about the details of the crackpot theory you are promoting, so why are you offering it up? If you want to learn about economics, then try a different forum. This forum is called BAExpats - Expat Life. It has nothing to do with economic theories. Take your dogmatism to someplace...

This statement shows how little you know about the very nonsense you peddle.

Sorry, I misunderstood the OP. I thought it was a women lighting a man on fire. And since the OP was asking why it happens a lot (their words) in Argentina, I attempted to give an opinion as to why. I can't give blood as I have HIV, otherwise I would gladly give all my blood to help this abused...

I do appreciate the efforts to rid the world of Keynesian economics (as it was practiced in the mid 20th century), however, you are attempting to replace it with an even more nonsensical theory (Austrian - Von Hayek - Mises). And this babble theory which you are promoting is in fact fairly...

Perhaps in the particular professional classes you move in this type of behavior isn't rampant. However, I have seen this behavior, and the institutions which enable it, countless times on a near daily basis across many classes and regions in the country. For example, at every automotive...

It's not worth much. All this sounds good, but unfortunately it is nonsense. That being said, most of the widely held views about economics are nonsense so this is no surprise. As it seems you care about this type of topic, please investigate some heterodox economic schools of thought; in...
