Hey expats, I read a few posts about expats running to Colonia and back to get another 90 day stamp. However, many have said that this is as illegal as overstaying and that I could be detained in Eze Airpoirt the next time I come back. I have experience in overstaying here. I arrived in...

Thanks for the honesty, that's what I truly appreciate. I understand that this is just a forum and not a personal advisor. Though, I imagine there are others who were once in my place who could offer their 2 cents.

Wow, I have seen mercadolibre and craigslist quotes between 100-200. Anything above, you must be teaching in offices and real professional English. Is that your sole income here?

I am currently looking at other jobs as an english teacher. There a few craigslist posts that offer wages in the 100+ per hour. A better question would be, how much does a DNI help with wages? Is having a documented job any better? I know that they offer insurance, but is the pay is any greater?

Hi expats, Recently I have begun the tramite of my DNI. About a month ago, I sent in my fingerprints for my FBI report and I have a 2 month wait for the paper. Additionaly, I have registered myself for a university here. By October, I should have all my documents to present for a DNI. After...

UPDATE 9 Hey there expats, I havent update recently but I figured I would let you all know whats going on. Since my last post I have registered myself with La UCA, starting the semester in March. I continue with my job of teaching english. The pay is not great but I DO get a free gym...

Hey expats, I am currently on the hunt for a new Wi-Fi router. The one that we currently have in the house has a limited signal and disconnects often. A friend of mine is coming down in a few weeks and I was thinking of asking her to bring Linksys or Netgear brand equipment. Naturally I...

Thanks for the info you guys!

Woohoo! I just went to the BCA and I printed out 3 cards of the digital finger scans. I am sending the fingerprint card with the application and credit card info. In three months (hopefully less) I should have a background report ready for an apostle. I was in lucky to have an apt today since I...

Hey expats, I am in the US until Saturday and then I go back to Buenos Aires. I am grabbing my school transcript and diploma to bring back and I am still missing my FBI background check. The proccess seems simple, 1) Fill the paper application 2) Go to police station and fill out fingerprint...

UPDATE #8 It's been awhile everybody! Back in the US for a few more days.. I now have my diploma and transcript with apostilles. Also getting fingerprints done tomorrow. I will have those shipped down after I go back to BsAs. Any other documents that I should bring back?

Ughh. We covered this already. The process has changed within the past few months. For countries without agreements, you must pass 3 exams in August or December to have your title for next year. Nothing more.

UPDATE #7 Not a big update. Just gathering my study materials for the test in December. If anyone is interested, I can post copies/scans online. I talked with a colleague of my dad's, an Argentine public accountant, and I was advised to look into a private school like UCA. It's not free, but...

Incredible girls down here. You will have no problem making friends and meeting women in in the bars. I don't know if you would call that dating though. :D I have met a good deal of friends through the park by my house (Las Heras) and the gym. If you are into any hobby, I would advise going to a...
