I will try to make.

I have been reading this Forum occasionally for several years, but never been to Coffee Chat. Today I plan to make it. See you there.

Just an update on my son's DNI situation. I had made an appointment at Renaper for Sat. June 5, then got an email that it was cancelled due to the weekend lockdown. Made another for Sat. June 12 at Renaper (corner of Libertador and Bullrich). Got there and there were about 4 people with...

Great. Thanks for the info. Got a turno for this Saturday. We shall see. I will keep you posted.

My 15 year old son's DNI expired the end of November 2020. He and I both have permanent residency in Argentina and my wife, his mother is Argentine. I have searched through the Forum and been to the Renaper site but am still a bit confused First, just because the DNI card is expired does not...

Yes, that is awful and does not make any sense. That was not our experience at all. Our son was delivered via C-Section at Austral with no issues or problems.

We live in Pilar and my wife delivered our second son in Hospital Austral in 2010. Our first son was born in the U.S. in 2006. As far as the hospital facilities, knowledge and training of the doctors and level of pre and post-natal mother/baby care, I found no difference at all between the 2...

I live in a "Country" in that area of Pilar and have had satisfactory Internet service from Cablevisión/Fibertel for 10 years. I do not have much to compare it to; I also have Fibertel in my office in Capital.

I was on the faculty for many years at a major U.S. University and now live in Buenos Aires. In the past I have proctored an exam for a U.S. University student here in BA. The student took the exam in the Conference Room in my office. Let me know if I can help.

When we moved from the U.S. to BA in 2006 we used an International moving company called Wheaton. They contracted with a local company here in BA called KRP Movers. Our 40 foot container arrived on time, went through Customs rapidly and everything was unpacked at our house and the packing...

dgonzalez, I live in Pilar and several years ago when we arrived, I took Spanish classes from an Argentine woman who actually teaches English to physicians at Austral Hospital. I am still in contact with her as we (the teacher, myself and several of the folks from Austral) get together once a...

I can recommend Dr. Carlos Zublin at the Clinica del Sol. I think that he is an excellent and also a well known orthopedic surgeon. He operated on me and installed 9 screws and a metal plate in each of my arms following an accident. Nearly 100% recovery after one year of PT. I visit him once...

I have a question regarding monthly transfers of U.S. Dollars (USD) from my U.S. bank account to an Argentine (peso) bank account. I am a U.S. citizen and an Argentine Permanent Resident. If I have declared this monthly income (USD) to AFIP and I need to use the resulting pesos to justify my...

I have done it many times (both inside and outside) and never had a problem.

Ojo. There are other consequences to marrying an Argentine.

ejcot. Thanks, but the issue with the wifi repeater is at best, you will loose 50% of the speed (as I understand it), but the real issue again (I have a repeater) is that the repeater has to receive a strong signal in order to repeat it. So in the current situation the repeater would have to...

Anybody have Fibertel 12 Megas Wifi? We had the 3 Megas in our house in Pilar and it worked "OK" for years. Last week I changed to 12 Megas Wifi. Fibertel had to send someone to the house to change the modem/router, because apparently the "old" modem/router could no be used with the 12 Megas...

I travel this route daily and it will save 15-20 minutes on an hour and 15 minute commute. That is significant! Apparently this had been stalled for years with in-fighting between the City and National government, but miracles do happen. My family and I thank those politicians and others...

I have been driving nearly the entire length (from autopista Illia to Ave. Belgrano) of 9 de Julio at least twice a day for several years. So my comment's are from a car commuters viewpoint. It remains to be seen whether or not the new MetroBus will improve the flow of traffic, however, I have...

It’s not a matter of points or no points on your license; it is a matter (at least with Avis) of your residency. I reserved and paid (with a U.S. credit card) in full for the cheaper ($323) rate. Of course I will have my DNI with me to prove Argentine Residency, but it just seems a bit odd...
