I have been using the same US mastercard on MercadoLibre for years. I used it as recently as Friday. But yesterday when I went to buy something, the card wasn't listed on my payment options. So I tried to enter it again at checkout and I got a message that "The operation doesn't accept this...

Yes, but they only do delivery and only in the Tigre/Nordelta area. They also have lots of other yummy keto items. PM me

I did it about 14 years ago.The biggest obstacle was the the consulate was totally disorganized. After waiting for the only officer in charge of visas to come back from a month's vacation, I was told that the rules on the website that I had been told to follow were incorrect. I pushed back...

Yes. Thank you for posting this. It is inspiring, and we need inspiration these days.

It's not that hard to pay with a credit card and then hand the waiter a cash tip. In his/her hand. Don't leave it on the table.

Several months ago, I called Hospital Aleman to make a dermatology appt. and they told me the first one available was in two months. They don't have dermatology in the guardia, but the scheduler told me that if I went to the dermatology department at Juncal 2450, up one floor, before 10 or 11...

I am a US citizen with an Argentine spouse who has a green card. We want to get a tourist visa for his adult son to come visit us in the US. I looked at the visa application form on the US embassy website, and it looks like a nightmare of details. Is there a service or agency we can pay to do...

I got the same Santander notice. As I read it, if I am okay with the 4 x SMVM, then I don't have to do anything. Is that right? I don't work here. The notice said they needed to know more about my finances. "Es por eso que, si no tenés registrada tu actividad formal en la AFIP (ya sea...

Agree with Brian. Our experience in 2014-15 was that we entered in October. We got married end of Dec. and in Jan applied for green card. No problems. We also received legal advice to leave some time between entering before (marrying and) seeking green card. You need to have enough time...

A visiting friend wants to extend her stay and needs some more USD to pay rent and other expenses in USD. Is there any easy way to get dollars in Buenos Aires? As a one-time deal, not ongoing.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting explanation of what is going on in politics here.

For the full 50% spouse must be 65. At 62, they can get a benefit but reduced. The formula is here:

Maybe there are some benefits that require 10 years, but not this one. my husband and I are not yet married 10 years. i don't remember our exact timeline, but this reference from SSA says it is one year. https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-01999

Not true. I'm alive and my spouse gets the benefit.. but she might still get it "even" if he is already dead.
