We are working with escribania on buying a house in Greater Buenos Aires. Now escribania is asking me to provide justification of origin of funds. And she wants it to be apostilled and translated. Is it normal to request such documents? What documents have you provided as such justification...

The result is definitely what I was expecting by looking at amount of sincere Trump's support outside of a few densely populated urban bubbles. Even Amish went voting in droves, all for Trump. But there was still fear that due to some tricks we could wake up to a different result. From my...

how do they see this? If a person has permanent resident (green) card then there are no US stamps in one's passport at all. In my case they asked me for background check from my birth country (which was actually different from my passport country). And I provided them my FBI background check...

wire transfer fee in American banks is usually fixed fee around $30 for any amount of transfer. Not percentage of transfer. So you can wire transfer $500k and still pay $30 fee. I think it's pretty cheap.
