I'm selling my great Dahon bicycle on another post, and haven't gotten any message about it as of yet. I go to post it on mercadolibre, and what do I see? Someone else has posted MY BICYCLE with MY SHADOW. I appreciate it if you are trying to find any buyers, but the bicycle is still in my...

Hey all, I´m trying to figure out the best way to bring my Argie to live with me in the US. I am starting to realize that getting a work visa may be almost impossible and so have come to the conclusion that it is faster, easier, and less expensive to get married. Does anyone have personal...

Hello, I have finally convinced my Argentine girlfriend to move to the US with me. We have an interview scheduled in September at the US embassy for a tourist visa, with which we plan to visit my family in December. If she likes the idea, we will then apply for a work visa (I'm not ready to...

Hello all, I apologize if this subject has been beaten to death, but I have ran into more than 3 yanks at the US embassy with absolutely no clue on how to obtain temporary residency / DNI. When I receive my antecendente penal from Piedras tomorrow I am going to reserve a turno at Migraciones...

I just got back from Venezuela with my Argentine girlfriend. For a month we traveled the coast from Caracas to Colombia. I know most of SA, (minus Brasil and Ecuador) and Venezuela has been my LEAST favorite country. The exchange rate is rigged by the government, so unless you want to pay...

Hello all, I recently moved into my Argentine girlfriends small apartment in Palermo. I had stayed there before but I never really realized how long I'd be in this city. About a week ago, the skeleton key (normal type here) ceased to function for the door. The problem was that we were...
