After 50 days Precaria Still Stuck? – Supervisor Not Signing??

[Johngwyn]

Hello everyone

This is actually my second post. I first posted back in December, right before Christmas, after attending my Precaria interview. I passed it, but never got any updates, and my status has been stuck at "en trámite" ever since.

Since then, I’ve been to Migraciones HQ three times, most recently every week with my lawyer’s paralegal. Each time, the response was the same: "Nothing to worry about, just go home and wait."

Last Friday, I went again, and this time the official actually took about 10 minutes to check my case details properly. She had a big smile on her face and told me there is absolutely nothing to worry about—no observations, no memos and in fact, my Precaria is ready, but they can’t release it without the supervisor’s signature.

And this confuses me a lot. How come my interview was on December 18th, and now, on February 5th (the 50th day), I’m still waiting just for the first Precaria renewal? And just a signatue from supervisor? It seems like there’s nothing much I can do at this point, so what are my options?

I’ve read on this forum that multiple people mentioned Migraciones has a 90-day processing deadline policy. If they delay me beyond 90 days, what happens then? What actions can be taken?

Would appreciate any insights, this waiting game is so frustrating. Thanks!

We have now gotten 3 precarias, one a year. They always take months, and are never predictable. This is Argentina. Last year they lost my dni card, and told me, wait til next year. Patience, Iago.

File for "pronto despacho" or something like that, if you've been waiting a long time you can send a formal letter in and sometimes that works

It was 14 months for me though I was not really following up during the first year of pandemic shutdown.

Wow, 14 months for precaria renewal? That make my 50 days looks like a baby step

Great, I will learn more about it.

It was precaria for my residency. I applied in December 2019 and assumed it would finish in early 2020. Then March 2020 pandemic hit and we could hardly go to the store let alone the immigration office. I tracked online and with emails for a while until finally visited the office in 2021 to ask them to complete.

January was vacations plus the President sent a project of new immigration & citizenship law to the Congress so, it is natural that all is frozen.

Don’t hold your expectations high. I had one of the 11(!) renewals being held for over 90 days. The whole process that should have taken 3 months maximum took exactly two years… just to be passed to another organisation from where it still hasn’t come out of for 2 months.

The worst thing are the excuses that people give. I can understand to certain extent the holidays one, even though it’s taken to extremes here, but when an immigration lawyer here says it’s normal to delay things because there’s a new law that may or may not affect anything will probably be reviewed at some point later this year!?
Or, like in my case, “there is an election and there may be a new president with different views on things, we will just sit on our arses and wait to see”. All this seems to be acceptable. Take that into account when applying for anything in this country.
Good luck!

The length of delay is more than precaria itself seems overwhelming....
