For the estadounidenses not on the State Dept mailing list...
Join consular officers from the U.S. Embassy for an American Night happy hour at the Hard Rock Café in Buenos Aires! The event will take place next Wednesday, February 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This event provides a chance to network with U.S. citizens and Argentines and to receive answers on questions about services the Embassy offers to U.S. citizens, including passport renewals, federal benefits, transmission of citizenship to your children, documenting births overseas as U.S. citizens, and visas. The Hard Rock Cafe will offer happy hour specials and discounted food for all in attendance. We hope to see you there!
Have you completed your Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) for the year? Though there are no regularly-scheduled elections for Federal offices this year, there may be local elections in your district. Regulations require absentee voters to submit the FPCA yearly to request ballots for any elections during the calendar year. All U.S. citizens will have an opportunity to register to vote and request absentee ballots through the Federal Voting Assistance Program during American Night. For more information please visit www.fvap.gov. Please note you will need your voting address in the United States to register.
We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Argentina enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don’t have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Regularly monitor the State Department’s website, where you can find current Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and the Worldwide Caution. Read the Country Specific Information for Argentina. For additional information, refer to the Traveler’s Checklist on the State Department’s website.
