Applying for citizenship via email

[srpez]

On Monday May 12th, I followed the instructions published by the government and went to Talcahuano 550, Planta Baja, Oficina 2083 with the form and of the required documents, hoping I could start the process in person. Instead, they gave me this instruction sheet* and this form and told me that they only start new cases by email and that it could take them 15-20 days to process the email.

I emailed the form and the documents on Monday and so far haven't received anything, not even an automated "we've received your email" message.

I had to have a relative bring copies of the exact same thing that I emailed to the court within 5 days of the original email.

Within 5 days of sending your email, or 5 days of receiving a response? How long did it take them to reply to your original email?

* Searching for the original instruction form they gave me, I also found this alternative instruction sheet which seems to contain the same information in a better format, plus a little more detail about each of the steps. It might be helpful to anyone else going through this.

There are no automated responses. Everything is manual until it is reviewed.

They replied to my email with all the documentation in about 12 days. I had 5 days after their response to hand-deliver the documents to them. Thanks for that instruction sheet! The court tells you to email directly the assigned judge and secretary (once you have an assigned case), and they gave me this link to find the email addresses of the judges/secretaries: https://pjn.gob.ar/publico/b0742a574fe8db987ed6f7117a381a5e-11212023120649.pdf But the link doesn't work and I keep telling them that.

I searched google for "b0742a574fe8db987ed6f7117a381a5e-11212023120649" and came up with what looks like a cached copy of the form. You have to wait 30 seconds to see the document and they make you register to download it so I'm pasting its contents here:

MAILS CORRESPONDIENTES A CADA UNA DE LAS SECRETARIAS EN LAS QUE TRAMITAN LAS SOLICITUDES DE CARTA DE CIUDADANÍA.

Los interesados/as deberán tomar nota de la direccién de e-mail que corresponda a la Secretaría donde tramita su solicitud de ciudadanía y enviar un correo electrónico a la misma con los datos de identificación pertinentes para activar la continuación del trámite.

Searching for "MAILS CORRESPONDIENTES A CADA UNA DE LAS SECRETARIAS EN LAS QUE TRAMITAN LAS SOLICITUDES DE CARTA DE CIUDADANIA," I also found this document, which matches the information pasted above and is hosted on the same server that has the instruction sheet and the form

WARNING: all of the email addresses I pasted in the above message contain a typo. Since I didn't want to subscribe to download the original pdf, I used OCR to convert the photo to text and it bungled up the address. The correct email addresses end with "@pjn.gov.ar" NOT with "pijn.gov.ar" (with an extra i before the j).

So basically it’s the way to go now. First email and then go or send someone to the office.

Hello Nikad- I much admire your knowledge on the goings on here in "the Arg" and the help you give to others. Just a quick question: I've been a permanent resident here for over 20 years, and was wondering if there's any advantage in becoming a citizen. Sending regards.

Well, my DH has been a PR since 2005 as well. We are going to make the move to the US at some point towards the end of 2025 once I have my GC set and school year is over. We read on and off about losing PR if you don't set foot in the country for 2 years or so. But also we still have property and it might make a difference if we want to sell, etc. We do not think it comes with a disadvantage and we might be back after retirement or visiting on and off so it might be convenient. It is free, he is entitled to it, I will do the same in the US eventually.

I see. So the only advantage is that being a citizen would insure your status in Arg should you leave for 2 years. By the way: DH? GC?
