Argentine citizenship for foreigners?

[DontMindMe]

Congratulations to you and your client, Bajo_cero2!!! Can't wait for the updates. I always enjoy reading about your work, very interesting stuff.

Also, I imagine I speak for everyone when I say thank you for the generosity you display by answering people's legal questions on this forum. The information has been invaluable to many. I'm sure people have said this to you before, but just in case, I wanted to.

Hear, hear. Bajo_cero2 gets very little respect around here given the utility of his free advice.

I've met with Dr. Rubilar to discuss my own citizenship. He is a man of intelligence, courage, and conviction... and he's a very nice guy. The world needs more people like him, and Argentina will be a better country because of him.

3) I crossed the Rubicom (the point of no return) last week with a judge who is very racist and I started the legal procedure for a) forcing him to enact the reports b) to fine him in 15% of his salary 3) to remove him 4) to criminaly prosecute him.
As soon as his is a replacement and he is not a judge elected by the Congress, he can be easilier prosecuted.

Update:

The kamikaze judge changed his mind and granted the reports.

I have to admit he surprised me.

Here is the sequence:

Instead of granting the reports, the judge started to investigate the notary trying to scare him. Without the notary I cannot have power attorney and it is more difficult for me to defend my clients.

I met the notary and he was confused about the Judge summons. I explained him what was going on and his formal reply to the judge was: FKY very much.

I like this notary .

When I was at his office and I saw his library I understood: he had a whole wall of books about Constitutional Rights. I have to admit that I envy him about that, I had to read them at the public library.

I appealed and I lost because the Chamber didn t believe me that a civil judge was behaving as a criminal judge and that he was prosecuting the notary to avoid me to defend my client. It was too Bizarre.

I met the judge some weeks ago just to confirm if these ridicoulous procedure was responsibility of the Secretary or he was the HDP. I confirmed that he was the HDP.

I solicited the reports and he didn t reply it.

So, I decided to cross the Rubicom and I started the process to fine, dismiss, retire with a low pention and imprison him. Civil lawyers don t use this tool because they believe that they should be friends of the judge while, as a criminal lawyer I understand that the judge is the enemy:

His reply was, in legal languaje, "I don t care":

When I read the reply of the judge, I couldn t avoid to assert, in front of all the employed of the Court: "He is crazy" (esta loco).

Today I saw the file as every Thuesday and Friday and he changed his mind:

I was very stress about this case and this judge.

Well, have a nice weekend because I am going to have it.

Update:
The kamikaze judge gave up! he decided to retire!!!!

Today I ask for sentence in 3 cases. 2 of them with the "Kamikaze" judge.

My strategy with him was to ask for sentence in all the cases almost at the same time.

As soon as he rejects it, I was going to ask for pronto despacho.

3 working days later I was going to ask for sanctions at the chamber.

It was very clear for him that I was going to do this with the 5 cases I have at his Court.

For a Secretary who is replacing a Federal Judge and who is close to retire, this means that he was going to retire with a lower pention. (If the chamber dismiss him he was not going to retire as a Federal Judge).

He retired just after he granted the reports I mentioned in my last post (he granted the reports on March 27th and he retired on the 30th).

Today I found this on the door of his former Court:

As I mentioned when I started to post in this thead, SC precedents and the valid law are enforzable and this is what happend when you enforce them.

Update:
The pressure is working on, 2nd case granted:

The citizenship of an immigrant from China was granted at the Court of the former Kamikazi judge.

So, as soon as the solicitor show up at Court for certifying the simple xerox of her passport, she is going to schedule the oath.

I have not read this whole thread so I apologize if I mess up for that reason. Someone wrote permanent residence only requires being in the country one day out of the year. Must be a lot of false information floating around. I have personal experience in that one. I was in the country a LOT of days the third year of my residency but I spent too much time across the river (my son happened to be there). They denied permanent because I didn't live in Argentina the entire year so it took me an extra year to get permanent. Trust me, I was here that year. My lawyer said I could be out up to 30 days but don't let it be more than that. I complied! And the next year I got permanent with no problem. So one day in the year won't do it.

I am now working on citizenship. I am concerned they might change requirements and my attorney says it really could happen but for now they are coming thorugh just fine. So according to him, people are getting citizenship. My son's strong advice was that I have an immigration attorney. He thinks that practicing attorneys know people at Imigraciones, know the ropes and that it goes a lot smoother. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. For Laureltp, I am not Steve, but that information is incorrect as well. You have to actually apply and get permission from the US to give up U. S. citizenship. But anyway, dual citizenship is legal. No problem. I hear all the time that you can lose US citizenship but it just isn't so.

Arlean,

Obtaining citizenship does not involve Migraciones only the federal court so it's a whole different ball game. The procedure is very straightforward so unless you have some complicated situation I don't think an attorney is necessary. I would recommend bajocero but he doesn't represent clients who have are already permanent residents (at least that's my understanding). Anyway, I think he would agree that an attorney is not necessary in most cases where permanent residents are applying for citizenship.

 

[Bajo_cero2]

Having permanent residency, the citizenship is not an issue.

But this thread is about people who lacks legal residency at all and/or they have a deportation order against them, and even that they have the right to get AR citizenship.
