Hi Rick Rhodes,

You first have to apply for temporary residency (which you should be able to get with proof of your disability income unless migraciones "discriminates" against the disabled) and can only get permanent residency on the third renewal of your temporary residency...and you shouldn't need a lawyer unless you leave the country and try to reenter without getting residency or want to apply for citizenship (which WILL be difficult without a DNI and without the funds to pay a lawyer).

I don't think the ATMs have dispensed dollars since the peso was "pegged" at the rate of one to one...and unless the peso is "dollarized" the ATMs probably aren't going to resume dispensing dollars anytime soon.

PS: Do you also go by the name Michael S Smith?

You write just like him:

7 Years In Buenos Aires, C.f. Here Now 45 Years Please Re...

I understand that some local banks offer USD extractions at the main branch offices ATMs in downtown BA, and only if you have an account in that currency!

So I wasn't the only one to think that. Interesting how he moved to belgrano, changed his name and has been here only 8 years. I'm sticking with my earlier verdict.

This smells so bad, this guy is a scam artist.

I'm Mr Dusty Rhodes, who is this Michael Smith you mention?

Well, he's not the Musicman (aka Texas-dude) who asked if he could retire on two million dollars in BA and whether or not he should bring his Ferrari...but never asked any other expats for money so he could move...like Michael S Smith.

The Musicman was apparently a conman (like Harold Hill?) and stopped posting after his dual identity was revealed.

Unless Rick Rhodes can "prove" he is not Michael S Smith (who claimed to have a passport with that name) perhaps we can hope for a similar outcome.

We do get so strange ones around these parts that is for sure. Then again I have seen some pretty strange locals too.

I surely get some laughs out of these posts.
