So I screwed up, and I am feeling pretty stupid. I have a turno at Migraciones Monday at noon for the residencia precaria. Got my police report with DHL from Norway, got my Argentine police report, I am within 90 days of last entry, etc. BUT I hadn't really given much thought to the Certificado de Domicilio. (Really stupid of me, I know!) So I leisurely strolled into my local police station this morning around 8.30 - and was told that it takes a few days. I told the lady my situation, she was really nice and suggested I come back at 13:00 to talk to the guy who goes around to people's houses, and that maybe he'd agree to squeeze me in this afternoon. I went back at 13:00 and he said no, that he was not going to that part of the barrio today, and there was no way, but that he can come Monday afternoon. I wish he would have been flexible but totally understand that this is my own fault of course.
What sucks is that on September 4th I reach my 90 days, and I have been in and out for 20 months now, so I don't really want to leave again before starting this process.
So here is what I did: There is no way to change the turno at Migraciones online, and when I tried to make a new appointment, it said that I had a turno vigente and therefore couldn't do it. I will go on Monday, and they will tell me I don't have everything, and I'll have to make a new appointment - and that appointment will probably be after my 90 days are up. So I tried again to make a new appointment, this time with my old passport number. Name, birthday, country etc. are the same. And the system let me - and the first possible day was September 3rd, which would work great... I confirmed the appointment.
Of course I am only asking for speculation, but do you think they will be OK with this? When I go on Monday and they tell me I have to come back, I will show them a printout of the new turno, and also show them my old passport to prove that it is me for real. I am hoping that they will either let me show up for the new turno even though it has a different passport number, or that they might be able to change them in the system.
I feel like an idiot for not being on top of this, especially since the certificado de domicilio is easiest document to get...
