I am currently in the USA. When I left in December the Immigration guy was questioning my going and coming and I think he said I might have trouble getting back in the next time--- that was my take on it. My Spanish is not that good.

So I would like to do the DNI thing this year and wondered if there is something I can do while I am here to start the process.

I apologize ---I know there is a lot of material on the subject but not so easy to struggle through as you might think.

I can meet all the qualifications ---It is just a matter of paperwork organization--- Thanks
 
The list of "required" documents can found on the migraciones website. You can't apply for temporary residency without the FBI report but it should not have been issued more than 60 days (possibly less) prior to your return to Argentina. If you are close to an Argentine consulate you could submit all of the paperwork there but I believe it will cost $800 dollars more if you go that route.

There is a member if this group who has accompanied a number of us when we applied for and renewed our temporary resident visas. She acts as a "friendly interpreter" and has a success rate of 100% for those of us who have applied for the visa pensionado. I will send her contact information to you if you would like her help. The cost is between $100 and $200 USD.

If you have income from Social Security you will need a "benefits letter" which you can get online. The letter will need to be translated and legalized in Argentina if you apply for temporary residency here.
 
Steve thank you--- So if I just wait and meet with the friendly interpreter when I get there, I can accomplish all I need to do--I don't have to be in the US to get the FBI report?

I just hope they let me in for one last time and I can become legal before they shut the door.

The Argentine consulates don't put a lot of info online and they offer varying levels of efficiency, but if you are close to one, you should check with them about initiating the process there. Steve may be right about the US$800, but a listing on the website for the Los Angeles consulate indicates that it is US$100 or $200. I did it about 5 years ago through Washington. I don't remember what I paid, but I think it was about $100. The info on their website, however, was so out of date when I did it that they took all visa information down after I insisted that they had to let me get away with just a local police report because that is what the website said. Good luck.

Hopefully, this won't happen to you when you return, but it might be wise to fly into Uruguay as Dr. Rubliar has suggested.
It Happened To Me. Visa Entry Problem.
 
Thanks Jan. I am not sure if I am ready for this route yet, but I have saved your information.
