Stuck at the supervision stage, any ideas?

[Johngwyn]

Hello everyone, I’m currently in Buenos Aires and going through the residency process. I was granted a Precaria(ever first) valid from December 12th to December 18th, covering the period of my interview on December 18th.

During the yesterday interview, everything went smoothly, it was like only 25mins and the agent confirmed that my renewed Precaria would be issued by the next morning (December 19th) if not in hours. However, as of now, my application status on the Migraciones website is still stuck at "TRÁMITE EN PROCESO DE SUPERVISIÓN," and I haven’t received the updated Precaria yet.

I’m a bit concerned since it takes more than what the office agent promised and my current Precaria has already expired. Also the Christmas is right around the corner could this be the reason of delay? Does anyone have experience with the "supervisión" stage? What could it mean in my case? Thanks.

Go with a pendrive and ask for a vista and read the legal opinions.

The supervision stage is just the "we're still processing the paperwork" bit. Go on their website, use the contact form and they'll usually respond within a day or so. When I needed to do this, they sent a PDF of my precaria after a couple of days. That said, you should be able to download it from the website if there's no intimación by now. If they told you that you needed to come back with something else, that can hold up the online issuance unless you write to them.

Here's where I'll disagree with Dr. Rubilar, there's need to go down to Migraines with a pendrive until it starts getting close to 90 days.

You'll stay stuck in "en proceso de supervisión" for a few weeks, if not longer depending on your nationality. Their established deadline is 90 days, though with the flood of Russians, it can go longer if you aren't proactive about your case. Keep calm, start a letter writing campaign after 30 days if you're Mercosur or 45 days if you're extra-Mercosur and you'll get through it. (Go on their website, use the contact form, send them a letter every 48 hours.)

I went through it last year alongside my wife. She ended up getting her PR 55 days after the interview and mine took 78 days.

Thanks, I might try that after Christmas on 26th if their door is open.

Thank you for reply! I find the delay a bit odd since they initially said it would be fast like in only a few hours. During interview it was smooth, no question being asked. Based on what you mentioned, I’ll try using the contact form on monday to follow up and see if that helps move things along.

Also, does "proceso en supervisión" mean my file isn’t actually on a supervisor’s desk yet? Or is it just a generic status that covers administrative delays? I’m trying to figure out if this is purely procedural or if there’s something else holding it up. Christmas is right around the corner, when I was there, I noticed a lot of Russian and Ukrainian, as well as many Indians, passports all over the world. I waited about two hours before my number was called. Perhaps all these factors adds equal to the delay. (For reference, I’m Canadian/American and entered on my Canadian passport, though I don’t think that matters much.)

Thanks again for sharing your experience, much appreciated, it’s really reassuring to know this happens to others too!
