We did. We got married in October, went to Brazil for a few weeks, then came back and kicked off the trámites afterward.

This was the full timeline for my wife and I, for what little it might help: 14/12/23 - Initial filing online 21/12/23 - Paid/received preferential turno 27/12/23 - Received precarias, intimaciones for Argentine criminal records. (Recommend getting your criminal records _before_ going, if you...

Got back in with no issues, and I have officially swapped my US passport card for my DNI, in my wallet. Of note, they’ve changed the signs in Aeroparque at least to say “Argentinos y Residentes” instead of “Argentinos” now, so we went through the resident line and were past immigration and...

Updates for y'all: We had no issues leaving with the PR resueltos, don't expect any issues on the return, and we both have freshly minted DNIs waiting on us when we get back home.

If, by Americans, you mean the continent, then absolutely. A considerable number of my Argentinian and Brazilian (as well as one of my best friends who is from Paraguay) friends are all very in touch with politics and relish the chance to discuss them, with views ranging from thinking Lula is...

I mean dollar dropping to 500. Bring back the jaguar!!!

Admittedly, I was able to use the special carveout for Brazilians having an automatic right to PR, but that's because even though I'm from the US, my wife is Brazilian. That said, the door does open both ways, and Argentines have the right to go to the rest of Mercosur and reside, as well. I...

Update: we’re both still without a DNI, though mine is in production and my wife’s is still stuck in verification. She’s had her residency a month longer than I have. Argentina.

Even with my one case of piripipi, the cabs have been averaging cheaper than Uber or Cabify lately. The piripipi basically raised cab fare from taxi to UberX levels, so I'll stick with grabbing a cab unless I _know_ for sure when I'm leaving, or it's late at night.

As I said, after two years, I figured it was about time I drew one... Especially when I'm in taxis a minimum of three round trips per week, and oftentimes more.

My wife was with me and I didn’t want to raise too much of a fuss. I figure with me taking cabs 3x/week for nearly 2 years, only getting one fast one ain’t bad.

After almost two years of taxis in BA, I finally drew a fast meter last night. 4k pesos from Scalabrini Ortiz y Jufre to the big Coto on French. Normal is between 2500 and 3k, on the same route.

They have a contact form on their website. It's pretty self-explanatory, really.

You get the 6 month precária after the in person turno
