    Applying for residence from outside of Argentina – I'm married to an Argentine citizen - Need advise please

    When I did my PR, they didn't initially ask me to provide proof of income. However, when they sent me an email to schedule the interview later in the process, they did ask for additional documents (some of which was already given to them but they asked for it again anyway) and one of them was...

    Sorry this happened. Now you're experiencing a glimpse of what I've been through countless times. It's no fun.

    Citizenship rejected!

    By the way, my new favorable sentencing came in last Fri and my oath ceremony is scheduled for next week. I didn't think it was going to be this fast. From what I have learned, you normally have to wait a couple months. But yayy! 😁 @earlyretirement

    Citizenship rejected!

    Finally, the new sentencing came in this morning. I'm now an Argentine citizen (well, almost. Gotta do the juramento first). Oh and guess what? They actually admitted that they made an error with the first sentencing where they rejected my application. Duh!

    Citizenship rejected!

    3 weeks passed and no update in the system so I emailed to ask and got a short reply saying that my case had already been dismissed according to what appeared on the website. I was like, 'Dude, don't you all communicate in the office"? So, this morning I went to the court again and found...

    Citizenship rejected!

    So, we went to the court this morning to ask why the judge rejected my tramite given the fact that the law says when you are married to a native Argentine, the required 2-year residency is exempt. The secretaria also seemed perplexed as to why but eventually he said that it was an error. If you...

    Newcomer A Large Percentage of Argentinians Want to Be Digital Nomads: A Growing Trend!

    @Vince Guess what? My partner's brother-in-law, whose car was robbed and stolen in May-June last year, was robbed again last night and they also took his car while moonlighting as a Didi driver. Seriously, I have no word....

    Citizenship rejected!

    I should have? I don't think so. I mean it's not a necessity. Why spend thousands of dollars for what is not exactly necessary? I went into this thinking that ok great if I get it. But if I don't. I'm OK with that.

    We'll try to appeal and let's see what happens.

    Citizenship rejected!

    So, I thought I was at the very end of the road for my citizenship here. Fiscalia favorably recommended my citizenship twice but then juzgado said no, reasoning that I have not met the 2-year residency required even though it clearly states that if you are married to a native Argentine or have...

    Thoughts on relocating to Mendoza from CABA

    Not anymore. A possible opportunity came up but then it fizzled out fast like tirar un pedo :ROFLMAO:. However, I am going to move a new barrio which is Villa Urquiza and I am excited about that.
