US wire transfer question RE: US wire transfer question Hi all, My name is Alex, I have a relative in California from whom I need to receive a large sum of money ($ 19k). She wants to wire transfer the money into a US bank account which I don't have. I know that some "casas de cambio" here in BA will receive the xfer in their account, take a small comission (2%) and pay cash, but only if the amount is less than $ 3k USD otherwise I'd need to fill out government forms specifying where the money comes from, why am I receiving it, etc, and I can later have some issues with the taxing agency AFIP. I want to get this done ASAP and have no idea where to go, I can't find an agency that will do this under the table.. I don't care if they want to charge me another point or two in comission (3% or 4%). Please, if you know somebody or have done this before with an exchange agency let me know. It'd be greatly appreciated, as I need to take care of this matter within the next 2 weeks.

Llegan como turistas, pero se quedan a vivir en Buenos Aires Cada vez hay mas exranjeros residentes Ya no es una escena poco frecuente. Encontrar a un alemán comprando clavitos en una ferretería de Villa Crespo. O a un sueco pagando con tickets en un supermercado chino de Monserrat. O a un Philadelphia boy que atiende su celular a la voz de “¡ah! ¿qué hacés, che? Estoy un poco complicado ahora... ¿te puedo llamar en un rato?”, como Jonah Schwartz, de 25 años, el más porteño de los norteamericanos. Llegó al país para estudiar español, en un bar conoció a un grupo de música indie-country llamado Los Alamos y se sumó para tocar la mandolina. Ahora vive en Buenos Aires, de su música y de dar clases de inglés. Todos ellos son expatriados. Es decir, extranjeros que llegaron al país como turistas o visitantes y que, por distintos motivos, decidieron quedarse a vivir en Buenos Aires, al menos por un tiempo. Así se definen a sí mismos. Para ellos la palabra expatriado no tiene la connotación del exilio forzoso. Es un término más romántico que los hace sentir cercanos a Hemingway y que les da sentido de pertenencia y también un punto de encuentro. La Sociedad de Jóvenes Expatriados de Buenos Aires (YesBA, por sus siglas en inglés), por ejemplo, agrupa a muchos de los que emigraron a la ciudad. Entre sus socios figuran 4700 nombres. Todos los meses organizan una fiesta de expats , a la que asisten unas 200 personas.
