ryanrowedotcom comments on Offshore investment funds

offshore banking can you clarify - you want to place your money in Panama or some other Latin country? are you an American citizen? I don't know the name of any funds, but I know a little bit about this topic..

ryanrowedotcom comments on Colombiana traveling/living in Middle East

called the UAE embassy in Ottawa and Colombians need a visa to travel to the UAE... however, requirements aren't as stringent as they are for Canada or the US. She just needs to get a travel agent to set her up with a hotel reservation and the hotel will sponsor her and then they'll give her the visa...

as for getting a work visa, she would have to be offered a contract there, just like mine... and she would have to get her undergraduate degree certified by the nearest UAE embassy (either Washington DC or Brasilia)...

there's the lowdown... thanks for all the advice... i'll look into the KLM thing

ryanrowedotcom comments on Colombian girlfriend applied for Temp Res Visa

thanks for being straight up.. today the travel agency that submitted my girlfriend's documents called her and told her that the application had been refused for financial reasons... but strangely, she never signed an authorization or a proxy for the embassy to return their decision to a third party

we've now emailed and faxed the embassy to confirm if they ever received the application and if indeed the file was reviewed... but if they haven't and we do submit it again, your story doesn't give us much hope. when did all that take place?

as for my backup plan - looks like i'll be spending christmas and new year's in colombia!!

ryanrowedotcom comments on Colombian girlfriend applied for Temp Res Visa

Yes, it's the Canadian visa she applied on November 17th and we're hoping she'll get it in time to buy a ticket to Canada for Christmas... yeah I know we're cutting it close.

ryanrowedotcom comments on Can we still adopt from Columbia

District of Columbia if you're having trouble adopting in the States, then you definitely won't be able to adopt from the District of Columbia...

Try adopting from Colombia though...
best of luck

ryanrowedotcom comments on luggage limit on flights in Colombia?

thanks for the comments i found out that international flights within the confines of south america have baggage limits of 20kg. knowing this i called copa and asked what the baggage limits were on a flight from medellin to sao pauloa via panama.... badabing! i got bumped up to 32kg with a 10kg carryon...
i'm paying more but considering the overweight charges with the cheap flight on aerorepublica and aerolineas argentina i'm actually saving money in the end.
thanks to all for the advice.

ryanrowedotcom comments on Barranquilla Carnaval 2006

Stay in Cartagena and travel back and forth IMO, Barranquilla is not the best city for tourists, you'd probably enjoy Cartagena or Santa Marta more. You could always stay in one of those cities and travel back and forth to barranquilla and stay the night when needed.
I went to barranquilla carnaval, I didn't sleep anyways. it was nuts. you'll have a lot of fun bud.
