Why does my SSI direct deposit first go to Bank of New York then Ecuador

I am worried because I applied to get my SSI direct deposit sent to Ecuador and it didn’t work. So, I emailed DR like SSA told me to and now they changed it so the Bank of New York gets it first then it would go to Banco de Guayaquil checking account.

First, I am wondering if I will get it and how long will it take now that I waited 60 days already.

Hopefully someone could help me that has also gone thru this.

Thanks,

I need a new international cell phone provider!

Here’s what’s happening. My husband and I had JVOIP where we could make and receive international calls to the US and were able to keep our US number. Then JVOIP changed their interface to Vodia phone which was kind of ok…for a while… until I changed my local phone provider from Claro to CNT with a new SIM card. Lo and behold, all our Vodia phone calls are interfered with in some way by CNT and I can’t make or receive international calls properly.

My husband’s phone is still with Claro and Vodia phone works on his phone. I was literally on my husband’s phone with a Vodia phone tech support person all day on Monday and the only temporary workaround is using the Vodia phone app on my computer to make and receive calls.

Has anyone heard of something like this before and do you have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Condominium, houses, towers for cats

The cat by nature is a very curious and playful animal. Scratching is one of his “hobbies” that helps him file his nails and is a way of channeling his anxiety. If your cat scratches the sofa at home for any reason, you do not have to be angry. Perhaps you are not offering him another alternative or you do not know that he needs a toy to channel his energy. That is why you have to know the star toy, the scratching post for cats.

– The scraper helps keep your nails healthy and strong.
– It serves as a refuge for you when you seek tranquility.
– One of the most important benefits it provides to your cat is that it keeps him active and helps him avoid health problems. – Helps calm your instinct for curiosity.
– Strong, solid and stable, all in wood.

Spanish training FAQ (Part 1)

– I am already enrolled in X language school, does your training course work for me?

– Private or group lessons?
One on one.

– How long is the training course?
10 weeks, three times a week.

– Can I make progress by taking lessons twice a month?
Short answer- no.

– I am at the level of ‘Advanced’ with the study of the 4 tenses of subjunctive. Does it suit me?

I work on specific topics with some students on Saturdays. Gmail me with the subject Spanish language Nerds SLN.

– Will this be in person or on line?
In Cuenca: in person. Any place out of Cuenca: online.

– Where will these lessons be?
At the comfort of your place (in person) or at the comfort of your couch- online

– When this will happen (be fluent)?
It depends 98% on you, if you follow every step, you will notice your progress quickly.

Just one spot left, will you grab it or will you wait two more years in the never-ending procrastination?

Anyway, I must run since the outage is coming in 5, 4,3, 2…

Real estate investment! 12.50%

How this works?

You buy a fraction of a house at Radisson Blu Hotel and Residences.

The fraction of this house has a cost of $20,000. and generates a 12.50% annual return, that is, around $2,500 dollars, to the owner of the same (all this is stipulated in a notarized contract), also the house has one week of usage. In case you do not want to occupy, you can sell that week that corresponds to it and can generate an income for that week of up to $4,200 since the rent per person costs around $50 per day and the house has capacity for 12 people.

The difference between having an investment in a bank is that you own a part of the house that each year will generate a capital gain. That is, if at some point you want your capital back, the fraction that you bought for $20,000 will no longer be that amount. It will cost that much if not more depending on the percentage of capital gains that can accumulate over time.

The endorsement they give you and the return on the investment can be annual, semiannual, or quarterly of $2,500 (deposited directly into your savings account of any bank of Ecuador) and is guaranteed by the Radisson hotel chain.

City tour and visit to E. Vega Ceramic Studio

The year is coming to an end and what better way to celebrate than with a city tour on the Tren Turístico!

On this tour, CCC Spanish directors, Martha and Fausto, will take you off the beaten city tour path for a delightful ride through the historic and picturesque city of Cuenca. You will travel along the streets of neighborhoods that are sometimes left out of a typical city tour and experience the city on the whimsical Tren Turístico.

The tour will take you to the heights of Turi where you will get to visit one of Cuenca’s artistic icons, Eduardo Vega. You will have a guided tour of his ceramic studio and gallery as well as his personal family botanical garden. At the Turi Mirador, you will get to see Cuenca and the valley in all its splendor. It’s the perfect place for photos and overall reflection on the beauty of this magical city and the surrounding Andes mountains.
