Okay people I need Input hopefully from some of you that have dealt with Consulate in Buenos Aires Argentina. We were stressed and nervous trying to get all of the paperwork submitted to them to schedule the interview and didn't realize that she submitted the originals without making copies of the originals that I sent her from the US as well as her police report etc.. Do you think if we contacted the Embassy they would let her come there and take the papers and make the necessary copies of the originals that they already possess and give them back to them so that she has all of the originals for the interview??? PLEASE SOMEONE RESPOND THAT HAS SOME THOUGHTS ON THIS IDEA ASAP as we are very worried right now about this. Thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon!!

It is very unlikely they will allow her to 'retrieve' the package - they may not even be able to 'retrieve' it themselves at this point - prior to the interview. The good news is that the originals are in the package - and that package is what the interviewer will have in front of them during the interview so they already have them for the interview. She can ask, at the interview itself, if they would make her copies of the originals or make copies for themselves and return originals that they don't need to her. They do need the original of certain documents anyway - such as the police report. The biggest problem with not having copies is that you have a hole in your own records. You may wish to obtain some additional originals or certified copies of the documents you sent her (eg birth certificate, divorce decrees, letter from employer, etc. ) and have them for your records.

So, you didn't make copies of them before you sent them to her either?
