Hi everyone!

My name is Candela, I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina and my husband Liam is from Minneapolis. We met in 2008 while he was studying abroad here, got married in 2010 and have been living together in Buenos Aires for the past four years. We just started the journey to get my green card so that we can move back to Minnesota next year. He showed me this website and suggested it would be a good support group through the whole process... it's a great site and I am looking forward to sharing experiences with you!

Wish you all the best with your journey!

Hello Candela and Liam

Nosotros tambien con mi novio estamos haciendo tramites un poco diferente porque es peticion de fiance o sea para que le den la visa y casarnos aca.Yo soy nacida aca en USA de padres argentinos de Caballito y me crie en Cordoba asi fue que conoci a mi novio. La historia es larga pero despues de 30 anos y ya sin que nadie nos prohiba nos vamos a casar jajajaja

El es de Cordoba y ahora estamos esperando el paquete de la embajada para mandar la ultima documentacion y que nos den la entrevista para si Dios quiere le den ya la visa.

Todo esta bien solo que como el vive lejos de la embajada estan saliendo preguntas que al menos hasta ahora no me han respondido de la embajada.

Una es que como el vive en el interior si puede llevar el sobre con los reultados del examen medico el dia que va a la entrevista asi no hay que viajar dos veces a Buenos Aires. O sea una para hacerse solamente el examen medico y la otra el dia de la entrevista.

Y la otra pregunta es si el certificado de la policia tambien tiene que ser legalizado en Buenos Aires como la partida de nacimiento.

Bueno Candela quizas no sepas la respuesta de estas cosas porque vivis en Buenos Aires y no se complica tanto .

Pero bueno cualquier cosa que necesites saber ojala te pueda ayudrar a vos .

Hola cordobesa, mucho gusto! Todavía no llegamos a la etapa que involucra a la embajada así que no te sé responder la primer pregunta. Lo único que te puedo aconsejar para la segunda, (que estoy casi segura es así, ambas certificaciones deben ser realizadas en Buenos Aires) es que las realicen mediante un gestor, así tu novio no tiene que viajar para hacer el trámite. Saludos!

(Note: We normally reserve foreign-language threads for the appropriate regional subforum -- in this case, the Mexico, Latin, & South American forum. It would be nice if the posts in Spanish above were accompanied by their English translations.)

Thank you for introducing yourself, Candela. Your English is excellent, and better than that of many "gringos"! Welcome to VJ, and all the best with your journey.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
