Letter from Embassy received after 3 months

[Brad_C 2]

Just a quick update, we did the process through a lawyer and 3 months after receiving DOA2 we received an email from embassy through the lawyer saying that we could schedule the medical exam, pay the fee, and then schedule the interview.  In Buenos Aires, the earliast medical exam available was 2 weeks away and the earlies interview 3 weeks away, but we can't schedule the interview until they at least confirm the funds.

You should see this thread for what is coming next in case your lawyer is not as familiar:
 

Because you are saying that they need to "confirm the funds" before you can see available appointments, it sounds like the lawyer decided to use something like RapiPago, which is not immediate like a credit card.  Thus, it might take a few days because they won't open the appointments until they see that wire/transaction come through on their end.

His lawyer is probably using RapiPago (this is an option to pay with when you go you the Buenos Aires embassy website) or some money transferring service that issues the transfer/wire instead of an immediate form of payment like a credit card.  When you use RapiPago, the embassy won't open the appointments until they can confirm the funds on their end.

Sorry I was just giving an update.  Ya my fiancée paid with RapiPago I think.  It took 2 days for the embassy to confirm the funds.  She now has her interview the 29th of this month.  Faster than I expected!
