She had a visa 15 years ago (lost info)

[Scott n Yenifer 0]

Yenifer entered the U.S. about 15 years ago at the age of 10 with her family (aunt + uncle) and stayed in California for about 2 years and does not remember what type of visa this was. Since then the uncle who applied for the visa for her has divorced and still resides somewhere in the U.S.?????? And the her old passport is nowhere to be found. Our question is...in packet 3 on form ds-156 asks if you have ever been issued a U.S. visa...when, where and what type...and she no longer has that info what do we do and how important is this to finalizing our K1.

Input and info is very much appreciated...Scott and Yenifer

It is important to tell the truth on the application. It sounds like the truth is "Yes at age ten but visa type is unknown." Then she should be prepared to give any details she remembers during the interview.

Do your best with the information you have. Enter the information as accurately as you can with the info you have. You may wish to attach a supplement sheet with an explanation on the lack of details. Its better to just lay all your cards on the table and say 'hey look we admit she was here in the past, but it was long ago, she didnt break any laws, and we've lost all the important papers'. If they have a question, they'll ask at the interview and it can be explained in person as well.
