The lawyer absolutely should have known this and never mentioned any of it. He just told us to follow the email from the Embassy.

He asked about her immagration past and we explained everything to him. My fiancée even asked her ex husband if he might have filed some kind of document after her time here and he said no.

They didn't ask for her history going in and out of the US, they sent her a link to get her history going in and out of Argentina, and only from 2002-2005. Should I be concerned about this??

I know the information is out there but it's not easy to find or this forum wouldn't exist. The lawyer should have told me these things too. I could have sent her these documents months ago.

We she doesn't have original papers of my divorce. I have pdf files. THey didn't mention original papers in the list they gave her. I had to go the court house to get originals which the lawyer sent when we started the process. The lawyer will have to mail the I134 also if that's the case. I guess I better do it because it really seems like they're just trying to drag out the process.

So my fiancée went to the interview very prepared, we checked the list 3 times at least, and they wound up asking for more paperwork. They want copies of my divorces, which were sent 18 months ago when we started the process or I don't think they could have even sent the process to the embassy. I really think the woman just wants her to see my divorce paperwork, even though she told them that she's well aware of all of that. Also they wanted something different for her criminal background check, a report with some type of exception. They also want me to file the form proving my income again. I make several times the minimum, but besides that, it's not my fault the process took 18 months. Now I have to pay the lawer to redo this since I really don't want to risk more delays. The most disturbing is they want her immigration history from 2002-2005 when my fiancée was in the states illegally. They already know this, they asked her about it, and she said yes. But this is well outside of the 10 year ban so it's not even relevant. The worst part is that this immigration history is going to take up to THREE MONTHS to recieve from Argentina. Anyone have any suggestions??

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!

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.

I submitted an inquiry to the NVC and they say they've recieved my petition and it's awaiting data entry. It's been 2.5 months so far.

I'm still trying to understand some of the terminology. I got an I-797. It has the reciept number as the initial petition that the lawyer sent. I assume this is the NOA2?

We received NOA2 and confirmation of DS160 on May 22. Still nothing from the embassy en Buenos Aires. Glad I found this site. It's so difficult to fine clear information about the process.
