Does anyone here have experience filing in Argentina as third-country filers (neither beneficiary nor petitioner are Argentines)? I'm asking on behalf of a friend. US citizen petitioner and Salvadoran beneficiary have recently relocated there and would like to file for an IR1 in Argentina. They would send the petition to the Chicago lockbox and then ideally get their case sent to Buenos Aires. Does anyone know what kinds of requirements BA has for interviewing there? For example, how much time on a resident visa, etc.?

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter

I agree good.gif

I only know of K1 filers on a USC-Bolivia-Argentina combo. For that process, the beneficiary had no obstacles that I am aware of and her K1 was granted. In this case the Bolivian citizen had been an Argentine resident for, at least, 20 years; so there was no mention of time when it came to her residency.
