    They should have more in-person time together. 10 days is not enough time to know if you should marry someone in general, plus there are a bunch of other red flags. I don't mean to sound offensive at all whatsoever, but even *I* questions this--and I am not an officer, so try to think of how an officer would look at this realistically. More in-person time, especially from that region, is highly recommended.

    Another option to see each other--If you want to meet in another country that is closer and easier for the US beneficiary to travel to over a holiday weekend (like Thanksgiving), you could always meet elsewhere. Ezeiza has direct flights to Mexico & Colombia and Argentinians don't need visas for those countries.

    You'll likely have at least a year until you receive an interview anyway, so hopefully your partner can visit again soon. Even if it is a short visit-I've done quick trips to Argentina before over long weekends. But technically you only need to meet once to satisfy the requirement.

    None of those things you mentioned are required. If you have them, then that's great! You can add them to your application. Also, you are looking at a one year minimum wait (but probably more) until you have an interview, so you can add visits (which you should, just in terms of the marriage itself--not immigration) or any other items during that time if you wanted to. If either of you have plane tickets, passport stamps, hotel receipts, etc. to prove you were physically together, that supersedes any photos. But even if you have just one photo together, that would be helpful. Remember-if you apply, there is a chance you will be approved. If you don't apply, your answer will be 100% no.

    We went through the Argentinian consulate. Argentina is not a high fraud country. For the K1, you need to prove you met once in the last two years to meet the qualifications, which it seems you have. Our interview was pretty quick and we had no issues getting approved.

    He received a card in the mail.

    Yes, my now-husband even came to visit me in the US after having his interview but before using his K1. No one even asked him about the K1.

    My now-husband visited me twice between when he applied and when he received his K1 visa. No one asked him anything about the k1 either time.

    We traveled for leisure several times with AP. Never had an issue.

    I am self employed and I was self employed at the time of the interview. Instead of W2s, he needs to bring 1099s. That is what self employed people have. As a self employed person, you also have the ability to issue yourself a W2 (I do this now), so if he has those, he can bring them. if not, he absolutely needs the 1099s.

    I can understand why they are being overly cautious, but the reality is that as long as you have a normal case, the risk of anything happening is extremely low. We used AP several times as well, including trips over a month outside the country.

    My husband and I traveled around Europe with his K1 in his passport before he entered the US. Zero issues.

    Why would they make you open at envelope at airport security? They are looking for things like explosives, liquids, etc. They can see in the machines that it is paper. I travel for work all the time and constantly have folders, envelopes, etc. You have absolutely no need to worry.

    When we flew to the US with my husband's visa, we could not check in online. We had to talk to someone there. Maybe it's better just to check in at the airport since they will know what to do and you can be certain.

    I don't think so. B2 vs. K1 comparisons are not fair at all. A majority of K1 visas get approved. You just need to meet the requirements. With a B2, you need to improve you don't have immigrant intent which is WAY harder than proving a real relationship (if you have the documents). It is much easier to prove a positive than prove a negative. For what it's worth, my now-husband applied for a B2 visa with a Spanish speaking officer and was approved. He applied for a K1 and had a white American guy who spoke English and sort of spoke Spanish and he was approved. It made no difference.
