I don't recall the OP asking you to buy his fiance's food at any point of his post. I give the kid credit because at least he seems to have a plan for his future and he was receptitve to getting a second job for additional income unlike some of the people who stay on the public rolls for years and who know how to work the system.
With all the wasted tax payer money spent on things that aren't important I have no qualms with him getting a few bucks each month in food stamps. At least the OP is a USC getting the benefit, not someone in a completely different country.

"I don't know his situation so I can't judge what he is or isn't doing.
Didn't you in fact JUST judge him?

First of all - no job means you need to show 3x of 125% of the published poverty guidelines for whatever size your household is. So - if it's just you and your fiance you'd need to show 3 x $18,000 (or about $54,000) in the bank.
So - let's talk about the negative things here. You seem inclined to want to lie to (or at least mislead)USCIS. First you discuss your mom depositing money into an account for you - this won't work because the Embassy will ask you for a money trail to substantiate the deposits into your account - so $54,000 can't just magically appear there and make everything ok.
Next, you discus telling the government the funds came from a deceased grandfather? Can you produce a will or a copy of the estate to show you "inherited" over $50,000? Then, you'll be asked at the interview why if your grandfather died 5 years ago the money just suddenly appeared in an account now... Do you know that lying on ANY immigration based form is material misrepresentation which will automatically cause your petition or visa to be denied?
The best advice anyone can give you is to get a job (or 2 if you need) to show 125% of the poverty level in annual income.
You may not realize it now, but you will have plenty more to prove to the US Government even if you accomplished a K-1 visa. You'll need to prove income AGAIN when it's time for your wife to adjust her status and if you can't - guess what? She doesn't get to stay here. Don't try to take short cuts here. Your decisions will affect not just your life, but your fiance's and others.

Off topic - just a bit:
I think if the OP actually knew anything about Latinas in general perhaps he would not have the problems he's had...
First of all, most Latinas are posessive of their men (in varying degrees). You need to understand their upbringing and family attitudes. They were raised to be loyal to their men with very strong family values. BUT - most Latinas (and I know more than a few) have been cheated on or abused by their Latin boyfriends / husbands, etc... I am not putting down the Latino male species, just that without exception my fiance and ALL of her friends and acquaintces have has these experiences with their Latin mates. So - this in general makes Latinas more suspicious of their men and more possessive. They simply don't want any more pain or disappointments.
So - when the OP met his beautiful wife at first I'll bet that he found her attention as a positive attribute. It's a wonderful thing when a beautiful woman makes you the center of her world. Then when she arrived here the same attuitudes she displayed when they dated in Argentina continued and all of a sudden they became unacceptable?
Getting to know a person AND their culture is the most important thing when it comes to mariage. When men see their foreign fiance in their environment the romance overwhelmes the senses and most guys don't see that the relationship they have in "Argentina" is not the same as what they have here on Main Street USA. That is why repeated trips and truly getting to know the person is crucial to a sucessful marriage.
Back to topic:
Deserting your wife back in her home country is the worst thing you cna do to her AND your child. Just so you know, to even remove your child from Argentina will be impossible without the WRITTEN consent of the mother - the police will stop you from boarding the plane. No judge will award you full custody and prevent the mother from having access to her child. Bribing a jusge will get you put UNDER the prison for a very long time, it's not the same as "paying the policeman" for a speeding ticket.
Do the correct thing. You made the child, whether by "accident" or by the grace of God and you'd better be prepared for the reaction to your actions. YOU could wind up not being able to see your own child and still having to pay support to your spouse, even if you desert her in Argentina.

Thanks J&S...
Took a few days off to spend some quality time with Fresy when she arrived here! It's amazing how different life is now -vs- 1 month ago when we had just gotten word of our NOA-2.
Having Fresy here with me makes all the BS we go through worthwhile! Can't put a price on that feeling.

That's the absolute best thing you can do. Expediting your case means complete all your documents correctly, completely and accurtely. Include everything required the first time you submit so you won't be delayed by a needless RFE.
Use the time you're waiting for the NOA-2 wisely. Start collecting the documents you'll need to have for the interview.
Keep reading and studying! Ask questions when you need to and "pay it forward" down the road to the newer members.

Hi all.
Just wanted to update all my fellow July filers...
Fresy's interview went fine. All our documents were in order, neatly organized into 4 folders.
1) Proof of ongoing relationship - emails, ecards, phone records
2) DS-forms for the Consulate
3) I-134 and financial documents
4) Fresy's birth certificate, single certificate, police records
Interview was quick. Pre-screener asked for docs, Fresy had them in the order they were asked for and Conulate's questions were like those asked before (how did you meet, what does your fiance do for a living, etc)...
Visa in hand, Fresy flies here Saturday morning (arrives Ft. Lauderdale at 5:50am)... I'll meet her right outside of Customs and we fly home to Ohio a couple of hours later.

Dominican Rebublic Embassy is a very tough Embassy. There are many denials for "lack of bonafied relationship". At this Embassy it is very important that you provide detailed proof of ongoing relationship at the time of the interview (copies of your passport that showed you traveled to see your fiance, boarding passes - tickets are no good, need the boarding passes, hotel receipts, atm receipts, as many photos of the two of you together as possible, copies of emails, snail mails, phone records, ect...)
Some Embassies are "easy", some are more difficult than others. Yours is of the more difficult to interview at, but preparing your proof of relationship is crucial there. I HIGHLY recommend you search the forums for posts pertaining to the DR Embassy.
As far as you being together for only 10 months... There is no minimum time you need to be in a relationship. The requirement is that you have met in person within the 2 years prior to your filing of the I-129F petition.
Good luck.

Look dude...
If you're a 3 and she's a 10 odds are not in your favor of things working out.
If your 60 and she's 20, well you do the math. How many times does 60 go into 20? Not many.
The problem with some guys is that they go to a foreign country and hunt for the hottest "A++++++" woman, instead of finding and building a real relationship with an "A++" woman. You spend a week or two with the hottie and you're convinced "she's the one"...
Seriously man, get a grip. Don't you think if she is truly the most beautiful woman in the world she might know a thing or two about men?
I'll bet when you were with her in Columbia, the Pesos flowed freely out of your pockets. Daily trips to the mall to buy your "true love" gifts to show your undying affection. Hmmm, did you ever wonder why she picked YOU out of all the other men in the world?
You don't put up with "her lack of love" because she's hot. You meet a truly good woman who really loves you and guess what? A 7 1/2 becomes a 10...
You chose a woman to marry strictly because she is hot. What about her intergity, ethics, values, morals and scruples? Even the most beautiful woman will lose her looks over time and all you have left is her heart and soul.
You were destined to fail right from the very beginning because your relationship was based on B.S. There was no mutual respect, no honest communication and no real compatibility. What did you really think would happen?
Sigh...
3 petitions and STILL you haven't learned anything about women (American or otherwise).

And MAYBE stop with I-129 petitions. This was your third. The other two didn't end so well either...
