Hello all,
I asked this question on a previous thread, but received no answers. So, here it is again! Thanks!
I have a quick question regarding residency after marriage. I recently got married to an Argentine here, and I'm now beginning all of the paper work in order to get my permanent residency. However, my tourist visa will expire long before my apostilled FBI background check and birth certificate arrive in the mail, and I really don't want to waste the time and money going to colonia just to renew it. So, my question is: Will having an expired tourist visa prevent me from gaining permanent residency even if I was married while the tourist visa was still valid? I can prove, of course, that my tourist visa was valid at the time of my marriage by presenting the marriage papers, but will that be enough?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
