One thing I wanted to know about is the issue that you have to get married at the civil court closest to the place of residence. My fiance never changed his residence legally since he moved to Bs As from another city 9 years ago. I read on the civil court site that one has to be at their legal residence for 2 years to get married. This will be a big problem if it's so since he has to change it this week. We don't want to go all the way to another province to do this. Another question is the matter of me getting my permanent visa here so I can legally live, work, have a bank, cell phone etc. I have to apply for my records from the FBI. Has anybody done this from here? Basically any info on getting married or getting ones Argentine Visa who is from the states would be helpful. Thanks!
My husband is american, so we went through that. Your fiancee has a domicile in the city of bs as on his dni?, if so, then you have to go to the civil register that is assigned for it, if he has a domicile in another province, I suggest you change it for his domicile in the city (you can do this at the civil register before booking your marriage date, I think he has to go with some bills that arrive to his domicile under his name, ask that one first)
The 2 year thing... I don't think so, people move a lot, I got married twice and was never asked for any of that. What you might need is a public translator/interpreter if the judge that is going to get you married considers that your spanish is not fluent (to make sure you understand what you are doing) apart from that the civil register is easy. Ask me any questions.
If you are going to apply for permanent residency, make sure your visa is still valid - to avoid any hassle - if not, your marriage certificate is enough proof that you are here legally. You don't need any FBI records,it is the state police records from the last 5 years, if you lived in diff states, you will need info from themall, my husband's mother got his on his behalf and sent them here apostilled.
