Hello everyone! My name is Pri and I just joined this wonderful community.
I've been having a hard time finding information on what needs to be done when you get married in Argentina. So this summer I am going to go and get married to my fiance. I'm not sure if I have to take the marriage certificate to the US embassy for it to be validated. Right now we are also short on funds and can't apply for the K-3 visa so is it possible to validate our marriage at the US embassy and when we have the funds months down the line, file for the K-3 visa while we are apart? I will on be in Argentina for a month so I'm trying to see what I need to do. I was also told that I could just bring my marriage certificate to my county clerk back home to validate it but it would seem weird since its a marriage to a foreigner. I've read stories on how easy it use to be for people but Im quite sure its much more difficult now. My fiance tried for a tourist visa and got denied for lack of ties to Argentina but he has a job, property, is going to school and his entire family here so I don't know how many more ties he would need. The plan was for him to get the tourist visa and come meet my father before we went ahead with getting married but that clearly isn't going to happen. It seems like marriage is the only option currently and i'd like to find out as much information as I can. He wouldn't be able to leave Argentina right away but knowing with how long it would take to get the K-3 visa, by the time that's done, he would be ready. Please and thank you for your time.
