@steveinbsas If we fulfilled necessary 2 years with legally like 1 year digital nomad 1 year student visa but everything legal.
While the digital nomad visas would allow each you to be "legally" in Argentina for (a maximum of?) one year, they would not convey legal temporary residency with the DNI. I believe each of you (individually) would need to have a "work contract" with the source(s) of the foreign income, but I don't know the exact details.
If it's possible to get student visas for the second year, you will have met the two year physical presence requirement for citizenship, at least while the citizenship process is under the control of the federal courts. If that power is transferred to migraciones, I think it's highly likely that two full years of legal temporary residency with the DNI will be required before the citizenship application will be accepted.
After we apply citizenship do we get any status or do we have find or renew visas while trying to get citizenship ? Do you have any protective or temporary status ?
After two full years of legal temporary residency you will/should/might be able to request the cambio de categoria to permanent residency, provided you meet the requirements for temporary residency in effect at the time. If migraciones is not granting permanent residency on the third renewal, but has control of the citizenship process, my crystal ball indicated that you will still have to renew the temporary residency at the same time as you apply for citizenship.
And does lawyers cost 2000USD per person or family if you aren't like extreme case like applying the day you set foot on Argentina.
I have never seen the $2000USD figure in the context of attorneys' fees for citizenship. $2000 was the monthly USD equivalent for the visa rentista at the time the income requirement was increased to $8.000 and later to $30.000 pesos per month. The current monthly income requirement of five minimum salaries equals about $1,500USD, but that could be increased at any time. I'm guessing that the next time it is increased that it will jump by two monthly minimum salaries to return to the $2,000USD level.
If and when migraciones has control of the citizenship process, and, if two years of legal temporary residency is a prerequisite, I don't it will be possible for a lawyer to actually initiate/present a case at migraciones for a client who does not already meet that requirement. Of course the lawyers will not be able to charge for a service that they cannot provide.
If the courts retain control of the citizenship process and you want to apply for citizenship soon after setting foot on Argentine soil without getting/having temporary residency, you will undoubtedly need a lawyer. The only lawyer I have read about in this board that represents clients in these circumstances appears to charge more than $6000USD. I believe that is for each client, but I am not certain.
If migraciones gets control of the citizenship process, the only "protection" against deportation any foreigner is likely have in the future will be is having legal temporary or permanent residency, and, if citizenship is their goal, a continuous physical presence without leaving Argentina for the two years before applying for citizenship will be required.
