I wanted to update on this as promised. A friend who has been here for several years on a tourist visa finally did her perm residency based on having a kid. She did NOT do the FBI report based on the fact that she has been living here for the past 4 years. She did have occasional trips to the US for short duration for a week or two at a time.
They accepted her app without it, although apparently they checked with a supervisor), and when I saw her today she told me today her residency was granted. (Just an FYI - incredibly quick - she applied in mid June, was approved by mid July and already got her DNI delivered!)
I don't know if they were exceptionally forgiving with her based on her applying as a parent of an Argentine but I thought it might be useful. I know when I did my residency - 2x, once for work visa originally and then again as a perm based on being a parent after my kids were born - it was a huge PITA to get my FBI report as 2x they couldn't read the fingerprints.
