My husband and I will go to Buenos Aires next week to meet with our lawyer and for my husband's visa appointment. I have a work visa through my employer and got it in the United States before we moved to Argentina. We are in the process of getting a visa for my husband, he is now only on a tourist visa while they work on his residency visa.
There has already been some problems with our marriage certificate - I changed my name after marriage (like is common in the US) but the government in BA doesn't like that my maiden name is on our marriage certificate. Also they don't like that what they have (apostilled, translated into Spanish isn't our original marriage certificate - our original was issued by the deputy clerk and not the judge so it couldn't be apostilled hence we got the certified fancy copy.
Our lawyer told us we should plan to be in BA 4-5 days for the process. I'm bringing my original marriage certificate too, though it doesn't and cannot be apostilled. Has anyone done this process before and can give advice? I imagine we will be sitting in some offices for at least 1-2 days just waiting, based at least on my experience in the US.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
