From your country
Your USCIS forms, from Argentina
Argentine documents, USCIS boxes. Your surname, your province and your DNI, written without guessing.
Available now in New Jersey.
Your name on the form
In Argentina one surname is the norm, even when your partida shows two. Your passport is what governs.
If one document shows two surnames and another shows one, the form has a section for other names used.
Italian and German surnames are written as your document has them. Their unusual letters are not removed.
Write your name the same way on every form. A surname that changes from page to page raises questions.
The “State or Province” box
USCIS asks for a “state or province”. In your country that level is called a province.
In Argentina, “State or Province” means your province: Córdoba, Santa Fe, Mendoza, Tucumán.
The Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires is not a province. If you live there, that name goes in the box.
CABA and Buenos Aires province are different places. La Matanza is in the province, not in the city.
USCIS mails you at the address you write down. Check it before you sign.
The ñ, the accents and your passport
Your passport reads “IBÁÑEZ” at the top and “IBANEZ” in the machine lines below. Copy the top one.
We print on your form exactly what you type. Accents do not disappear on their own.
Your national ID is not your A-Number
The Argentine DNI and the CUIL are Argentine. Neither is your A-Number nor a USCIS number.
The A-Number comes from USCIS, not from your country. It appears on the papers USCIS has sent you.
Where do I find my A-Number →If you are outside the United States
We prepare your form, you print it, sign it by hand and mail it. Being abroad does not change that.
We publish no consulate address, phone number, hours or appointment rule. The State Department handles those.
If your question needs a lawyer
We do not give legal advice and we do not decide your case. We tell you where to look for a licensed attorney or an accredited representative.
Start whenever you want
You fill in the interview in Spanish for free. You pay only when your form is ready, and USCIS fees are paid separately.
