VITEM IV - Student Visa for a Romanian

Can anyone help me out with this?

My girlfriend is a Romanian citizen and she is trying to apply for her student visa in Bucharest. She is going to take a preparation course for vestibular (cursinho) and already have the invitation letter, criminal record and all the other things. The embassy in Bucharest saw all these documents and gave a "go" on all of them, except the ticket back thing.

They require a return ticket for her to apply for the visa but:
1- She is not going back to Romania, since her intention is getting into university.
2- Even if she wanted to buy a ticket back to Romania, the end date of her visa is supposedly July 2016 and airline companies don't even sell tickets with such anticipation.

My questions are:
A: Can she apply for her visa with any exit ticket, such as a flight ticket to Buenos Aires or a bus ticket to Asunción?
B: Can this ticket be earlier than July 2016, like March or February?

Thank you!!
I really count on you experts!

The legal requirement is simply an "outbound" ticket to any country that she already has a visa to enter, or may enter without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program. Do a Google search to find out if Romanian citizens require a visa to enter Argentina or any of the neighboring South American countries. If she can enter any of them without a visa then you can purchase a bus ticket that would be dated for travel just before the expiry date of her visa stay. That should satisfy the Consulado and get her visa issued.
