I can't believe the waiting is over!!
My fiance and I got there 10 min before our appointment(2 p.m)We went to the window and a man cheked my appointment and gave us two tags to show the security men,and avoid the line(there was a huge line up for other visas outside). So I left my cellphone and passed the security checkpoint.
Then the receptionist cheked my appointment and told me to get my biometrics inside and go back to her.
After getting my figerprints went back to the reception and the girl gave us a green folder with instructions on how they want the papers arranged and a number. She said we would be called by this number to hand all the paperwork.
After 10 min our number was called and we went to window 17 to hand all the papers and additional photos to a very nice lady. She checked and took what she needed and told us to go back to the waiting room and wait to be called again to pay the visa fee (350 Dollars CASH)
So we payed and took a seat ... read complete review

Well to start we had some difficulties. Make sure if you havent filed your initial packet in the US. Make sure you use a super reliable email account and if you email the embassy put some other emails in the CC field. We got backed up because they dont mail the packet 3 in Argentina, they email it. Apparently the department of state's servers dont like my company's (major US corporation) servers and I didnt get the packet. It took a couple of months to end up finding this out, calls to congress persons, etc. Not quick.
Next when you do, load up your packet with tons of relationship proof. Unless your packet shows you glaringly do not meet requirements ex. financially what they really want to see is that its not a sham relationship. I sent like 15-20 pics on the US petition side and my fiancee another 20-30 in packet 3, this along with letters, cards, envelope postmarks, boarding passes, passport copies, etc. By the time we arrived with more pics, and a hardbound picture... read complete review

My experience was quite good!
Since my interview was scheduled for 2:00 PM, I arrived a little earlier with my daughter (K2). We sat on a bench at the "Intendente Seeber Plaza" right across the street until 1:45 PM.
At 1:45 PM I went to counter number 1 and presented the interview appointment email so they let us in to the security area.
There, we had to put our items in a small basket to be screened. After crossing the metal detector, I took the bag containing the folder with the documents, my wallet and our coats, and left a small bag in which I had placed what I knew I couldn´t take inside (cel phone, keys, deodorant, etc). Don´t go crazy worrying about whats permited or not. Just leave it and pick it up latter. Takes no time.
We enter the building into a reception. A young woman scorted us inside to a counter were they took my fingerprints.
(There was so many people that no seats were available and lots of them were sitting on the floor)

Our experience was actually quite pleasant given the situation behind what had happened with our K-1 Visa early in August but here's the run down...
Our interview was scheduled for 2PM but because we were unsure of what the traffic was going to be like we left at 12:30PM and ended up arriving at around 1PM. Security was no big deal though they had a major interest in an item I had (a special credit card wallet) but when they realized it was not electronic it was fine. Despite the fact we arrived rather early the receptionist allowed us in anyway.
We submitted the paperwork we brought with us and the nice gentleman we were dealing with had some slight issues with my fiance's birth certificate (it was made in the 1970s before the government change). We sat for about 2 hours because a few other applicants for immigration visas ran into some snags. One guy who was born outside of Capital Federal forgot to get the Ministry of Interior stamp on his birth certi... read complete review

My fiance and I had a good experience at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires. Everything was pretty easy and quicker than we expected. Here's the rundown of our experience:
We got to the embassy at 3 minutes before 2pm, which was our interview time. They called my fiance's name over the loudspeaker. They gave him two tickets that said "Interivew." We stood in a short line for security, which was similiar to airport security. You can't have liquids, gels, metal, electronics. If you have any of those things, you can leave your backpack with the security guys. I accidentally forgot that there was a tuning fork in my backpack... they weren't happy (and also had no idea what it was.)
Anyway, after, we took a number and went into the waiting room. My fiance was called immediately to a small room with a guy who wanted his finger prints. They had not told us that he needed fingerprints, so then he sent us back out into the waiting room to get them. They called my fianc... read complete review
