Finally, the interview went really well, simply, quickly, and easily. I spent about 2 hours there because there was a queue of people. The interview was broken into two steps: first, exhibiting all of the original paperwork and turning in my passports (all of them), and then the actual interview with the consular officer - a young kind man who made it quite pleasant.
Here are a few highlights:
- They did want photographs, letters, or other documentation of our relationship, but they never looked at them.
- They did not want a lease or any documentation of where we intend to live.
- They revoked my tourist visa, held my passport, instructed me to wait one or two weeks, and that they would contact me through email when I could pick up the passport with the new visa.
- My husband was not permitted to enter the building.

We arrived to the appointment an hour earlier and signed in with the staff at the embassy. They were actually happy we were there early. Inside the embassy I sat in a waiting room and was the first person in line. I was asked for my passport and some of the documents listed in the emailed instructions (three days earlier I went to the embassy and left a packet with all of the required documents needed for my interview, I still brought another copy with all of the documents with me to the interview). She asked for my birth entry (I printed the digital copy), she made sure I had the form I-134 and the interview confirmation and asked my fiancés full name before getting my fingerprints. This was an initial step and she was only interested in making sure I had everything I needed for the interview.
I had to wait again for 10-15 minutes for the interview with the consul. When I was called, I went to a small room where a woman was waiting for me with a big folder with a lot of my documents, etc. She asked if I preferred speaking in English or Spanish and then we had a pretty casual conversation where she asked:
- Full name of fiancé
- Address, and if this was where we would live when I moved to the US
- How did we meet
- How many times did my fiancé visited Argentina
- How many times did I visit my fiance in the US
- If I’ve met my fiancé’s family and he met my family
- She asked about my career, if I wanted to work in the US and if I had previously worked in the US before
After this she said my visa was approved and that I would receive an email with the confirmation (the system was down for the day and they couldn’t give me a written confirmation). They kept my passport which I will get back with my visa in the next days.

Medical Exams - 09/13/2022:
Scheduled my appointment with Dr. Grillo via WhatsApp. She received me at 9 am at her office, checked my vaccines and suggested me to apply the ones that will be needed to do the AOS once I'm in the US, in my case was the flu one and the "doble bacteriana". She told me to go to a Vacunar instead of having the shots in la Trinidad as they were out of stock, which ended up being better as my medical insurance covered both 100% there. Headed to la Trinidad, paid for the blood exam $650 pesos, made the blood exam, went to the x-ray desk, paid for the x-ray exam $2000 pesos, made the x-ray. Went to Vacunar, got my two shots. Got back to the Doc's office, gave her my vaccine cards again and she did the physical exam. All good, she told me we will meet the next day at the embassy to get my envelope with the results.
Interview Day - 09/15/2022: Arrived to my appointment at the embassy 15 minutes before, waited next to the door without having to queue. There was a lot of people for getting other types of visas. I got inside the embassy, passed directly to the hall of the waiting room where a lady asked for my name. She had my name written down on a list, and checked it as I entered. Had to sat down, waited for one of the agents to call me by my name and they asked for all my documents:
- Original birth certificate and a copy
- Police certificate with the excepción al artÃculo 51
- Passport and copy of the bio page of the passport
- Affidavit of support form with my partner's IRS tax return to which I added a letter from his employer and a bank statement
- Relationship proofs (plane tickets, hotel bookings, pictures with friends and family, etc.)
- Envelope with the medical exams
She took all the docs and asked me to sit down again and wait to be called for the actual interview. They said my name, I passed to this small room where the consul was, she was very polite and friendly. The whole interview had the profile of a casual conversation that led to the following questions:
1. Where did me and my partner met
2. Where will we live
3. If I met his family, if he met my family
4. How does my family feel about me moving to the US
5. When was the last time I saw my partner
And after that she told me I was approved and that I could go to celebrate. Both the consul and the agent seemed very chill and actually interested in our relationship, which was very nice to feel after so much time waiting for this to be over. I would rate the whole experience with the US Embassy of Buenos Aires a 10/10.

Things went quickly, the interviewer was friendly but brief. We needed to retake passport photos and then make a second trip to the embassy to resubmit original documents. Why she didn't keep them at the interview we don't know. I was not allowed inside the embassy at anytime during the process.
