Our experience was just like NonayAdro's. My big fear was that in february 2010 y was denied entry in Atlanta and my tourist visa was cancelled because they said i was using a tourist visa to pretty much live in their country (even though i never overstayed i spent most of 2009 in the us instead of in my country)and they suspected i was working as a babysitter (i was not) so i thought they were going to ask me about that and really give me a hard time. Nothing like it, he just said "so tell me a little bit you were turned around when u were trying to enter the us?" and i said "yes it was in february 2010" that was all he changed the subject!
The guy was really nice, he made us feel confortable the whole time.
The one thing that was a little weird is that in the instructions that i recieved with my interview date is sai "print and sign just ONE form ds 230" and when i got there the lady told me that i needed TWO of them, so i showed her the instructions that i was sent a... read complete review

We got to the embassy at about 1:40 and they let us in, we left our cell phones at security. Then we entered and they told us we would have to arrange all our papers in a green folder they gave us. They had a list of how they wanted the papers arranged and it was a little different from the instructions they had sent us with our appt date. We already had all our papers arranged in a folder so it was a little frustrating to take everything out and rearrange but no problem. We were called by our number right away and they took beneficiarys fingerprints. Then we sat down and we were called again right away to turn in our papers in the green folder. Then we were called again right away to pay the 350$ visa fee. All of this within about 10 min.
Then came the wait. We waited from about 2pm to about 4pm. When we were finally called we were the very last people in the embassy and the cleaning people were there cleaning and vaccumming so we didnt even hear them call us at first. ... read complete review

mailed in the paperwork on June 28th, 2010. Our NOA 1 was July 7th, 2010.....then the waiting! Our NOA2 came on October 29th, and we were told that it arrived at the NVC on November 4th. I called the NVC and they said the packet left that day for Buenos Aires. The NVC told me it was sent electronically, however the Buenos Aires embassy didn't say they received it until November 29th. My Fiance lived far from BA, so as soon as we heard that it had left the NVC he took the 24 hour bus ride down to BA to to go the doctor. I had emailed the Embassy explaining that he lived far away and we would appreciate if he could arrange an Interview while he was in BA.....no so luck! We still had not heard that the embassy had received anything from the NVC(being electronic, I was skeptical)I just kept emailing them.... So, he got his medical, and that same day they emailed us to let us know it had arrived at the Embassy, my fiance hand delivered packet 3. Then we waited for 3 days, and the embassy em... read complete review

We had interview at 2:00 on Tuesday afternoon. We had visited the embassy before and not had too much trouble with parking, but this time there were a lot of people at La Rural, right next to the embassy, so the car and pedestrian traffic in the whole area was just crazy!! We still arrived 15 minutes early, the guard had us check in with window #1 in the booth outside and we went right in. There's no need to wait in any lines where the tourist visa applicants are, although by this time of day there wasn't a huge crowd for that either (mostly in the morning). No problem at all with both fiances going through for interview. [NOTE: if you don't have an interview appt, USC will be able to enter embassy to ask questions/etc, but fiance will not be able to go in.]
After going through airport-type security (no electronics- leave your phone in the car!) we walked through an outdoor corridor to the consulate office. When you first enter, you check in at a desk and will receive a number (... read complete review

One more comment.
They do take their time in issuing visas. They didn't put ours into mail until 2 weeks after the interview. Allow plenty of time to allow for visa delivery.
