We arrived at 1115 to get through security and try to get ahead. They turned us away until 1255. There were 4 others with appointments at 1300 for the one and only interviewer. We all turned in originals and then waited for our turn at a very non-personal booth just next to the other visa interview "check out" counters.
The gentlemen was nice but this was only his 2nd K-3 interview. He seamed overworked as I imagine most interviewers are. As I was present, most of the questions began to be answered by me, then directed to me. Our interveiw lasted about 50 minutes with some questions on our marriage needing to be approved by a supervisor, even though he had mentioned that everything was in order prior to asking. I had a mountain of evidence but they didn't really need to (want to) look at it.
We had travel plans for 25 DEC 07. The embassy uses DHL to deliver the visas. I had communicated to the embassy my request to exedite the visa and h... read complete review

Overall the Embassy was pretty good once you got past the Argentine employees. As one member said there were alot of vague instructions as you are asked to drop off packages at one of their security bunkers before the final interview (for example - they asked for 4 photos on every form letter, marriage cert, birth cert, etc. even though the information had been left with them on prior occasions).
Overall it was pretty smooth.
Consul was a great guy, very friendly and easy going with my wife's interview.

*Before the interview*
The BA embassy is extremely helpful; they answer emails very quickly, usually within 24 hours. Their email address is BuenosAires-IV@state.gov
They also have hours of service for people processing immigration visas on
Mondays at 2:30pm. (Source: http://argentina.usembassy.gov/hours_of_service2.html).
The BA embassy requests that you send copies of all the papers before scheduling an interview date. This is really good, because when you get to the interview, you know the papers are in order (they’ll contact you otherwise), and you just worry about talking.
For packet 3 you’ll need the standard papers:

• A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least ... read complete review

1. Instructions are not precise, some overlap/contradict, we just brought/did everything they wanted.
2. The day of your interview bring an email print out of the letter stating the date and time of your interview.
3. Overall, smooth sailing. Everyone was friendly, and once they emailed us upon recieving packet 3 (which must be mailed in ENTIRELY before the interview) they then responded to our emails with lightning speed.

Make sure you come early. He had his interview at 10am, but showed up 40 minutes early. There were 2 lines at the entrance, one for non-immigrant visas (long, slow moving line) and one for immigrant visas (no line). The security guard placed him in the non-immigrant line after reading his interview letter (or e-mail from embassy). He knew he was in the wrong line but didn't want to cause any problems so he waited a little bit and switched lines! He was asked to leave his cell phone at the entrance.
Once inside, he was given a number with a stub and was asked to wait until his number was called to pay the $100 fee at the cashier. After paying, he was asked to go to another window to turn in all his documents (except for photo album and copy of I-129F). He was then taken to another room where interviews were being held. Interviews are held right there, in different "bank" like windows, everyone can see and hear everything. Almost everyone was being approved, but none of them we... read complete review
