Overall, my experience was very good. Here are some details.
You don't have to be at the embassy too early because they will not let you enter until the time of the appointment. For example, my appointment was at 1:00pm and I was not allowed entry into the embassy until 1:00pm. Once I was inside, I waited approximately 15 minutes until I was asked to provide my paperwork and documents. Then, the worst part of the process began: waiting something like 2 hours before my interview. But since I had seen 5 interviews proceed before me during this time and all of them were successful, that made me feel more relaxed and confident. When I was called for the interview, I was required to provide fingerprints and take a sworn statement. Next, the interview officially began. The interviewer was very nice and made many friendly jokes.
Some questions he asked were:
- How and when did you and your fiance meet?
- How many times have you been together?*
- What does your fiance do for a living?
- Have you been in the U.S. before?
- When will the wedding occur?
* One of my concerns was that I visited the U.S. on a tourist visa before officially dating. When I explained this to the consular officer he checked his computer and reviewed information regarding the tourist visa interview. All of this information checked out okay and he didn't make any comments about this. So, if you have a similar situation, don't worry and never lie.
After these questions, he said that I received the K1 visa and explained the package I would receive at home, which included the official embassy envelope, which cannot be opened, and my passport with the K1 visa stamp.
Before leaving the embassy, I paid a fee to DHL to get this package.
After all this, I immediately called my fiance with the great news and asked if he was ready for me =)
If you have any specific questions regarding the interview in Buenos Aires, feel free to email me.
