Consulate Review: Argentina Review Topic: Event Description Review Date : January 26, 2011 Embassy 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. We entered a little room and sat down and swore the oath. Then the interviewer started asking us questions. Here are the questions they asked us: 1. To me USC: Do you live here? How long have you lived here? Do you live together? 2. To Beneficiary: How did you meet? 3. To USC: What were you doing in Argentina when you met? 4. To Beneficiary: What happened when you were denied a tourist visa? 5. How did you communicate when you were apart? 6. To USC: When did you come back to Argentina and why? 7. To Beneficiary: Does your family like USC? 8. To USC: Does your family like beneficiary? 9. What are your wedding plans? 10. To Beneficiary: Do you speak english? Can we talk a little in english? 11. To Beneficiary: What will you do once you are in the US? (in english) Those are all the questions he asked us. While he was asking us questions he was typing frantically and signing things and stamping things. Then after the last question he said "ok, Im going to approve you today" Here are your papers, when you go outside you will pay the DHL 50 pesos to deliver your passport when your visa is ready. He did not look at any of our evidence. I dont know if he had already looked at it during the 2 hours we were waiting or not, but in front of us he didnt look at one single thing. The interview must have lasted a total of 10 min. Then we left and we were so very happy and excited! Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
