Step 3: Schedule a Visa Interview
Appointments are necessary for immigrant visa interviews. Everyone applying for immigrant visa or K visa must appear in person: the principal applicant and eligible accompanying family members or derivatives. Petitioners are not required to appear at the time of the visa interview; however, they are welcome to do so if they wish.
Visa interviews are conducted on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with the exception of U.S. and Argentine holidays. We strive to process all applicants promptly and efficiently, but please plan for the process to take 2-3 hours. Please be advised that your case will be delayed further if you are missing documents. Please do not purchase a plane ticket or make travel arrangements to go to the U.S. without confirmation of issuance of your visa.
If you are unable to appear for the interview, please contact us at BuenosAires-IV@state.gov Rescheduling an appointment may result in a delay in processing your visa case. You should try to reschedule your appointment only if absolutely necessary
