In two words, be there, even if you are on your deathbed or you're dead. Your absence can result in your being ordered to appear for a second "joint" interview, or in an outright refusal to issue the visa. The consulates and embassies are bulletproof -- the consuls can ask any question (intrusive, illegal, etc.) with impunity.

Perhaps fortunately, Rio is a higher-volume embassy, which generally means that the better consular personnel will be assigned there. Nevertheless, do not make blase assumptions like the poster above, and do not ever underestimate or monkey with any Latin American consulate!
