And how about the Rio de Janeiro Consulate?

Thanks for any reply

Typical interviews don't last very long at all - the waiting in line (etc) usually takes the longest.

** Topic is Interview/Embassy-related and may be more appropriate in the US Embassy/Consulate Discussion forum (rather than K-1 Procedures). Moving thread there.

I'm sure the interview is not that long. But usually how long you stay on the embassy? The entire morning? Morning and afternoon? I got a flight in the middle of the afternoon, so that's why I would like to know because I am worried I can not make on time now.

In our case - Karin was there (in the morning) for about 3 hours total. For folks reading this - you can see/read other member's experiences at your specific Embassy/Consulate in the Embassy/Consulate Review section.

Definitely read the interview reviews for YOUR consulate!

I could tell you that last week in Montreal, I started waiting to be let into the consulate at 7:15am and was out on the street, approved by 9:45am but every consulate is different and every case at the consulates vary!

I hope you don't mean you have a flight booked to the USA on the same day as your visa interview. That would be insane. You don't know if the visa will be approved. Even if it is, they usually don't put the visa in your passport the same day.

If you're talking about a flight from the city where the US consulate is located back to where you live then you'll probably want to reschedule for the next day. At just about any consulate it's possible you could end up being there pretty much all day.
