We arrived at 715am and there was already 4 people in the "K-visa" line. We had all our papers in order thanks to VJ, and were able to to turn our documents in second...We had to wait for about and hour for the interview, which lasted 15 minutes. Our interviewer was Clara, and she was very friendly...laughing with us as we froze (they have good a/c at the consulate!). She asked us both a few questions, basics like where did we meet, what I did for a living, etc, etc. She made sure our visa went through quickly, as we had planned a flight for the following Sunday (ok, I was a little anxious, better to give more time if you don´t want to chance it). We received the packet by Friday.
Do your homework, look at the reviews, read the consulate info page and be prepared...it will help alieve any anxiety. Thank you Visa Journey!!!

We arrived the day before our interview on the 4th of Dec. We made sure that we had the correct fee from Citibank and check our list from Visa Journey twice. We went the day of the interview at 7am, and asked the guards which line we needed to be in, they were very helpful. When the admitted the K1's at around 8am we went upstairs and were the 4th people to have our visa papers checked for order and the first not to have to correct this. The order stated on the embassy page here is perfect. They took our papers and we waited for about another hour while all of the papers were imputed. We were the second interview called, it was very easy. Sandra and I were able to go together and the interviewer only asked us a few questions. How did we meet, how many brothers Sandra has and what hobbies I have. I think she was happy as well that I have learned Portuguese. 5 minutes later we were approved. The interview was on a Tuesday and we had the visa by that Friday. All I can say is t... read complete review

We arrived in Rio the day before our interview so we could pay the Citibank fee and figure out our way around. We stayed at the Windsor Austrias hotel, which is adjacent to the hotel ok and ambassador hotels. The nearest Citibank is on the next parallel street to the hotel(about one block away). We paid our fees, one for me and one for my son and this payment had to be in cash. The day of the interview we woke up at 5:45 and went to breakfast at 6:30. We left the hotel at 7:00 and arrived at the consulate at 7:10. The entrance for visas is on the side of the building and not on the Presidente Wilson entrance. There were two lines, one for non-immigrants and one for immigrants. I recommend asking the security guards which line to get in. At around 7:30 a nice guy came out and checked our names off on a list and wrote down the order in which we were in line. At 7:45 they started to let immigrant visa applicants in and through security. We then went to the second floor to a room and were ... read complete review

To begin with, like most of us, I was freaking out for no reason! 
I went to Rio on Monday afternoon... after 13 hours of bus drive - plane was WAY too expensive this time - I got to Rio. My dad went with me. I'm from Paraná, btw! Anyway, we got there and took a cab to the hotel - cabs in Rio are much cheaper than in São Paulo, just so you know! We paid 24,00 reais for this ride and went to Hotel OK (www.hotelok.com.br) I tried first to get a reservation at Hotel Ambassador, which is right across the street, and was half the price (80,00 reais) of the other one. They told me they couldn't make a reservation for me, I think they were either full or under remodeling, don't know. But I actually didn't regret changing to Hotel OK after all... the room is pretty fair and have a nice view of Urca's Mountain.
Anyway, we got there one day early, since the bus get to Rio around 9 am, and the interview is earlier in the morning. We went for a walk and... read complete review

It couldn't have been easier. The embassy staff was very nice to us. The interview was very relaxed, the consul was very friendly and was even making jokes with us! The visa was issued on the following day. Since I'm not from Rio I got my passport in 2 days through a private courier service, like Fedex, who has a representative in the Consulate.
