My interview was scheduled for 9:20am. I took the metro to Cinelandia station and it was such a small walk to the consulate. I got at the immigrant visa line at 8:30am and I was the 4th in line.
At 9am the smiley and friendly Alex checked our names and took us inside.
He gave all the instructions to fill the form. I was the first one to finish and Alex set my papers.
Some minutes later I was called in a cabin to have my fingerprints taken and all the documents asked. The consular assistant asked for my husband and I said he couldn't be there due to work, and he said it's ok.
I went back to wait for my interview. 10min later a man called my name and I got there. First he made me say the jurament about telling only the truth.
He started speaking in Portuguese asking where I met my husband.
I asked if I could speak in English and he said it was ok.
The questions were:
-where did you meet?
-when?
-did you start dating si... read complete review

Basically ok; not much to complain about.
Strange is that all immigration interviews in Brazil are in Rio de Janeiro. Rio is a historical place with little actual economic importance. Sao Paulo is /the/ hub in Brazil (that is, in all of South America); the consulate there would be a much more logical place to hold the interviews.
Also strange are the shipping procedures for the passport. After the interview you have to go to a postal office to pay for shipping there, then bring the voucher back. This feels like a really outdated procedure. Collect the money in the consulate, and just ship it. This probably would be easier on all involved; it definitely would be easier on this end.
And really strange is how they treat marriage. We got married formally shortly before the visa procedures, but have lived in a common law marriage for quite a while. They told us that they are not interested in any evidence that we are actually married for a long... read complete review

Our interview was set at 07:40 in the morning, I chose a Hotel near to the Consulate. Months of waiting and review all documents each day until that! I was very nervous and anxious but my fiancé was with me, for sure, I felt more positive. We walked to the wrong side, too many people in the line. A gentle woman asked us for what kind of Visa we are applying, she said the right side, for my surprise It had one more couple and three girls. Ok, we are inside but went lost again, rsrsrrs, in the window the CO called a woman to show us where was the right place, she asked thousands of excuses for him and us. Ok, we went upstairs...just few people's and one guy in the table to see all our documents and put in order, we needed to write our addresses, we had a seat and wait. No more than 15 minutes a guy in the window ask for my name, he asked for some documents, I gave to him but not include the divorce paper in Portuguese, I had just in English. I became nervous and he said: Don't worry, ... read complete review
