We were very nervous, but we got it! Jason came to Brazil to be with me in the moment of the interview. They don't ask for, but it is very important. If you can, please, ask your fiancé to attend the interview with you.
Well, if you are going to do the interview in Rio, let me tell you something: downtown here is not that great. The streets smell bad and we see a lot of drugged people on the streets. Yet, still safe to walk at the night. It has surprised me.
Jason put his phone alarm to 6:00 but he forgot to change the time, so we were supposed to wake up at 7! I woke up suddenly at 6:46. I could have wake up at 10, 12h. But no, I woke up at 6:46 so I thought that it was something saying I was going to get the visa.
We ate nothing, just got some coke and walked to the consulate, that is very near. But then we forgot the money to pay the fee. I had only 399 on my bank account and I read that the consulate does not accept cards. A lie, they accept international car... read complete review

Arrived early at the consulate was met by personnel who took our name. We filed into the consulate and went upstairs. Another person gave us papers to complete and to put our papers in order. Once finished, we handed our stack of papers to the same person to verify all documents were in order and complete. We were called to a window. Person reviewed the documents and asked us to wait. 30-45 minutes later we were called to the interview 'area', off to the right. American gentleman spoke directly to my wife in Portuguese then to me in English. He asked my wife if she wanted to continue in Portuguese. She said yes. He asked a few questions like where did we meet, what my kids names are and why she wants to go to the USA. After he said she was approved!!! We left there, went next door to pay for a Sedex package that will be sued to send the package and her passport to her home. We took the receipt back to the same place in the consulate. Done.
NOTE: you have to... read complete review

We just had our visa interview at the consulate in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday and it was a pretty painless process compared to what we had imagined. All of the staff working were pleasant and helpful throughout the entire morning.
Our interview was scheduled for 8:20am and we were let into the consulate around 8:40 to begin filling out the paperwork and go through the necessary processing. Around 10:30 we did the "interview part" with an American woman who was very friendly, talkative, and upbeat. Finally, by 11:15am we were walking out happy to hear that the visa was approved!
Although the process took the entire morning (which we had expected) it was a good experience and not at all as bad as you would think. Just make sure that you are completely prepared with all of the documentation otherwise they will send you home asking you to come back another day. Other than that, everyone was very nice and just wants to help as much as they can.  ... read complete review

My husband's review of the consulate in Rio:
------------------------------------------------------
Consulate
Overall, the interviews that morning went well, without trouble, although it's always a very tense situation. For some reason, I feel that the Brazilians that work in the consulate act kind of condescendingly and show little patience. Maybe it's out of frustration from going through that same routine every day. Even people's beloved Alex had a bad attitude that day. On the other hand, the people who work behind the glass walls (either collecting documents or interviewing people) were very gentle and playful, which helped with the tension.
1) Entrance and pre-screening
My interview was scheduled for 8:20am. I arrived at 7:50 and was 3rd in line. Differently from what I read on this list, I felt no need to be there much earlier than 8:20. In fact, the order of the interviews was defined by the order in which peopl... read complete review

They are very kind and the Consul just made few questions about how we meet each other and why the first meeting had been in Japan and not in Brazil. She asked about the family member's names and age of two of my husband's children.
