My experience at the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro was really good! Things worked out much better than I expected it to be. I'm impressed!
The consulate is well located in downtown Rio. I got there at 6:05 am and there were 3 people on the k1/cr1 line already. At around 7 am a young guy gave us a little form, and led us inside to the second floor of the building where there was a waiting room. He passed around another form to fill up. As I was the first one to finish up, I went to the guy's desk and he put my paperwork in order, and told me to wait until I was called to a booth. There, a nice brazilian lady checked all my forms and documents, and gave me a receipt for me to pay the visa fee. After a few minutes, I was called to room number 3 where the inverview took place. There, this very pretty and nice lady said good morning in portuguese and just asked me 4 very simple questions in portuguese and said that she was going to approve my visa and good luck in the USA!

We arrived in RJ on sunday and stayed in Ibis Santos Dumont .. it was good hotel and close to the Dr Joaquim and consulate ... On Tuesday we were finally ready to go to consulate with all the documents and got there around 5:30 AM .. waited till 7:05 so they open the door .. went through X ray .. had to fill up some papers and had a pre interview to check the documents,passports,finger prints.. After that we paid the Visa fee R$492,00 and then waited upstairs for the interview ... around 9:00 AM .. The consul called my name .. and we got inside the room .. and the was the easier part ... 3 questions ... Where did you meet him ? When do you intend to marry ? Did you live with him in the US for how long ? ... after that she said .. Im approving your visa .. congratulations .. and we said thank you a lot of times .. and went to pay the Sedex at the post office outside .. We had a good experience ... The consul was very very nice .. she was so polite and calm ..

Howdy all,
My fiancee and son left Sao Paulo and travel to Rio via coach (R$75 each) and stayed at Hotel Monte Castelo (R$120 p/night she and son). Taxi from Bus Station to Hotel - inside taxi - R$35. Hotel is clean and cheap, employees were very professional and you can leave your belongs there and pick them back once leaving Consulate at no fee. Taxi from Hotel to Consulate about R$15/20.
They arrived at 6AM - They were the first ones on the line - and there was a consulate employee telling where to stay; make sure to tell to the guy that you are there for a K1 visa interview or family related and not as a tourist. They got inside at 7:20AM. Three steps: One employee asked to see all paper work i.e. DS's forms, pics passport style, etc. Employee even can fix your paper work if something were wrong or missing. After that you will have to pay your fees at the consulated. Exchange rate was kind higher. Our was about US$ 1 / R$2.22. Other lady check all papers agai... read complete review

We stayed in a hotel that had a walking distance of the consulate, it took us 10 minutes of walk with two children (they walk slow), we left fully packed (papers, profs...) we also had nice suits, nothing too fancy but nice, I liked that because when I saw my husband wearing like that I thought to myself "Nobody is going to deny you anything, you look very handsome!" Lol
We didn't take phones nor electronic devices because they are not allowed inside the consulate. We woke up at 4, left the hotel at 5:30am and arrived there before 6am. There was already a couple with two children plus a girl in the line, we were third. A few people arrived after us. They called us inside a little bit after 7am. We went through a room with many seats, turned to the left and got a ladder to the seocnd floor. There was a room with seats, we were asked to sit down and fill out a form with our addresses (mine, my husband's in america and Rio's current address), after that two guys that were s... read complete review
