Our experience was much like the others who have posted on this website. Everyone with K1 visa interviews were given a 7:15am interview time, which just meant that that was when we would be allowed into the Consulate. We arrived at 5:45am and there was already a line!
The whole process was pretty simple and actually pretty fast. After submitting your paperwork, you wait for your interview. Each interview was taking about ten minutes, with about 20 minutes or more in between each one. I imagine during those twenty minutes, the officer was looking over the paperwork and getting familiar with each case. We went into the interview at 10:15am. She was very nice and asked if we wanted to speak English or Portuguese, we opted for Portuguese. She asked us how we met, had my fiance ever been to the US before and when we were planning on getting married. After we answered each question, she said our visa was approved!
We then had to go to the post office to pay for shipp... read complete review

So I guess it's finally my turn to write here 
My husband and I drove to Rio the night before to get familiar with the place before the actual interview. We stayed the hotel business atlantico centro ( the hotel was nice not that expensive has a pool on the roof and has a nice view) we left for the interview at 6:30 the consulate was only a couple of blocks away from the hotel (thank God because walking on that bumpy street in 6 inch heels in the rain was a pain in the butt lol) we finally got there and were allowed in around 7:10 (no electronics whatsoever! We went up to the 2nd floor and sat down and waited...and waited and waited (like we didn't wait enough for the actual interview -__-) we filled out a form then were called into a small room the lady asked a couple of questions then took my husbands fingerprints and we were told to sit back down. About an hour later we were called into room 3, let me tell you the guy was a complete ***hole! Rollin... read complete review

The forms the easiest part of everything for me..in the day of the interview I was so ready..had everything prepared...Was worried about the pre-interview because of the correction of the forms, but everything went very well. I was ready for the talk with the consul and get approved, because everybody told me it was "banana cake", well not for me..It was terrible the consul was rude and very "new at work" he didnt know the interview process, asked me all kinds of questions, saw all the 500 pg I had for the proof of ongoing relationship and in the end told me it wasn't enough and required the presence of my fiance in another interview.

My fiancé and I arrived at the consulate at 6am and went to the immigrant visa line, by 7:15am a guy came and gave us a form with a number, we went in ( no cell phones or any electronic devices allowed), went to the second flor and a guy gave us another form to write our contact info (where we live in Brazil and where we're staying in Rio), then he checked everyone's documents individually and we waited to the pre-interview, where they check our documents again and make a couple of questions if needed, just to see if we filled out everything correctly on the forms. We get fingerprinted and go downstairs to pay for our passport to be mailed (I paid R$65). Then we went back upstairs and waited about 20-30 minutes and were called to the actual interview with the consular officer. It was pretty easy. She was very friendly. She asked how we met, when we met, I answered YES to two of those last questions on DS 156 form and she asked me about it ( I- beneficiary- was arrested trying to get i... read complete review
