First I want to start by saying, this is the easiest part of the entire process so far... I know you are going to worry, Adriana and I worried a lot! However, this part is very easy! As long as you have ALL of your documents, the chances of you not getting approved a very small. The short version of our interview is, we arrived, they checked out papers, double checked our papers, we waited and after about an hour and a half, we had the interview. The interviewer asked us about 5 questions and than said \"Okay I am going to approve you\". That\'s it!! We arrived at 7:00 and were finished at 9:30!!
Now here is the long version for those of us that like a lot of detail!! Let me start by talking about our hotel... We stayed at the Vina Del Mar, we saw the pictures on the website, but they were a bit misleading. Its in a pretty dangerous area in Rio but, Adriana and I are not exactly rich, so we had to make due. The hotel it self was not bad, the mattresses and pillows were m... read complete review

Approved. Actual interview lasted about 4 minutes, most of which were spend looking at the documents. The only question was "How did you guys met and how have you maintained the relationship?". Did not request to see evidence (IMs, copies of airline confirmation, photographs, etc) of how we have maintained the relationship. We had all these documents we us, though.
Great experience, except for the waiting. Spent 4 hours at the consulate. We were 10th in line for the K1 visa interview because we stayed in the wrong line. (Interviewees should ask the guards the line for 7:15 appointment. K1 interviews are referred to as 7:15, the time interviewees are directed to arrive at the consulate, by the guards.
Consulate personnel (from the lady who reviewed the passport photograph before entering to the consular officer) were simply great. They were very polite (referred to us as Senhor/Senhora throughout) and professional.

First off, 2 lines outside consulate, 1 for tourists and the other for K visas so ask security guard and he will direct you. Next dont worry about showing up at 6am, 6:45 is plenty of time. Be careful with your photos, they inspect before you enter and if they are not correct they send you down the street to get new ones. After you enter, you go upstairs and they go over all your paperwork twice before you have the real interview. We had our interview and were approved in less then 10 minutes, he asked basic questions and was friendly. We were at the consulate for around 3 hours.

Interview was really good, and she was really nice & helpful.
Alot of running around, DO NOT BRING YOUR CELL PHONE! I made the mistake of having that and my ipod, I had to go outside and they have a person who will hold on to them for $$. Ridiculous!
Also, I had to take a new phone, they didn't tell us that there was additional restrictions not on the website.
Anyways, after all of that business and running around paying fee's; the actual interview was quite pleasant.
