I don't need to repeat what others have written. My Fiancee had the same nice treatment/experience as others who have been through the Rio interview. I was unable to join her due to work schedule. The one question they asked her, why did you overstay your visit in New York, and she answered "to be with me sweatheart" (me) And she said the interviewer laughed. No problems, lasted about ten minutes. She was rushing to get on the plane back to her home. So I did not get any more info. Good luck to everyone. And it is important to update your profile even after you get approved, so others can see what to expect. I see many people stop posting at interview day. Take a moment to help others by posting !!

Super easy interview!
I arrived at the consulate at 6h30 am, I was scheduled to 7h15. Around 7h00 am, a employee started to check the names of the people who were standing on the line and, and this person checked our details appointment and our visa photos. I was so ugly on mine, I did a poney tale so it was possible to see my ears! The girls said my visa photos were perfect, so beauty doesnt really matter!! Be sure to show your ears, or you will have to take another picture, as it happened to many people on the line that had their photos rejected. Ah, do not wear earring when you take the picture, it is not allowed!
After checking that, I entered at the consulate, and was directed to the second floor. There, the same girl who checked my photos, gave me a form where I was supposed to fill out with the information about my staying in Rio. I dont live in Rio de Janeiro, so they needed the information of the hotel I stayed abd things like that. With that form, she al... read complete review

My advice for you all is: stay calm! I know we get nervous and everything but this final lap is really smooth! We got at the US embassy around 5:30, first ones in line and most people started arriving at 6:00, at 7:15 a lady came outside and checked our names and pictures (make sure you show both ears and no piercings including big earrings). After a while the guard told us to go inside and we were told to go upstairs, there the same laid who checked the pictures outside handled us a paper to fill with your personal information and your fiance's information and a list with the order the documents should be placed and handled back to her (one hint: wait to sign the forms there because some you may sign in front of the consul), so after checking the paperwork order we waited like 15 min till they called us in a room where another lady checked all the forms and the info on it, then we were told to wait for the consul to call us and this is what took the longest...it doesn't matter if you ... read complete review

First of all I wanted to tell u about the hotel. I stayed at Aeroporto Othon Hotel, its 2 blocks away from the consulate. I recommend it very much, liked the hospitality, the services, the food and all. There are taxis everywhere around. The only bad part is the neighborhood which is not the best, but as long as u pay attention on where u going and hold ur stuff tight on u, everything will be ok.
I got at the consulate by 6:40am and there were some people waiting in the line already. The immigrant visas line up in the back of the consulate on Rua Santa Luzia and the tourists line up on the side at Rua Mexico. Make sure to be in the right line. Also make sure to NOT bring large bags, cell phone or electronic devices, cuz they are not allowed in. If somehow you forget, there are some people offering to lock your stuff somewhere, but I personally wouldn’t recommend. By 7am a lady came out and had the names of the immigrant visa applicants. She asked to see the photos and then che... read complete review

We stayed in Copacabana and headed out by 6am but we arrived easily within 20 minutes and were the first ones on the line. I attended the interview with my fiancee and my 7 year old daughter even though I was on crutches from an accident that happened only a week before. If you do happen to bring your cell phone then they have people who come around to the line and offer to hold it for a "fee" - better to leave that and any other electronics at home. There was no priority or handicap entry or anywhere to sit during the hour and a half we had to wait for the doors to open. The elevator was out-of-service so I had to crutch upstairs to the 2nd floor to await the interview. We had all of our papers in the correct order, but they give you an outline of the order again while you are waiting and a paper to fill out and sign so there is ample time to quadruple check (you should have already double and triple checked all of your paperwork before coming to the interview to make sure you have mo... read complete review
