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.
Things to pay attenti... read complete review

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.

So, Carolina and I were set to have the interview at 7:15AM. We got to the embassy at 5:45, and waited there outside until 7:00AM, and the lady came outside to check pictures and passport of everyone, and gave a password (number). Ours was 304. Around 7:10AM we walked inside the building, where they had a security point to pass through first.
We carried everything. Carolina had her folder full of documents, etc, etc.... I was carrying 2 cases of MSN chat history, one in each hand... We passed through security, took our things and continued up to the 2nd floor where there was an average sized waiting room with about 20 chairs.
We were first to the consulate in the morning, first ones in the door, first ones to have a seat... (we also sat in the front row). :P
We waited, then everyone received instruction on a form they handed the beneficiaries to fill out, with basic information about her and I (name, address, email, case # etc.) A... read complete review

It was done in less than 2 months, pretty fast.
I didnt even have an interview because the consul said that my story is pretty solid 
I guess if your marrige is for real, and u don't have anything to hide, it will be fine.
People there were very nice to me, just the cash girl was an ass.
They say that the fee for the interview is U$ 400, but it is U$ 404. I brought U$ 400 with and R$100. She said that I just could pay in U$ or R$, so she let me go out to a exchange house but it was 9 a.m and everything was closed. I came back and she was rude, then I went back to the interview room and asked if anybody there had U$ 4 haahha then somebody there had U$5 and everything worked after that.
So justmake sure that you have extra money or an international credit card and good luck
