This is a long overdue review. The interview took less than 3 minutes. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I am currently in the US filing for AOS.
A couple of hints for the medicals: if you are a female, get a pap smear (it has to be dated up until a year before the medical appointment. That'll save you from any possible hassle. Second one: make sure the doctor checks the COMPLETE box in the medical form. Although I had ALL my vaccines, the doctor checked INCOMPLETE and I had to spend a few more dollars here just to get it done again - with the very same information in it and just the correct box checked this time. I wasn't too happy with the Brazilian doctor, he took a considerable amount of money and failed to to what he was supposed to.
This is it from me. Good luck to you all and don't worry, if you have the right paperwork, it'' be a breeze.

My wife arrived to the consulate at the appropriate time. She said the whole process was very easy. The people working there were very friendly. Her interview went very well and her visa was approved.

We got there really early about 6am. Didn't plan it like that, we overestimated how long it would take us to get there. Even so, people for tourist visa were already there. The tourists line up on the side (Rua Mexico) and the immigrant visas line up in the back of the consulate on Rua Santa Luzia. A guy will come around and ask if you have a cell phone, for a fee they will lock it up for you. They are strict with the electronics rule and no large bags!!! Shortly after 7am a lady came out and had the names of the immigrant visa applicants. She asked to see the photos and then checked your name off and gives you a slip of paper that you fill out later. Do not be alarmed with the tremendous amount of people as they are mostly for tourist visa and handled separately. Soon after they let some people in, they let the immigrant applicants in and you go through a metal detector and your personal items are x-rayed. Then head up to the 2nd floor. Once everyone is in, the lady starts explaining ... read complete review

The interview from start to finish just took around 3 hours. (7:15am -10:30ish am)
I arrived about 1 hour before scheduled time of 7:15am. Tourists line up on Rua Mexico while K-1s line up on Rua Santa Luisa (basically, K-1s line up at the back of the Consulate). Around 7:00, 2 guards turned into 50. A lady in a green vest came out and checked photos and gave us our number in which we would be called into the interview. We were let it, went through the metal detector and lead upstairs to a waiting room. Once there the lady spoke in Portuguese and explained what to do and how to organized your papers, which you can have done already by visiting the consulate website. After that she calls you to the back of the room to a desk where she checks your papers. Then you go to either room 1 or 2 when told and another person checks papers. We had an older lady, who was serious but kind. Once she put everything in order, she had my fiancee sign 1 or 2 papers and then we were finis... read complete review
