Our interview result was APPROVED, however the experience was not so enjoyable. Our advice is to bring only the documents asked for in the instructions provided on the consulate website. Bringing additional documents just makes it confusing. In our case, my fiancee applicant had to go back by herself and submit the documents and it made it difficult for her since I had prepared everything and we had more evidence and documentation than was necessary. Another piece of advice is that if you have no children there is no reason to come early as all the applicants with children are allowed inside first and this puts you near the back of the line regardless of when you showed up. Actually, this is a nice thing for the applicants with children. Also, wear light clothes as the room where you will wait is very crowded with applicants for tourist visas and the temperature was very uncomfortable. The interview itself was good as the interviewer used both Portuguese and English. We were asked the names of my children, their ages, where we will live. Then they said we were approved. The entire process took from 7:15AM until 11:30 AM, but almost all the time is spent waiting.
