We had a very good experience with the Consulate in Rio. We found out on April 10 that his interview was scheduled for April 26, and he was able to make his medical exam appointment for April 25. The exam was simple, the doctor was nice (Dr. Joaquim Duarte, I think) and he got his results that day.
We arrived at the Consulate at 8 a.m. and turned in our documents. Then we had to wait until almost 1 p.m. for the interview, which was a little annoying, but a small price to pay. The consul allowed me to attend the interview with him, spoke Portuguese well, and didn't ask us any questions. He reviewed our paperwork, asked us to swear to tell the truth, took my fiance's fingerprints, had him sign the documents he needed to sign in front of an official, and told us to come back in two days to pick up the visa. We went back in two days, and it took about 15 minutes for them to call us and give us his visa and the packet he needed to give the immigration officer in the US. Everyone was polite and the consulate seemed well organized, easy to find, and clean. All in all, we were delighted!
