To begin with, like most of us, I was freaking out for no reason! 
I went to Rio on Monday afternoon... after 13 hours of bus drive - plane was WAY too expensive this time - I got to Rio. My dad went with me. I'm from Paraná, btw! Anyway, we got there and took a cab to the hotel - cabs in Rio are much cheaper than in São Paulo, just so you know! We paid 24,00 reais for this ride and went to Hotel OK (www.hotelok.com.br) I tried first to get a reservation at Hotel Ambassador, which is right across the street, and was half the price (80,00 reais) of the other one. They told me they couldn't make a reservation for me, I think they were either full or under remodeling, don't know. But I actually didn't regret changing to Hotel OK after all... the room is pretty fair and have a nice view of Urca's Mountain.
Anyway, we got there one day early, since the bus get to Rio around 9 am, and the interview is earlier in the morning. We went for a walk and... read complete review

It couldn't have been easier. The embassy staff was very nice to us. The interview was very relaxed, the consul was very friendly and was even making jokes with us! The visa was issued on the following day. Since I'm not from Rio I got my passport in 2 days through a private courier service, like Fedex, who has a representative in the Consulate.

Got there under rain! Almost got late, São Paulo traffic is lame!!! Anyway, huge huge line outside the Consulate, but since we had our appointment schedule, we just went to the gate and gave my name... the officials let us in and we went to a nice room to wait. There we got a number - even though we were the only ones in the room  - and waited 'till a lady called us. She asked me all our docs and didn't keep half of it!!!  Then she told us to go pay and get back to wait because the Consul would come to talk to us in person. After paying, we waited a little while and this very smiling lady called us by our names. We went to the window and she greeted us and was a very nice conversation! Asked my husband some questions about being here in Brazil and told us we should wait for their considerations, though every document was correct and she had to send it to the other immigration offices and etc... Bottomline: it was ok, nothing difficult, good tre... read complete review

Hello:
My K-1 visa interview was pretty smooth, thank God. It is really unbeliavable how we find it hard to control our emotions and anxiety or go through this painful and stressful process, but in the end, everything is worthwhile. Anything is worth in order to be with the love of your life.
So, my advice is calm down, relax, take a deep breath, and have in mind that in your heart you know what you are pursuing — a true relationship with your sweetheart in the United States. 
My suggestion is
