I have not actually had my interview yet but I found this on another forum for Gringoes in Brazil and the author said I was more than welcome to publish. I found it super helpful and needs to be passed on for all interviews.
First I want to apologize for this being such a long post. However, I believe in specifics so I get real specific. If you take the time to read this you will find valuable information that will help if your fiancée or spouse has an interview date coming up.
I took the time to type this entire ting for people to refer to and use. I will ask for other members that read this post to please write anything…even if it is the letters “OK”… that will keep this post towards the top of the first page for others to also use.
Now to explain how my wife’s’ interview for her K-3 visa in Rio went. The date was set for Tuesday, June 13, 2006 at 8am. We were 1 of 9 other people that were scheduled for a “K” Visa Interview on t... read complete review

YEAH!!! I did it!
I’m very happy and I’m feeling the most lucky girl in this world! First of all, because I have Chris in my life... And second, because everything went smooth to me in this interview.... I may say that it was amazing! Much better than I could ever imagine... The documents of the Affidavit of Support were missing... All I had (related to the Affidavit), was a copy of the I-134 of our co-sponsor (Chris’ mom) and the copy of her 2005 income taxes... So, the maximmun I was hoping was that they would ask me to send the documents over mail for them to give me the visa right away! Well, let me tell ya how everything went:
My interview was scheduled to 8:00 am (like everyone’s, I know...hehe) and I arrived at Rio’s Consulate at 7:00 am... There was a big line outside and, when it was 7:45, they started separating people according to the visa category, and we started entering the building.
In the immigration visa section,... read complete review

The consulate is in Rio, not Brsilia. Our interview was in Rio on May 12. I attended with my fiance. We were there early and first in line with documents but it turned into an all day affair. There were about 18 people there for interviews. We were called in about 6th. I joined my fiance in the interview room, no problem. The officer asked if I was the petitioner. We were both sworn in. To our great surprise the officer asked no question of my fiance. And asked just 2 of me. He was very polite and professional. I stupidly left out my tax return. He said that if I could retrieve it yet that day he could make a determination. We shot over to an internet cafe and I retrieved it online. We were back at the consulate in less than 30 minutes. The guard at the consulate was not going to let us back in! We explained the situation but she said no, that we would have to make another appointment. This was not feasible. I showed her my passport and she shook her head. I then said that I was and Am... read complete review

Update:
We got the visa today (the day after the interview). Normally you have to wait 2 days, but we asked if we could get it sooner and they were able to do it for us!!
As Carol said her review...the interviewer was very polite and wanted to hear the story of how we met and how we developed our relationship. He did not ask to see any proof (I don't know if my being there with Paula made a difference - probably), but he just wanted to hear about how we fell in love. Be prepared to talk about your relationship at length (5-10 minutes). Prove to him that the two of you know and love each other.
Have all your paperwork ready...have all the copies that you need...and be prepared to talk about your relationship.
Here is the list of required documents and the order that they want them:
1. Two front view photos (name printed behind)
2. Passport
3. Citibank fee
4. 2 Forms DS-156
5. Fo... read complete review
