First off, to get inside the consulate, you have to wait outside for an officer to come out and tell them that you have a scheduled interview. There's a lot of guards.
The thing is, you will only be able to have your interview if you did your biometrics at an ASC (since my case was expedited, the US Consulate scheduled mine to be done at the RIO ASC)
There were at least 8 people in the consulate waiting for their interviews, all of them had their interviews first and I was the last one.
There were actually two interviews. The first one is some sort of pre-interview where they check if you brought all the necessary documents (they give you a list once you're inside the consulate and they ask you to put them in order) In the pre-interview no questions were asked, also in the pre-interview they kept my passport after I gave it to them. In the real interview, the officer asks if you want to have the interview in English or Portuguese.

Got there, was admitted, went upstairs to fill some papers, then was called to have my documents checked, received a paper for the payment. Went downstairs to pay for it (I paid it in R$ but it could be in $), came back, handed the receipt to the very nice guy who was helping everybody there, then some minutes later I was called by my name to a little room.
The interview was really nice, even though I was very nervous. The interviewer was polite and didn`t make a lot of questions (just basic stuff like "where did you meet your fiance?", "how long have you been together?") and didn`t request any documents or pictures. Just in case, I put my folder full of things in front of him and made sure he saw my engagement ring (like I said "just in case").
We spoke in Portuguese the entire time, even though he asked me if I spoke English and I said yes.
Then he said: "congratulations, your visa was approved!". He was so nice he even smiled saying that <... read complete review

The consulate was uncrowded and everyone we dealt with was professional, helpful, and friendly. The agent who conducted the interview put us at ease. The whole process was easy.
