My fiancé got at the embassy an hour before his interview (interview at 9:20, got there around 8:15). The embassy guard allowed him to go in early, but before going in he had to leave his backpack and cellphone with the people in front of the embassy... They come to you and charge 30 reais to keep your stuff.
After going in he went to the first floor and was given a piece of paper with information of the order he should put the documents. The paper didn't say anything about relationship proof. After putting the documents in order, he waited at a chair and was called on one of the windows for a pre interview. The guy (Brazilian) was really nice and looked over all his documents and gave a few back, he also collected his fingerprints. He even joked a little. Then back to waiting.. After around an hour and half, he got called to talk to the consul.
We believe that because he had already lived in the US, the consul started the conversation in english, without asking if he ... read complete review

My parents had their interview today and had a great experience at RDJ consulate. Their appointment was scheduled for 9:20am and they arrived there around 8:30am. They had to wait their scheduled time in order to go inside of the consulate. The consulate staff were very friendly and willing to help anyone that had questions!
We had a friend accompanied my parents to the consulate to help them out with and she was allowed to go in with them. I was really surprised to hear the security guard allowed her in since she did not have an appointment. She just told the security guard that my parents needed her help with organizing their documents. Our friend helped my parents in all the steps, except during the brief interview with the consulate officer.
The famous Leonardo was there and was answering people's questions. My parents said he was very polite and patient. He gave my parents a form to complete with their and mine personal information ,and a list with ... read complete review

The interview process was much less scary than I thought it would be. You just go in and they give you a form to fill out (with basic information) and a list of documents to put in a certain order. You wait a bit, and they call you up to look through your documents. Then you wait a little more (for us it was an hour and a half) for the interview that takes 5-10 minutes. The interview is just done at a window. Our appointment was at 9:20. We arrived at 8:30 and left at 11:15. They told us the visa takes two weeks to receive by mail.
You can't take your cell phone in, so you have to give it to the people on the street to keep, which is R$10. Just be aware of it and bring the R$10  Also, there's a play area in the waiting room with toys in case you have to take your kids. The whole thing is pretty casual (well, as casual as it can be). Everyone was perfectly nice and helpful. The consulate is also pretty conveniently located right by the subway station,... read complete review
