My fiancé couldn't attend the interview with me, so I went there with my mom. My interview was scheduled for 8h20, but we got there around 6h45, as I live in the other side of the city and was afraid of getting stuck in traffic. So, at 6h45 we waited in line until 7h, the moment when we got it. NOTE: cellphones aren't allowed in the Consulate, so if you need to bring yours, you can leave them with some guys who keep your phone for you. My mom paid R$16 for both our phones.
Ok, so then we walked in and went upstairs, where Alex gave us a form and instructed us on how to fill it out. He is very helpful! The interview itself was very nice, the consul is a nice guy and asked a few questions. Everything very punctual. At the end he said "your passport will be ready in about 2 weeks". =D

Of course we were tense, but everything was organized and went well!
Our interview time was 9:20 and we arrived at the consulate by taxi an hour earlier (talk to the security guard and tell them you're there for an immigrant visa, so that you don't wait in the tourist line). After going through the metal detectors, we went up the stairs and into the waiting room. Alex placed us in specific seats, since there is an order to be followed.
We had to fill out two forms and wait to be called to the window, where a receptionist made sure we had all the necessary documents and they were in the right order. Then we waited again for our turn to interview.
The interview was very short. The questions were:
- How long have you been married? (4 years) Do you currently live together? (yes) - after this, no other relationship questions were asked.
- Has my husband ever been to the U.S. bef... read complete review

My interview was on February 16, 2016 and my appointment was set for 7:20 am. We got there early at about 6:15 am. It didn't take long for a line to form as we were second to arrive. We got there so early we couldn't get cafe do amaña :/ from the hotel but we got a small coffee close to the consulate right across the street for those that need coffee in the morning  We waited for about an hour and then the Famous Alex came to take names and call all of us inside to get ready for the interview. Alex was great. Ive read about him in many reviews, he didnt disappoint. He walked inside and it was straightforward just have documents ready. Alex was really cool, he explained everything in Portuguese but he explained to those that didn't speak Portuguese in English. There was a guy that practically walked in without anything, most had a bulk of documents as we did. But as it turned out the staff if pretty helpful and nice. In the interview room its a more like a waiting a... read complete review

As many of the CR1/IR1 reviews on here, our experience was very similar and positive.
My husband has his physical with Dr, Juliana Cancado in Belo Horizonte. She was excellent, and asked a lot of personal questions that you would normally expect during the consular interview. She typed all of my husband's answers onto the State Department database. Apparently, they do a lot of the interviewing on their behalf to save the consular officers' time.
Our appointment was for 09:20 on 23 February. We arrived very early, at about 08:00, but we were allowed in with all of the people waiting outside. Alex confirmed everyone's identity outside from his waiting list before we went inside. We all sat down inside the room wher Alex proceeded to explain the procedures, but only in Portuguese. So for the U.S. - American spouses who don't speak Portuguese, you might be a little lost. Thank goodness I speak Italian, so I got the gist.
All of the benef... read complete review
