The interview was simple and painless for my fiancé. He arrived 40 minutes early with the required documents listed on the appointment e-mail. Nothing extra was needed, as well as any copies of anything. After sorting through the paperwork he was interviewed with two questions, "Who proposed to whom?" and "How long have we been dating?". Then the nice lady said, "Congratulations, your visa was approved!" javascript:emoticon(' ')
Just be yourself and be honest. Don't give more information than is asked of you and BREATHE, your journey to your loved one is almost over! javascript:emoticon('')

Minha entrevista estava marcada para as 9:20. Cheguei as 8:30 no consulado e um dos funcionários (facilmente identificados com uma camisa vermelha) me mandou para uma fila lateral na Rua México esquina com Santa Lúcia. Lá esperei com outras 3 mulheres até 9:00.
As 9, um Funcionário super simpático também de vermelho surgiu lá de dentro e nos chamou para segui-lo. Lá, subimos uma escada e sentamos em frente a uns guichês. Nisso, ele entregou 3 papéis: um dos correios para preencher com os dados de endereço e o RDJ, um com as infos de contato (endereço Brasil e tels, endereço e tels EUA e endereço RJ ou nome do hotel). É bom ter todas essas infos já prontas em um papelzinho. O terceiro papel foi com a ordem dos documentos.
Fui a primeira a preencher e ele me chamou em uma mesa para ajudar a colocar tudo em ordem. Não esquecer de escrever o nome completo atrás da fotografia. Aliás são 2.
Me chamaram no guichê e colheram... read complete review

My interview was scheduled for 9:20am. I took the metro to Cinelandia station and it was such a small walk to the consulate. I got at the immigrant visa line at 8:30am and I was the 4th in line.
At 9am the smiley and friendly Alex checked our names and took us inside.
He gave all the instructions to fill the form. I was the first one to finish and Alex set my papers.
Some minutes later I was called in a cabin to have my fingerprints taken and all the documents asked. The consular assistant asked for my husband and I said he couldn't be there due to work, and he said it's ok.
I went back to wait for my interview. 10min later a man called my name and I got there. First he made me say the jurament about telling only the truth.
He started speaking in Portuguese asking where I met my husband.
I asked if I could speak in English and he said it was ok.
The questions were:
-where did you meet?
-when?
-did you start dating si... read complete review

Basically ok; not much to complain about.
Strange is that all immigration interviews in Brazil are in Rio de Janeiro. Rio is a historical place with little actual economic importance. Sao Paulo is /the/ hub in Brazil (that is, in all of South America); the consulate there would be a much more logical place to hold the interviews.
Also strange are the shipping procedures for the passport. After the interview you have to go to a postal office to pay for shipping there, then bring the voucher back. This feels like a really outdated procedure. Collect the money in the consulate, and just ship it. This probably would be easier on all involved; it definitely would be easier on this end.
And really strange is how they treat marriage. We got married formally shortly before the visa procedures, but have lived in a common law marriage for quite a while. They told us that they are not interested in any evidence that we are actually married for a long... read complete review
