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 This feels like a really outdated procedure.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

Our interview was set at 07:40 in the morning, I chose a Hotel near to the Consulate. Months of waiting and review all documents each day until that! I was very nervous and anxious but my fiancé was with me, for sure, I felt more positive. We walked to the wrong side, too many people in the line. A gentle woman asked us for what kind of Visa we are applying, she said the right side, for my surprise It had one more couple and three girls. Ok, we are inside but went lost again, rsrsrrs, in the window the CO called a woman to show us where was the right place, she asked thousands of excuses for him and us. Ok, we went upstairs...just few people's and one guy in the table to see all our documents and put in order, we needed to write our addresses, we had a seat and wait. No more than 15 minutes a guy in the window ask for my name, he asked for some documents, I gave to him but not include the divorce paper in Portuguese, I had just in English. I became nervous and he said: Don't worry, ... read complete review

I will give recommendations first, then I will tell our story and review of how it all went down. Our interview appointment was set for Nov. 18, 2014, at 8:20am.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) Unless you are part of the 7am, 7:20am, and 7:40am club, I would not get there any earlier than 7:50am, unless you want to avoid traffic and not pay too much for taxi. Other than that, getting there too early before your appointment time is a waste of time. They basically entered all K-1 applicants in two waves: All the 7,:20, & :40am people at about 7:55am, and all the 8, :20, & :40am people at about 9:20am. We got there at about 7:20am and waited 2 hours just to get in.
2) Don't make the long line. Go to the back of the Consulate at the corner of Rua Santa Luzia and Rua Mexico. As you are coming from Av. Pres. Wilson you will see a huge line which is for Non-immigrant visas only. IF you are making a line with more than 20 people, it is very possible you are on ... read complete review
