We just had our visa interview at the consulate in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday and it was a pretty painless process compared to what we had imagined. All of the staff working were pleasant and helpful throughout the entire morning.
Our interview was scheduled for 8:20am and we were let into the consulate around 8:40 to begin filling out the paperwork and go through the necessary processing. Around 10:30 we did the "interview part" with an American woman who was very friendly, talkative, and upbeat. Finally, by 11:15am we were walking out happy to hear that the visa was approved!
Although the process took the entire morning (which we had expected) it was a good experience and not at all as bad as you would think.

On the other hand, the people who work behind the glass walls (either collecting documents or interviewing people) were very gentle and playful, which helped with the tension.

My interview was scheduled for 8:20am. I arrived at 7:50 and was 3rd in line. Differently from what I read on this list, I felt no need to be there much earlier than 8:20. In fact, the order of the interviews was defined by the order in which peopl... read complete review

They are very kind and the Consul just made few questions about how we meet each other and why the first meeting had been in Japan and not in Brazil. She asked about the family member's names and age of two of my husband's children.
