After reading many interviews on the Rio Consulate, I was very aware of the process, and had plenty of faith that it was going to be straight forward.
Indeed, it was just like that, with A COUPLE OF THINGS that I wish I had read before, because I spent a couple extra hours there, that I would not have ;-)
First of all, I flew down to Brazil, to go to the interview, even though I knew it was not needed. However, I wanted to be there with my wife.
Since she leaves in Sao Paulo, we went to Rio on the weekend, and stayed on a friend's house, which was about 45 minutes from the consulate. I read about the hotel next door, but our friend refused to let us stay on the hotel.
On the morning of her interview, we took a cab, and got to the consulate about 6:30 AM ( interview time was 7:15 AM ). We went to get some coffee, instead of going to the queue, since I read on the forum that you did not have to get there early.

Cheguei ao consulado as 6 40 da manhã e já haviam pessoas na fila. A fila do visto de noivo fica bem em frente a entrada do consulado (e a entrada do consulado para fica na parte de tras). O consulado tem pessoas uniformizadas ajudando portanto pergunta a uma delas qual a fila para seu visto específico. Se levar celular (não é permitida a entrada com o mesmo), várias pessoas com coletes do lado de fora, oferecem um serviço para guardar seu telefone. Para não ter que me preocupar eu não levei celular.
Por volta das 7 da manhã uma senha é dada para todos na fila. Como pessoas com crianças tem prioridade, não se preocupe em chegar muito mais cedo que 7 horas.
Após passar por um detector de metal subimos para uma sala separada dos pedidos de visto para turistas.
Lá em cima haverão 5 passos. 1) Conferência de documentos, 2) Conferência novamente em uma cabine. 3) Pagamento da taxa referente ao seu visto. 4) Entrevista com o c... read complete review

The consul asked me if I ever had tried a american visa before, how and when we first met, if I have kids, If my finace have kids and what is their names.
Why we want to live in USA and not in Brazil.
And then asked if we have pics together and asked to see.
He asked all these questions while typing on computer, and then he finally said that the interview was approved.
My fiance went to the interview with me and I can tell that it helps A LOT when the american fiance goes with you to the interview.

Our interview result was APPROVED, however the experience was not so enjoyable. Our advice is to bring only the documents asked for in the instructions provided on the consulate website. Bringing additional documents just makes it confusing. In our case, my fiancee applicant had to go back by herself and submit the documents and it made it difficult for her since I had prepared everything and we had more evidence and documentation than was necessary. Another piece of advice is that if you have no children there is no reason to come early as all the applicants with children are allowed inside first and this puts you near the back of the line regardless of when you showed up. Actually, this is a nice thing for the applicants with children. Also, wear light clothes as the room where you will wait is very crowded with applicants for tourist visas and the temperature was very uncomfortable. The interview itself was good as the interviewer used both Portuguese and English. We were asked... read complete review
