I went to Rio de Janeiro one day before the interview and stayed at IBIS Hotel. It is just 5 minutes walking to the Consulate. I arrived at the Consulate at 6:30 am .There were about 10 people in the line and it was very fast. They checked if I had all documents, another person checked the information in the documents and after that I paid the tax and went to the interview. The consul was very nice. She asked some questions in Portuguese and said our visa was approved.

We arrived in Rio on Saturday the 8th. We stayed at the Diamond Hotel (we recommend staying elsewhere, because the cost was way too high for the quality of services received). On Monday, the 10th, I had an appt. with the doctor. I went to Dr. Joaquim, but some time ago I was in touch with his secretary, Joice. She is super organized and always answered my emails, and I sent a lot of emails to her too. Well, we arrived at the clinic at 8:50 am, and gave her my OB/GYN exam and my vaccination record; everything was ok, so she referred us to the radiology clinic close by, that was completed, and by 10 am we were already back at the doctor's office again. My appointment was at 11 am. The exam went very quickly. Dr. Joaquim is super nice too. After that, we went to the bank and got money to pay the doctor and returned to pay him. We had to wait another 1/2 hour for the guy who was taking my blood. We returned in the afternoon and everything was ready. So, this step was ok.

Interview was held on July 23, 2012
We arrived in Rio on the day before the interview. We stayed at the Hotel Atlantico. Very nice hotel but a little pricey. Was in walking distance to the Embassy as there was no way we wanted to fight traffic, parking and have any hassles in getting there the day of. As an FYI, the hotel does not offer any parking. If you drive there you will need to park at an underground parking facility but is close by the hotel.
We arrived around 6:00 am the day of the interview and waited at the back entrance to the embassy. The tourist visa line was very long but the immigrant visa line had about 8 people at around 07:00 am.
One of the officials came out and checked off my wife and son's name from his checklist. After about 10 minutes we went through the door and metal detectors. Then we went to the second floor seating area. Another official then gave instructions as to filling out some paperwork in order to pr... read complete review

My experience at the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro was really good! Things worked out much better than I expected it to be. I'm impressed!
The consulate is well located in downtown Rio. I got there at 6:05 am and there were 3 people on the k1/cr1 line already. At around 7 am a young guy gave us a little form, and led us inside to the second floor of the building where there was a waiting room. He passed around another form to fill up. As I was the first one to finish up, I went to the guy's desk and he put my paperwork in order, and told me to wait until I was called to a booth. There, a nice brazilian lady checked all my forms and documents, and gave me a receipt for me to pay the visa fee. After a few minutes, I was called to room number 3 where the inverview took place. There, this very pretty and nice lady said good morning in portuguese and just asked me 4 very simple questions in portuguese and said that she was going to approve my visa and good luck in the USA! I wa... read complete review
