The interview was on a Tuesday. I (petitioner) was unable to attend with my fiance. My fiance arrived in Rio on Sunday so she could complete the physical on Monday and have everything in place for the Tuesday Interview. The medical process took about 3 hours and another hour or so of waiting for the bloodwork results. After the Medical exam was complete, she went and paid the Citibank fee of R$590.00. Back to her room to make sure all papers are in order. Tuesday morning, she arrived at the consulate around 5:30am, very early but people had already started arriving. At 7am they started seperating people by visa type. My fiance was escorted to the second floor where they checked our paperwork and gave her a form to complete. She was then called into a room and asked 4 questions 1) Where did we meet 2) When did we meet 3) How many times had I been to Brazil to see her. My fiance is 6 months pregnant at the time of interview. 4) Where would the baby be born? The visa officer ... read complete review

This is a long overdue review. The interview took less than 3 minutes. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I am currently in the US filing for AOS.
A couple of hints for the medicals: if you are a female, get a pap smear (it has to be dated up until a year before the medical appointment. That'll save you from any possible hassle. Second one: make sure the doctor checks the COMPLETE box in the medical form. Although I had ALL my vaccines, the doctor checked INCOMPLETE and I had to spend a few more dollars here just to get it done again - with the very same information in it and just the correct box checked this time. I wasn't too happy with the Brazilian doctor, he took a considerable amount of money and failed to to what he was supposed to.
This is it from me. Good luck to you all and don't worry, if you have the right paperwork, it'' be a breeze.

My wife arrived to the consulate at the appropriate time. She said the whole process was very easy. The people working there were very friendly. Her interview went very well and her visa was approved.

We got there really early about 6am. Didn't plan it like that, we overestimated how long it would take us to get there. Even so, people for tourist visa were already there. The tourists line up on the side (Rua Mexico) and the immigrant visas line up in the back of the consulate on Rua Santa Luzia. A guy will come around and ask if you have a cell phone, for a fee they will lock it up for you. They are strict with the electronics rule and no large bags!!! Shortly after 7am a lady came out and had the names of the immigrant visa applicants. She asked to see the photos and then checked your name off and gives you a slip of paper that you fill out later. Do not be alarmed with the tremendous amount of people as they are mostly for tourist visa and handled separately. Soon after they let some people in, they let the immigrant applicants in and you go through a metal detector and your personal items are x-rayed. Then head up to the 2nd floor. Once everyone is in, the lady starts explaining ... read complete review
