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

The interview from start to finish just took around 3 hours. (7:15am -10:30ish am)
I arrived about 1 hour before scheduled time of 7:15am. Tourists line up on Rua Mexico while K-1s line up on Rua Santa Luisa (basically, K-1s line up at the back of the Consulate). Around 7:00, 2 guards turned into 50. A lady in a green vest came out and checked photos and gave us our number in which we would be called into the interview. We were let it, went through the metal detector and lead upstairs to a waiting room. Once there the lady spoke in Portuguese and explained what to do and how to organized your papers, which you can have done already by visiting the consulate website. After that she calls you to the back of the room to a desk where she checks your papers. Then you go to either room 1 or 2 when told and another person checks papers. We had an older lady, who was serious but kind. Once she put everything in order, she had my fiancee sign 1 or 2 papers and then we were finis... read complete review

Hi,
I hope I can share my interview day with you guys and it can help you guys in your process.
My interview day was nice, yes it was =). On 7: 15 all the girls were in line the most part alone including me. And we were talking and sharing our history with each other. Then a woman very nice, polite and helpful came to check the pictures. After that we went inside in a room and the same woman gave us a document with the order of the documents and say to you to sign the DS 156 and DS 230 if you didn't do it yet. So then she checks your documents to make sure is in the right order.
So them they start to calling the numbers (you will receive a number when you are in line outside).
So then you go to a room and they check your documents again and say for you if something is missing. Then they start to calling the numbers to the interview. During this time all of us were talking,laughing helping each other and wishing good luck. And ... read complete review
