Our interview was on May 13th. We stayed at the Ibis Santos Dumont hotel. Decent hotel, nice breakfast, but no room service.
We went to have breakfast at 6:30am (time they open) and left the hotel around 6:50am. Walked to the Consulate, pretty close, around 10 minutes.
When we arrived there, there were about 8 people already in line. The girl came by to check the names and they opened the doors at 7:30. There were about 12-15 applicants, no K1 visas, only CR1s and people applying for parents.
We went up to the US citizen part and the girl gave us a sheet of paper to put our contact information. Also she gave a list of documents to be placed in order in case you haven't already sent them to NVC. I only had to give them 2 photos, medical, passport and the number she gave me while checking the names outside.
Then pre-screening. The lady was very professional, no smiles, just a sharp "good morning". There were 2 people doing the pre-scree... read complete review

This is really long, so to sum it up if you don't want to read it all:
Interview was long, but no problems really. The consul asked us two questions: had my husband ever been to the US? Since the answer was no, how come he speaks English so well. It took 5 minutes. Then he told us we were missing a part of the I-864. They kept the passport, we paid courier fee. We mailed docs a couple weeks later, visa was issued the next day!
Now to a more detailed version....I loved reading the details before our interview so I've included them here, but I know it's long!
We got to the consulate at 7:00 and there were 5 couples in front of us. There were about 10-12 couples in total the day we were there. Every single one was with their significant other (and all were already wearing wedding rings) minus one boy that looked about 18, he was with his father, but he was also wearing a wedding ring. They did let the father enter the consulate, but not the interview r... read complete review

We arrived at the consulate at 7:06am and went around the consulate (Rua Santa Luzia) to the super short immigrant visa line. (Tourists have a very long line on Rua México.) We were the 11th (of 12) groups of people in line and were handed a number. *NOTE:* the number has nothing to do with the order you're seen in. We were the 7th couple seen. There is no reason to arrive early, unless you want to visit one of the little shops or stands that opens early (but most of them don't!).
After handing over our cell phones and going through the metal detector, we headed upstairs to the immigrant visa lobby, where we sat down in the back of the room after being handed a piece of paper with the order of documents. NOTE: if you're anal enough to pre-arrange the documents, the order on the website is NOT what's being currently used. The website has the Nov 09 version of the document list, and they're using the July 09 version still. (There are two differences in the forms: July 09... read complete review
