The long awaited day was finally here. My spouse and I arrived at the Consulate at 7:15 for our 7:30 appointment. As others have said there is a separate line for immigrant visas, this was on the opposite side of the entry door. I believe we were the last to arrive but everyone enters at the same time. The interview order is not defined by how early you get there but by the order the consulate has scheduled the meetings. Once everyone is in the holding room outside the 3 rooms, (1 interview room and 2 other rooms for document verification and finger printing)t he organizer goes over the process of putting your documents together and filling out 1 form which states general information i.e. address, rdj #, date, etc.
The coordinator gathers the forms of each interviewee by order of the consulate. Then you proceed to a room 1 and/or 2 in the same order. When you are at the window a consulate official goes through your documents they received in your case from the NVC ... read complete review

After your visa has been approved, you can say that the interview was easy, but up to that moment, it is high adrenaline all the way through.
I was the first person to arrive for the immigration line. I stayed in a hotel nearby, and walked to the Consulate. My interview was scheduled for 7:15 AM, and I was there at 6:45. Around 7:00 AM they hand out a stub with a number. They let us into the building around 7:30 AM. The same girl who handed out the numbers (there were only 5 cases; in 2 of them both the man and woman were present) tells you to get the documents out of any case or file, and stack them in order (it will be a good idea to get this done at home - the order of the documents is available on the embassy web site). Some of the documents need to be signed. Others need to have zip codes and phone numbers added. She will tell you to do it when she verifies them. You must answer the question of when you intend to arrive in the US, even if you have not made plans fo... read complete review

Well... besides the process of the physical entry in the consulate building that was in my opinion excessively demanding, the interview was smooth. We had to wait about two and a half hours. We went together to the boot, we had to speak with an intercom since there was a overly thick glass separating us from the officer.
He asked us only two questions:
Where did you meet? How long ago did you meet?
Good Luck...
And it was done!

Waited all morning and early afternoon for my interview. We interviewed for about 30 minutes. He had my packet in front of me, but chose to speak directly to me and asked me questions like "How does my finance react when he gets frustrated?" or "What do you love about him?"
Many of my friends were nervous but I passed and received my entry visa that day. I am very happy!!

Things were very smooth. I spent the night at the "Aeroporto Othon Hotel": 3 stars, basic and good enough for me, breakfast at 6am was important, and it is very close to the consulate, so I went walking in the morning to the consulate. Things were very smooth to me, placed the documents in order, talked to the person on the window about the docs, took finger prints and to the interview. Until then, everyone are brazilian employers, all of them were very polite to me, and helpful to all I could see that needed assistance. I was the first to be interviewed, I believe it is because I had no problems at all with my documents. But those who had forgotten something were given blank forms to fill, or could go outside to take pictures, nothing bad. The interview started in portuguese, and he took a while to ask about my english and then we spoke in english. The questions were about me and my fiance, my family, my trip to meet him and the fact I spent 6 months with him. Very quick, though I was... read complete review
