The Consulate location in Rio de Janeiro is very convenient and close to the airport. Upon arrival, I informed the employee organizing the line outside the Consulate that I was there for a K1 interview and he directed me to go inside. The immigrant visa interview process is completely separated from the regular tourist visa and has 3 parts - first you fill a form with personal data and organize the documents in a certain order, whic they then check and remove unnecessary items. After that, another employee receives your documents and confirms some of your info. The longest part is the waiting for the actual interview - the third and final step. The interview itself is relatively quick, and it can be done in English or Portuguese.
Overall the Consulate is very organized and the employees are helpful and polite.
