Do I need to bring my spouse to the interview?

[Kristal 0]

Hi all, i plan on filing for citizenship under the 3 year rule being married to a US citizen. Will my husband have to be present for the interview? Is this interview similar to the green card interview?

i wasn't able to accompany my husband to his interview as I couldn't take the time off from my work. I would have liked to go for support, but it wasn't possible. My husband told me that had I gone, I would have just waited outside. My husband was the only person being interviewed and my presence was not a requirement. The IO didn't even ask if I was there or not. My husband had all of his documents and his interview took all of 20 minutes, from start to finish. Good luck to you.

You don't have to, but it's better to do so. It's a good sign of a good marriage to the officer.

My husband was there during my interview, but he was not allowed to come inside the Adjudications Officer's room.

And how does the good sign of marriage to the officer helps your N400 petition ?

No need that he comes with you. He is anyway not allowed to join you during the interview.

They don't even know if your spouse is there or not. It could be anyone sitting next to you in the waiting room if there is someone with you for company..

I was allowed in the room for the Naturalization interview.
