Hi,

I had a quick question - Can I accompany my spouse for consulate interview...will I be allowed to go along with her?

(this is for Mumbai consulate)

Thank you, appreciate your reply.

Cheers

hi,

I am a victim of today... so i can say... no relatives allowed. Only the beneficiary . You can wait outside.

Thanks Jigi, please don't despair...things will work out! Hang in there!

Unless things have changed dramatically in the last few months, The U.S. citizen is allowed in the embassy. I accompanied my husband to his interview and had no problems getting in.

they didnt allow your spouse in? I was planning to go for the interview... so should i go now or not?

technically they cannot refuse you entry into the US consulate if you are a US citizen. to be safe you should send them an email to see if you are allowed to go in with your spouse. if they respond back with a positive then take that email along with you.

i am planning to do the same. will let you know how it goes.

I attended my husband's interview without any problems. You should be allowed to enter the Embassy. After all, you are the petitioner. To be on the safe side, bring your passport. Also, e-mail the Embassy your question MUMBAIIV@state.gov

Good luck!

As far as I know, US citizens are allowed into the embassy, you must carry your valid un-expired US passport. They will let you inside the embassy. I think you should go (considering your situation), support your fiance.

Thank you all!

I was thinking on the same lines too....Anyways, I have emailed to Mumbai consulate. I will post their reply here as soon as I receive it.

Good day!

Thank you! Your consulate review is also very helpful!

Good luck at the interview
