Hello Vj'ers! Can my fiance' come with me during the interview at the Embassy? As in he will be right beside me during the interview?


Thanks!!!!

Not sure about the Philippines, but in Thailand I was able to attend the interview with Rin. In fact, the CO asked me more questions than he did her.

Yes. And I think it may be another piece of evidence that you are an real couple.

Tips I was given: wear the engagement ring, dress nicely (but don't overdo it, no suit needed), hold hands,

We dont have an interview schedule yet..... waiting for the packet. My fiance' will be flying to Philippines in April 26th and will stay for 50 days...so we are thinking maybe he can be with me during the interview at the Embassy. Im sure it would be a plus to have him with me during the interview. I was chatting with him yesterday and we were asking possible questions from the consulate to each other and I have perfected mine and he only answered 5 out of 10 questions. He cant remember the date when we got engaged, he cant remember our first email and it took him too long to answer me how many time we have met and when he first came to Philippines...it worrys me and I think it would be better if I will be alone during the interview but will let him go with me inside the Embassy...what do you think folks?

Piece of advice.... try to remember the basics! It starts on when, where and how you met, when you got enganged, his visit..and others. And try to response to the question fast because it will show if its real or not, don't look uncertain about your answer. Review your documents because i believe it has all your information, the basics.

Since you don't have your schedule yet, better practice with the questionaires here. It's only 3-5minutes interview with the CO then CO will decide if its approved or not. CO only asked for few questions but better be prepared!!!!
If he's coming with you in the interview, its better, but try to prepare him and help him remember the basics before you go there coz for sure he will be ask question!!!

Just a piece of advice! Hope this help!

Goodluck to both of you!!
