I hope you get your interviw faster than us, be sure to ask her to call tomorrow to confirm they goy the fax. Good luck!!
In regards to the petitioner being at the interview I don’t think I hill make a huge difference, so we decided that we prefer to spend Christmas an new year together (since he has a week off from work) and hold back his time off for our weeding in the US since we will be having friends and family flying there. So I guess it really depends how comfortable you feel about it.

Im noy sure who it was off the top of my head that recently posted that the fiance went to the interview alone and there was no pronlem...All along i have been planning on being there but with Leidy being in the hospital i had to go there, and in my job im in charge of operations and a staff, it really doesnt look good for me to leave monthly and not be around!! I will have to wait and see!
I am not the end all of advise or opinions, but, I had wanted to attend the interview with Paola and did. I do not think my presence made one bit of difference. I was never asked one single question, the CO, as far as I could tell did not even look at me.
In talking to Bob from Colombian Services, who has helped many, many through the process, says it makes no difference if both are at the interview.
If we had to do it over again, I would still be there if possible. That is just me. I wanted to be there to support Poala.
I did see some who were at the interview window for 20 or more min. being grilled over and over. First her with questions, then him, then her, then him, over and over. If you are not there they can not try to trick you.
The CO has the respI hope you get your interviw faster than us, be sure to ask her to call tomorrow to confirm they goy the fax. Good luck!!onsibility to determin if the relationship is real or not in a very short period of time. However they do that is up to them. If you are not there with your fiance or fiancee, they have only your evidence to judge your realtionship by. That could be good, or that could be bad.
Being totaly prepared, having all the docs ready and a good journel portraying your relationship is the best thing. I talked to one couple who had become confused and gave some conflicting responses to the questions and were denied. They went back a second time and were calmer and got the visa. Another woman went by herself and was approved.
Age difference may come into play also. I am 26 years older then Paola, another reason I wanted to be there.
In the end, I think as long as you are prepared, have good evidence of your relationship and have all the required docs, it is not as important for both to attend the interview as we all may think.
Buck, i am like you....I am dying to be there..it just feels like the right thing to do....I just have to be smart and make the right decision....as much as i want to be there my job comes first...I guess i just have to gauge things....I really want to be there but i also do think that if Leidy goes to the interview well prepared things should be ok.....But i also remember reading early i the colombia club postings that the consular said that for a k1 visa it is a great thing for the petitioner to attend the interview.....God i want to be there!!!!! But now with this whole thing with not being able to pick the visa up and having to wait for it to be delivered, just makes things more complicated!
MV-JR....I hope that's not the case ...i just had Leidy fax the papers over today and i am hoping for an interview date by weeks end!

Thanks again and keep us posted!!!
