Bringing USC Son to Embassy Interview

[honey_barrel 1]

Hi everyone,

I will have my embassy interview this coming May 28 and I'm thinking of bringing our US citizen son with me to show a strong proof of bonafide relationship. Will it help if I bring him with me? He is 6 years old. Thanks.

what kind of visa are you applying for? usually if you declared that you have a son with your spouse in the aplication you filed helps with approval of visa, green card however thats not the case always.

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I am applying for IR1. We've been married for 7 years.

Yes that should help out a lot. When I applied to remove conditions I sent my daughters birth certificate and my application was approved quick.

Umm, I wouldn't bring the child to the interview. Bring his U.S. passport, pictures of him, etc., but not the actual child. It's a hell of a thing to put the kid through, all those hours in line there, and his physically being there won't make any difference, just proof of his existence. For that matter, I don't think it is even allowed.

My wife did not bring our son to her interview, just what I outlined above.

Hi, Thank you very much for the advice!

Having a child proves that you have met at least once. Raising a child together shows a strong, bona fide relationship.

No need to put the child through sitting and waiting. Be prepared to show the interviewer proof of your ongoing relationship with your spouse. That will be more powerful than having a child on your lap.
