Hi Folks,

I know this issue was discussed before, but still i wanted to bring this issue again. I am planning to accompany my wife during her interview. Would it help or cause any problem? Please input your thoughts or experiences...thanks

some say it may help--some say it may not make a difference--and i know some worry that it may cause problems....

i have a friend who accompanied her husband--they only asked a few simple questions--who their joint sponsor was [for the affidavit of support]....and why they had waited so long to apply for a visa [they were not in a rush since they were in school]...she said the interview went fine...now, i'm not sure when she was told they would receive the visa--but she received it about 5 or 6 months later...

i didn't plan on accompanying my husband--but when we discussed it, he said he was afraid that if i was there, they would want to "test" us and ask us embarrassing, personal questions as proof of our marriage...

...i dont know if that was any help-- i hope it was...

i wish you all the best!!!--an easy, smooth interview and super quick visa in hand!!!

Some embassies don't allow the spouse/fiancee to be present while others do. I went with my wife to the interview in Bogota, Colombia. The interviewer didn't really ask us any questions. She just wanted to match her kids up with their names and birth dates.

In my case it made a very big difference my attourney have told me that if my wife was present for the interview it makes a huge difference on the one who interviews you .And it did in my case our inetrview was just great.In the begining only the applicant is called in atleast in my case and while we started the interview i let the interviewer know that my wife was outside and if she was needed to come in also and the lady said sure and it was all good .

I think its a great idea even if they dont call you in but knowing ur out there really makes a difference.

best of luck
