fiance in the interview

[Seven 24]

Hello!

My fiance will be visiting me in summer and he was wondering if he HAS TO attend to my interview (that hopefully will be around summer). I told him almost sure that not that some people go with their fiances for the interview to support.

I thought that triple ask it doesn't hurt... anyone thinks that if he isn't there for the interview could be bad for an approval or as i heard it doesn't matter if he's there or not.

Nothing that we're worrying too much just curious to know.

Thanks to everybody!

It is good he will be there for a visit- however, most embassies will not allow him to attend the interview.

Most K-1's petitioners are not at their beneficiaries interview, and they pass it just fine.

You may want to ask the embassy if it's permitted, if not, he can still go and provide moral support

This is not "worst-case scenario" advice. Also, the "most petitioners" and "most embassies" comments require information that support those statements, if they're to be believable.

It is always, always advisable for the U.S. petitioner to be as close to the interview as possible -- whether this is in the embassy interview, the embassy waiting area, the embassy grounds, or outside on the sidewalk. If the petitioner is not allowed in the interview, he/she can give his/her U.S. passport to the interviewee, who can show it to the CO in the interview. Doing this will definitely add to the evidence of relationship, and it may mean the difference between issuance or refusal of the visa.

I have no specific information or knowledge regarding interviews in Spain.

Petitioners do not HAVE TO attend interviews. I always suggest they do. Some consulates do not allow them into the interview in which case you bring their passport in to show they are present. I strongly recommend that the petitioner plan to be at the interview.

Gary do you know when the best time to advise the embassy that the petitioner will be going? I will be going with John but I'm not sure if he should just send a letter back with packet 3 stating I will be attending or what we should do?

That wasn't advice - that was an observation, subtle difference, i know, based on the cases here and from what I've read at other sources. Most people do not attend the interviews in other countries and have no issues.

You would notice in my complete post, I suggested that it's good for him to be there, and for the OP to ask the embassy if he would be permitted to attend the interview.

Here is the number to call and ask. Some allow it and some don't as Bobby said, but I wouldn't have him make a special trip to sit in the waiting area or anything. If he is going there anyway during that time by all means take him with ya, but otherwise it's a big expense for nothing. If you get denied or approved it won't be because he's sitting out to be with you. Best of luck to you.
