New and need help

[julyaugust 0]

Hi, everyone I am new to this too. My husband interview is March 29 and I am wondering if I should go or not. Money is a big problem for us right now, but I would like to be there. The interview is in Guyana at 7am. I believe we have everything, but I don't know. Reading everyone views is making me nervous. I am a teacher and I don't know if I can get the days off. I have spring break coming up on April 1. Does anyone know how interview are conducted in Guyana. Thank You all.

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of us on here. I wouldn't be able to tell you what would be the best course of action regarding his interview. But from what I have read on here, as long has you have proof of a solid/true relationship and you have all of your documents then the interview shouldn't be a problem.

Can you fill in your timeline. Perhaps there may be other Guyanese lurching on the board that are trying to get an idea of how things are going for other Guyanese throughout this journey. Also keep us updated as to the outcome. We love to hear of Visa approvals. Good luck. :-)

I was unable to attend my husband`s interview last summer & it was not a problem. He was issued the visa. Be sure that your husband take along every piece of evidence material you guys can think of. It sounds like you are prepared so don`t worry yourself too much. Best of luck!

Thanks for the encouragement. I know we do. I can't wait.

As some perspective from a spouse that did go, I can tell you that it made my wife a lot more comfortable, but I'm not terribly convinced it did us a whole lot of good for the interview. I came up, she (the consular officer) asked if I was the husband, I said yes, showed my passport, and then I sat back down. I think our approval was much more influenced by a.) our paperwork, which was very thorough and frontloaded, b.) our evidence--we had pictures, and c.) my wife's demeanor.

To the extent that my presence helped my wife's demeanor, I think going was a good idea. But having been through the process, I wouldn't say it was at all necessary. This is keeping in mind that we are an Iranian couple, which almost always requires AP. Then again, I don't think Abu Dhabi is a terribly difficult embassy, so it's hard to say if your embassy will look at it differently.

I did not go to my wife's interview either but I was told that if I could write a letter telling how I met my wife, how much I loved her and sent my apologies that I was not able to attend the interiew because I was not able to take time off of work, that this would help. When my wife was asked if I was there at the interview she showed my letter and she says she thinks this helped. So this is just a thought that may help with the interview!

I'm not sure if it made a big difference, but I did attend my husband's interview in GT a year ago today. We were approved and picked up the visa the next day. They did interview us separately, but with the embassy you just never know what they are really looking for. You sound like you are prepared for this, so if you cannot make it, just make sure your husband goes there confident. There was another guyanese on VJ that did not go to her husband's interview and he was approved just fine. Good luck!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I can not get the days, so he will have to do it on his own. I will keep encouraging him.
