question about interview

[dieseldan 0]

hey,

so when our interview date is set are we both going to be allowed to attend the interview, and what type of questions do they ask us in our interview.

I can answer the part about whether or not the USC fiance(e) can attend. Click on "embassy info" up top and find the embassy. I went to E for El Salvador and got San Salvador. There it says that no, the USC fiance(e) is not allowed to attend the interview.

However, that doesn't mean that the USC can't still offer support... being there right up til the foreign fiance(e) goes into the interview, and being there as soon as he/she gets out, would still be a comfort.

Someone else will have to answer about interview questions.

Ah, the Embassy Consular Officer questions.

They will attempt to validate the relationship, by asking key information about you, through your Fiance.

Questions vary, but she should be aware of significant details about your life, your work and your past.

Those items that were documented in the forms.

It is all an attempt to verify that she knows you. Don't stress over this, review with her, key facts such as:

Where you work

If you have children from a previous marriage, their names and ages.

Where you were born and grew up

How you met and where

And so forth.

How do I know this, reading here, and talking to people in the Embassies where I worked overseas. I was not Consular staff though. Otherwise, I would not ask questions here.

Good luck and have educational conversations with your Fiance, to ensure she is fully cognizant of your details.
