I have a 2 year old son, whom I thought would be traveling with myself and family to Jamaica in two weeks. However, after 3 months trying to get his passport, I realize the passport cannot be obtained before August 16th... Soooo my son still has not met my fiance face to face. They talk on the phone and Skype video chats, but in an interviewer's eyes at the embassy is this really enough?

Does anyone have personal experiences with this issue? I'm hoping to get a passport for my son within the next 3 more months, and make a trip with him then to see fiance; however, nothing is guarenteed at this point with his passport. So my question is, how important is it for fiance and USC's child to meet face to face before the embassy interview?

My daughter was unable to meet my husband face-to-face until he arrived to the US. However, they got to know each other best they could through skype video chats. The CO asked about this and if my husband knew my daughter and had met her. She is not allowed out of the US due to previous divorce agreement, but make sure your fiance knows the child's name, age, and things about him. Those questions may come up in the interview.

Thanks so much for your reply :thumbs: I'm hoping to make another trip within the next four months after this upcoming trip, and hopefully the passport will be approved after necessary court hearings, etc... But if not, ughhhhh... They do talk on Skype just about everyday so that's something. :blush:
