i met my wife one year ago and we got married the first time we met because we were in relation for one year and half before we decided to get married. now i have to go to my cr1 visa interview but she could not be there with me for serveral reason. She go to school, summer school and work full time in addition i am working in unsecure country where some people have been kidnaped last year, truly i am not at ease to bring her here for the interview. I know that it's probably a big red flag but there is a way to go througth this or she have to be here absolutly? I got all the email from the date of our marriage, i call her phone everyday got call history, sms and chat. I already sent a bunch of evidenc to the uscis in reply to a rfe, hope it will be include in the package sent to the embassy.

its not gonna be big red flag since u guys are not living in same country now. so she doesn't have to be there at interview with u. yes take marriage certificate, call history, sms, chat. take as much as proof you can and don't forget to take pics of both you together, the more pics you have its better. if you have your wedding DVD, then take that too. my cousin had problem when he didn't have pics or dvd at interview. there case got delayed. Lots of luck for the interview.

It makes a big difference which your country is.

Parts of this are wrong or may be wrong. First, no DVDs or other electronic media are accepted. Second, 12 months is a very long time not to have been together, so it could be a VERY red flag. The petitioner's presence may not be required, but it ALWAYS helps and NEVER hurts.

Think of the points that it would score if you went into your interview and handed your wife's U.S. passport to the consul, saying "she's outside." This could turn a borderline interview into a positive one, or keep you from getting a refusal and instead giving you a fighting chance. She should make every effort to be there.

In fact, she should try to arrive a couple of days before the interview, and you should take more pictures of yourselves together in various places and circumstances. Find a place to print the pictures, and submit them as extra evidence.

I would not take an interview at any West African consulate lightly. Whatever her other commitments are, she should strive to be there.
