Interview - Embassy in Lima

[Jude and Fiorella 0]

Hello guys, We have our interview date at the embassy in Lima Peru for the K-1 visa; however, I was wondering how necessary it is for both parties to attend. A plane ticket is ~ $700, and I'd rather save that money for the interview cost, medical examination, or my fiancee's flight here.

So my big question is this: how much does the presence of the petitioner aid in the approval of the visa?

If i DONT go, will We be rejected?

If i DO go, is it guaranteed that we'll be approved?

Ughhhh!

Any insight would be great!

I have heard that it is not necessary, but that it depends on the embassy. Some embassies apparently won't let the USC in. I don't think Lima is this way. When we went to do the CRBA for my son, they had both of us talk to the consular officer, then the consular officer wanted to speak to me alone (due to my sordid past ). I hope to go when my fiancee has her interview; it can't hurt and it has to put a positive spin on it... besides my fiancee will need someone to take control of our little rugrat while she is be interrogated

So, don't sweat it. If you can go, great. If you can't, don't fear... it should not negatively affect the process.

As a fellow Perucho filer, feel my envy No, seriously, I am happy for you and wish you the best of luck.
