Your question is actually very Consulate-specific.

People from other posts may answer you, but keep your eye on the fact that you are working with Casa, and act accordingly. Experiences from others in Morocco will be most applicable to you.

Several people from Colombia have recommended for the petitioner to be present at the time of the interview. Like it was stated above, it depends on the embassy. If you can afford it and have no issues taking the time off from work, then why not? If you can't then let it be.

I think it would help out a lot. I was there when my wife was interviewed two days ago.... and most of the questions were directed to me. My wife probably answered about 5% of the questions. But that's in Manila..... hope it helps.

I will be attending my hubbies interview in Jamaica. It suggested that you attend in Jamaica because it is a high fraud country. I would ask people from your country. It depends on each embassy if they even let u attend.

I attended my husband's interview at the US Embassy in London; I live in the UK so it wasn't difficult. The instructions we received said that my presence was not required but that it was allowed, so I went down with him for moral support.
