Hey everyone this is my first post ever don't know if anyone else has asked this just want your inquiry.  

 

So my husband and I met when I was 14 I'm now 28 me and him dated until I was 21 and then we broke up . The 5 years we were apart I got married and had a child , he himself had children within those  5 years (2), my ex husband and I didn't get along at all and decided to call it quites, then I went to Dominican Republic reunited with my first love and he had broken up with his baby mother so we decided to give it a try again! I got divorced Nov 2015 and got remarried Feb 2016 I truely love him and we will be married a year this Sunday , since then I visited twice. I read somewhere in the Dominican Republic embassy website that it's recommended for the spouse to go to the interview (petitioner). But in the email for the interview says petitioners are not required, here is where the problem is I have a full time Job at a hospital and don't have any vacation time to attend the interview since I took time in October, I have all the evidence needed just scared he can get denied if I don't attend!  Wanted to know what you guys here at visa journey think? Who ever is Dominican here knows that Dominicans take this seriously attending the interview! Please give me your input it will be highly appreciated

I'm the USC, and when my husband finally gets to the interview process i will be there for the interview. It isn't required, but it is highly recommended the spouse is at the interview. My sister in law's USC husband attended her interview.

November 10, 2016 Received Hard copy of NOA1

The statement that says it is not required for the petitioner to attend the interview is a generic standard statement in the P4 letter.  However, if you download the instructions for your consulate (Dominican Republic in your case), it should give some details about this.  I strongly recommend attending the interview with your spouse.  

 

 

I-130 (for parents of US Citizens):

 

8/19/2022: NOA (IOE0917XXXXXX); Texas Service Center

7/22/2023: Both (parents) petitions approved

7/27/2023: Both cases sent to NVC

8/8/2023: Received NVC welcome email for both parents

The only reason I'm saying this is cause of my job of course I would love to attend the interview just the circumstances of my job and when the interview is I won't be able to attend so I'm a little scared but I'm putting my hopes in god that everything will go well I will send a letter from my employer explaining myself and why I  may not attend. My best friend didn't attend and her spouse got his visa approved so my prayers are with god that everything will turn out for the best.. Thanks for your input
