I honestly don't understand all of this fear about going alone. Its all about how you handle yourself. At the end of the day if you do your due diligence by having the appropriate paperwork and its a real marriage/relationship theres nothing to fear. Most latin people scare their friends/relatives due to a bad example they heard or were told by someone else that they don't know the important details. Usually these people make it seem all perfect but neglect to tell the true side of the story as to how a paperwork was filed incorrectly or any other little detail that is significant. 

My wife was told by her family of all of these little issues of going alone and scared the ####### out of her. These people said things that made no sense. They have fear because they don't understand the process at all. She went to the interview today after being so scared and guess what? By listening to me instead and not being nervous she got a interviewer that was very serious overall but when she reached the window she had the most different interaction with the person. You can check my timeline to see which a review will follow soon. If its a true marriage its going to work out alright. 

Obviously all of this success has to do with reading a lot and following procedures along with the great environment that VJ has been able to offer to us. Im very thankful for all of your experiences and posts you guys give. At the end of the day most people don't do their homework and read enough to know that they don't need to ask questions. Ive never hired a lawyer and did my GC, EAD, Removed conditions, Citizenship, and now my CR1 for my wife. All simply because of the great people here in VJ. ;)

Alright.. since he was a new immigrant, what process did he go through when he arrived at the first airport in the USA. What queue did he join, and what forms did he fill online

For a high fraud country, attending the interview with your spouse would be part of that due diligence.

Personally, I will not have a problem taking off work due to FMLA (paternal leave) though.
