Petitioner only may be allowed at the discretion of the Embassy. Some Embassies let the petitioner in but have to wait in a separate area unless called in to answer a specific question. Some let both interview together and some even not allowed the petitioner in.

I was with them for their K-1 interview. I know I would be allowed but I never thought about my son.

Congratulations! Hopefully this part of your journey will be over soon!    As Mr. Spock 🖖 would have said: “Live long and pass the visa interview”

Heck I'm expecting you to get an April date with the expedite.   Rose already has her CFO certificate so there is only PDOS for the kids

I will do that. My main concern is the lead time for the Korean Police Certificate. They want originals and they took the original last time for the K-1. She hasn’t been beach since the late 90s but all we have is the copy.

Indeed!  There are some connections with NBI and we are going to see if the Korean Embassy will just “renew” the copy since nothing has changed. Hook or crook!

I will report back. Any thoughts on the Korean Police Certificate?  Do I need another original or will they accept a copy of the one I got for the K-1?

Kids school. It starts in June in Manila. They go to a school that requires the annual tuition be paid in full in May. 

Lucky you!! I don't think Islamabad would expedite our case if I was laying in a hospital dying. They are horrible! It's sad that people don't realize how people are allowed to be abused at that embassy. In fact, they encourage it. Our own embassy...just unbelievable!!

I have heard some stories about Islamabad.  It is unfair that not all embassies are the same.

We are going to play it safe. It may be 2 or 3 weeks before we get it but it is still quicker than the regular process.
