Hello,

I had my K1 interview in Frankfurt. It is really quick and it's basically done by a clerk through a window.

To be honest, I don't really see the point of bringing my spouse to something like that.

I want to emphasise that mine was the K1, maybe your is different but chances are that it is exactly the same format.

I have no personal experience, but I've read reports about people wo did DCF bringing their American spouses to the interview.  No problem.  Still it's best to ask the consulate directly.  I emailed them a few times, and they always replied within a few days.

Luckily, you've never been involved in an "interview"/verbal assault at the Islamabad Embassy. I envy you!

They get away with taking people into a little closed room with no recording and scream, yell, threaten, and insult them until the give in and either give up or write a coerced false confession. They have even threatened people with hanging. They get away with it because people are afraid to write formal complaints. The sad part is that the US Embassy hires locals to do the dirty work.

Yes, my husband ended up writing a dictated coerced confession saying he was still married. He actually took what all they said as a threat to his family and kids. They told him he would never see the US. They said it as a threat, along with a lot of horrible stuff, calling him a liar, telling him he was a bad Muslim, that he was still married in the eyes of the Koran, making fun of me, saying that we paid someone to write our papers, shouting prayers in his face. All this is done while screaming in his face. His divorce papers were laying right there in the room, but he was so scared that he caved and wrote what they told him to write. It was planned...they had the paper laying there ready, no witnesses, no recording in a small closed door room. My husband is a very quiet, mild guy. I have never even heard him raise his voice. They used shame to terrorize him, as well as threatening and getting in his face. He wrote the paper to escape. Now he has all kinds of stress related health issues, but thank God, he is out of Pakistan and working in Dubai as a hotel manager. It's unreal that the US Embassy allows this, which goes against everything in their rules of being respectful during interviews. You have to realize that he lives in a police state. They can easily make you disappear, especially since they know all about you from the paperwork you file. We filed a formal complaint, but they do nothing. But we won't ever give up. He went to the high court with his ex and kids and neighbors and they all testified that he has been divorced for years. USCIS said too bad, you wrote that paper, Goodbye. We have refiled and won't stop.
