Accompanying to Interview

[AKK123 0]

Hi,

 

I am not the petitioner and would like to accompany my mother to her interview at the Mumbai US consulate. My mother is 59 years old. Also, I am an Indian citizen.

Will I be allowed inside the US consulate as I would like to push my mother's wheelchair?

Will there be wheelchairs at the Mumbai US consulate?

 

Thanks in advance!

You will need to consult with your local consulate and have them list you as an attendee, or will not be permitted access... seek local website

@SusieQQQ, Thanks for the response. 

I have seen this response on the website but it does not define what the US consulate considers as elderly (is it 55+ or 60+ years age?)

You said she’s in a wheelchair, that qualifies as disabled.
