what do you think?

Is it important to have your spouse at the interview???
Thank a lot!

I think it is a personal choice, but for me I felt that it showed my dedication and support to my husband! But like I said it is a personal decision!

Well, I used to think it wasnt necessary, UNTIL I read and read visajourney's experiencies and they really recommend to have your spouse at the interview, so I told my hubby, he has to be there, and he agrees.
So I guess it depends of each country, like Mexico for example, spouses are not allowed.

In my husband's case it was important. I arrived late (because I had to drive through a blizzard to Canada after my flight was cancelled because of the storm and being ordered off the roads the night before because of a state of emergency. . .) the CO's attitude was completely different when I got there. . . .

[sdgcas]

thank you so much!!! My interview going to be in Ukraine, so I have no idea important or not... That why i would like to hear from you .

my hubby think that is very important

I think it shows that you are committed and things are "real".Even though I was told to go sit down, the people at the US Embassy in Islamabad certainly knew I was there. I wanted to be there in case they decided to go for the fraud interview. And my husband was a nervous wreck, so for his sake as well, I am glad I was there.

At CDJ are spouses allowed at the visa appointment?

No, Spouses are NOT allowed at the visa appt. in CDJ (Juarez, Mexico).

[Cherokee]

Do they ask during the interview if the spouse is there in Juarez?

[J3NNI]

i wish they would let us go as they are there for hours and we are part of it too

[Pinkpig]

Do they ask during the interview if the spouse is there in Juarez?

I only recall that happening a couple of times and for a specific reason.

The only way that I remember a spouse getting to go in was if they were using the spouses credit card to pay the fees and the spouse had to sign the credit card receipt.

[sdgcas]

are you talking about Mexico? sorry, what is CDJ??? just not shure...

[JennyM]

cdj is mexico. I'm going with my hubby to his interview so I can meet my in laws. :)

[ictomi]

In our Embassy, I was asked if I would like to be apart of the interview because it concerned me too. I was really happy to be able to get involved, I wrote the waiver so I knew more about it then my husband did and I got to add many things my husband would never thought about.

[sdgcas]

People, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

[sdgcas]

and thank you very much again !!!

my hubby think that is very important

This was the other reason I thought it was very important, my husband was VERY nervous and felt much more comfortable with me there. . .he was able to speak much more confidently with the moral support.

My husband went with me to the Interview (but it was Poland, not Ukraine). To be honest, I would rather he would not go. It was a very difficult experience. Men aren’t as strong as women are. So, instead of trying to keep myself together I had to “support and comfort” my husband. That was very difficult for me.

I would suggest you to find out is US citizens allowed to be with their wife’s on the time of the Interview. If “yes” and your husband feels like going – God Bless. If “no” and you rather him not to go – there is your answer.

You have been so many years together- I do not think that you still have to prove that your marriage is valid by your husband coming with you.


P.S. congrats on approval of your I-130.
