should the USC go with fiance/fiancee to interview

[RubeeRed 0]

Hi,

This is the first time I am posting anything so forgive me if this has already been asked before. My fiance will have his interview at the end of April in the US Embassy in Manila. I know that to petition for your fiance/fiancee that there is a required 2yrs of having met prior to when you decide to petition. We sent out papers beginning of 2008. The last time I saw my fiance was 2006. I haven't been able to visit him in the philippines for almost 3yrs because I am a full time student. Would they question my fiance why I havent visited him this whole time and perhaps see our relationship as not genuine? Would my going to the Philippines when he has his interview be of any benefit since it has been almost 3yrs since I have seen him? Money and free time for me are major reasons why I haven't had a chance to visit him.

We talk to each other as much as we can thru MSN and Skype, almost everyday in fact.

If anyone could please give me any feedback about this, it would be of great help.

The first requirement is the meeting of you and your fiancee within 2 years.You said the last time you seen her was 3 years ago..that alone didnt meet the requirement so you need to go back and meet her.

No, they have already been approved. The requirement is that you have met in person within 2 years of filing. Not sure why your interview took a year and 4 months after you filed your petition to be scheduled.

To answer the original question, it would be a very good idea to be at the interview with your fiance. Especially since you have not visited in so long.

Ummm if you reread what i wrote...i said that the last time i saw my fiance was 2006. I filed my petition 2008...so i of course met him (not her as you wrote) or else i would not have been approved and have set his interview date.

It actually did not take us 1yr 4months to schedule the interview but for the entire process. It took us awhile because we were stuck at Vermont Service Center for a little bit. It is only recently that it finally got sent to NVC and now to the US Embassy.

Yeah I am leaning towards to having to go, I just now have to figure what to do with school. Thank you though for your feedback.

Yes, I meant for the entire process. That's a very long time (I'm sure you know that better than me). I think it would be very important in this instance to go to the interview if you can. It is very good evidence of a legitimate ongoing relationship.

I have decided to go to my fiancee's interview (hopefully in May). I just don't want to take any chances and I don't think anyone regrets going but you may regret not going.

Best of luck to you.

I went to the interview with my wife. To me its a good idea. It shows that there is a large commitment. It is more important to go if there is a large age gap because of "marriage of convenience" issues. Either way it is a good idea. The only setback it can cause is if you really dont know your fiance or spouse and when they question you, there are inconsistancies or you say the wrong things then going there can work against you not for you. Our interview lasted under five minutes I was only asked one thing. But it was soo fun to see inside the embassy and the processes of what everyone goes through. Also, you will be able to escort your wife back to USA for which be a scary ordeal, so that will ease things alittle. Good luck to you

If you can go with your fiancee then yes of course go. It is a very good benefit, especially in case of K-1. Shows you are serious and supportive.

what are you saying?...they have NOA2 in hand, meaning they did meet such requirements...read carefully

Escorting your fiancee on her interview does not assure you of an approval. In fact, the CO can opt not to have you around in the room when she gets interviewed. Hope this helps.
