FIANCE AT THE INTERVIEW

[LaneAndDaisy 0]

guys im soooooooooooooooo grateful for having u around... ur responses to this post make us(fiance and I ) think the possibility of being there for each other during the interview..above other underlying reasons why he should be there is the fact that CO can see how much the petitioner supports and love the beneficiary/fiancee...this will trigger CO's attention to sign and approve, unless couple doesnt know how to answer the questions being asked or cant prove to veracity of the info stated in the form we submitted..its the least to worry because we know what we wrote there anyway and truthful answers will save the day ...now we will see how things progress from NOA2 onwards and of course availability of resources...but guys thanks so much for the posts...its a great great help to our inquisitive minds...

btw, so far- the prevailing polls show that FIANCE/PETITIONER SHOULD ATTEND

god bless.....

I can't imagine not being there - 1) after such a long wait, you want to give yourself every chance at success, and the extra expense has to be worth it. I doubt that anyone was denied because the petitioner was there but there are surely cases when the visa would have been granted if he/she had been there. 2) It will be a nerve wracking time for the beneficiary and I think you owe them every bit of support possible. Sort of like the father being there for your child's birth - is it necessary for the final outcome? NO, but it sure is evidence of support to your spouse and the doctors. And I believe the interview is about on par in terms of a life milestone as having a child. That "pink slip" (which is better than the one when you lose your job) is the gateway to major changes in your lives.

thanks kurt and dora for sharing with us ur experience and thoughts about the post..yes, i too greatly believe, that if petitioner is present during beneficiary's interview, she will feel supported and less burdened...u can feel the the difference of having him around and not having him there..even if we say the CO wont ask the petitioner anything for as long as he holds ur hand and being there physically while beneficiary is being interviewed..thats a big WOWWWWWWWWW thats really something...man, it myt sound mushy but the power of touch is powerful...it lessens the tension in and out of ur body, thus makin u feel confident that u will bring home the pink slip ...but in my practical sense of reasoning, i wont allow my fiance to come back here again after a month's visit if i know the financial status will affect our relationship or our future fiances.....i was told that the plane ticket costs like $1800 ..thats really jaw dropping amount...i am honestly, somewhere in the middle about this issue...half of me saying he must show support by comin here, and half of my sane mind also says daisy be practical...wish i knew whats better ....
