I just received my interview letter and I read it really good but it doesnt say that my husband needs to come with me. Do any of you know if it is necessary for the spouse to be present?

Also, any tips for the interview?

My interview will be in Cleveland, OH in March

Thanks,

Thanks, I was just wondering it he had to be there. It is good that he doesn't need to be there.

Your spouse doesn't need to be there at the time of the interview, they will not let them in room with you anyway.

Last Thursday when I was in Kansas City waiting for my interview there was a couple sitting and waitning to be called in....and when her turn came up, they both wanted to go in. Officer asked her husband if he is her lawyer and of course he said no. Officer then asked him to sit and wait in waiting room that he has no need for him to be present at the interview.

But of course interviewers ask where your spouses are, they asked me and she was more then happy when I told her that my housband is at home with kids.
