Attending my wife's interview

[Mountain777 0]

I am not sure if I can get away from work and travel to Colombia for my wife's interview. This really concerns me because I think it is really important that I be there even though our relationship of 3 years is thoroughly documented. Can anyone share their xperiences and/or opinions about attending a spouses interview at the embassy?

Maybe I am wrong but I don't think that anyone had ever been denied the visa just on the fact that their american spouse were not there at the interview with them?

since you guys are already married, i believe it will be easier for your wife if she goes alone.

for fiancees, it is harder if they go alone.

Hi

If at all possible, I would go to the Interview with her. Check out the Carib/Latino subforum and see all the problems myself and 3 other gentleman are having in Ecuador. We are all being required to come to the Consulate for a "MATRIMONIONAL INTERVIEW " 2 of us are filing for CR-1 visas and the other 2 are K-1. In all cases the consular official did not want to see the evidence that our wives/fiances brought or proof of the relationship. They only said come back with your spouse or fiance for the joint interview even though they state on there webpage and all of us also phoned the consulate and were told we could not attent the Interview, but you can bet if we had been there or even outside the Embassy, they would have brought us in at that time to do this Interview. My advice GO TO THE INTERVIEW !

Thank you for this information. I guess I will have to make the trip to attend the interview... We have gone too far to waste time with any mistakes.

I recommend going to the interview...it makes it easier for the consulate to approve your case and your wife does not have to spend up to 2-6 hours alone waiting to be interviewed. I realize your job may be important but bringing your wife over is a bigger priority right now. Take a short vacation and celebrate getting the visa together in Bogota.
