I know it is still early to be thinking about the inverview since we just filed the 130 petition about 1 wk ago but I'm a little curious. Does the petitioner have to go to the interview at the embassy with the beneficiary? I'm doing the cr1 process btw. Someone told me both the petitioner and the beneficiary have to go, but I've been reading here and it seems like only the beneficiary has to go.

Thank you!

The petitioner is not *required* to attend the interview but if possible, I think it's recommended. Only the beneficiary is required at the interview.

Most from the bogota embassy will let you know the experience they had with and without the spouse or fiance being there.

I for one am Glad my husband went with the kids for the CR2. I ( the petioner ) could not make it .

Good luck when it does come time. And if you have time read the link I gave above

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?
