Should I be there for the interview?

[Lena & Sasha 0]

I've seen this topic discussed elsewhere but I have a specific question: I am currently in Ukraine with my fiance and have a ticket home on March 4th. This is before we're going to be able to get our interview. (Although we have received out NOA2.) Unfortunately, changing my plane ticket will cost a whole lot of money (I just called the airline...). I'm trying to decide if I should book another trip back here... as in, go home, stay a few weeks, and come back again, so I can be here for Alex's interview. Is it worth the $800 ticket? (We are not exactly rolling in money.) He's tough and speaks very good English so I'm not that worried about moral support- but if my presence is going to make a big difference than I want to be there. As far as proving we really know each other/love each other... we lived together for 15 months in Greece and I've been here in Ukraine for 3 months with him. We've been together almost two years and have suitcases full of evidence... so if the reason I should go to the interview is to prove that, then it may not be necessary.

Anyway, maybe this is an old topic and no one has any new information, but I thought I might as well put it out there in case someone has some advice. At this point, I'm totally lost on what to do.

Thank you! I'm really so pleased about this site and how helpful everyone has been. I really wish I found it sooner!

In Kiev your presence is not required... If you want to be there for moral support then by all means..
