Hi,

I got my interview letter today. Its for Aug 25th.

It might be a little offtopic question but any information would be helpful for our planning.

The lettter says its required that both me and my spouse be present in the interview.

We are thinking if its okay to take our infant daughter also with us, since

we dont have other arrangements like day care or someone else to do babysitting.

The letter also says " You need not get the children, unless either asked .."

If its not strictly disallowed, we would rather have our daughter accompany us.

(another concern is she is a noisy kid.. :huh: )

Does anyone know if taking your child alongwith you to the interview is okay?

If not, we would start thinking on making some adjustments like daycare

immediately..

Thanks in advance..

As far as I know, a lot of couples take their kids to the interview with them. So if that`s what you want, you can do it.

I think you should start making arrangements for daycare. You say she's noisy, then you don't want her to distract you during your interview. Your better off getting a sitter for a couple of hours than ruining your interview.

The ADIT stamp, which is placed in the beneficiary's country of origin passport, acts as the EAD/AP document until the LPR card is in hand. The EAD, AP, and Visa were kept by the IO after approval... ee ii eee iii ooooo.

Had I known about that, I would have asked for it. Anyway, my I-485 status now says "Card Production Ordered", so I guess I was approved. Thank God. Just a waiting game now.
