injterview question

When my wife's AOS interfiew finally comes for a CR1 Visa will we both be required to be there or is it just her being interviewed. I intend to be there anyways but am wondering if I will be interviewed as well.

Thanks,

Wayner

She is required to go. You don't have to go, but people who have gone with their spouses have been usefule.

Which interview exactly is it? Your profile says K3, but you are posting in the CR1 forum, but you are talking about AOS.

For the K3 or CR1 interview, the beneficiary only needs to be present, though sometimes (rarely) they will ask for a second interview with the petitioner also present. Usually only in high fraud countries or if there are a lot of red flags.

With the AOS interview, they do sometimes want to interview both parties.

Your post makes no sense. There's no AOS for a CR-1 visa holder. Are you talking about an AOS interview or a CR-1 visa interview? Or a K-3 visa interview, since your profile says you applied for a K-3?

Anyway, if it's an AOS interview (in the US, by the USCIS), you're both required to be there.

If it's a visa interview (in a foreign country at a department of state consulate), you're not required to be there. But in Colombia, your presence will probably be helpful.

At our own CR-1 interview in Caracas, we were both present. They didn't separate us at any time. They asked a few questions specifically to the alien, and maybe a question or two about the affidavit of support to the USC. But several of the questions were just thrown out to whomever would answer (things like, "when were you married"). I think that mostly, they wanted to see the two of us together and interacting. Because we were there together, they could tell we shared the ability to communicate in a common language, and they knew that the USC cared enough to show up on short notice. Our interview was entirely in Spanish, because that was the shared language that we were most comfortable in.

Sorry for any confusion as I am not a professional in this matter. I only want my wife here the quickest LEGAL way and don't ever intend to go through this process again. I'm sure most here feel similar to me.

I have seen people mentioning the interview for CR1 as AOS many times in this section as well as the K3 section. I'm sure I am not the only one who lists one thing under my profile but may go another rout. I posted this in the CR1 section so it means to me I am asking about the CR1 interview which I thought was called an AOS. Thanks for the clarification to help me, and posably others understand.
