Montreal Interview

[CdnMN 0]

Not sure how this will work and haven't been able to find an answer online.

My son is 12 and just got his I-130 approved. When the time comes for his interview, who can attend? Does anyone know if they will allow both parents to go in? My ex was asking about this and I'm really not sure. I read somewhere that only one other person was allowed into the waiting room with the applicant. Do they make excepions for children?

I would think that, if possible, it would be good for both parents to be there in order to avoid any question of custody etc.

Is this something I should call DOS about for clarification and would they even know? Is it up to Montreal?

Thanks

I have read here that my fiance can attend the interview with me, but they don't won't to hear from him just me. I hope that this will help.

Well that might be true in some consulates, but in Montreal it is not at all unusual for the CO to chat with both the beneficiary and the petitioner.

As for having your child's Mother attend, I'm not really sure, I haven't seen this question before. It's generally only the beneficiary and 1 U.S. citizen, but they may let her in.

That was my understanding. I may need to call DOS...for a start and see what happens from there.

My ex is just having problems understanding this whole immigration process. If she can't attend, I doubt it will cause everything to fall apart...but it may make things a bit more difficult. She was already put off because the only way for my son to come here is as a permanent resident.

Oh well
