Hi,

I started a poll to get everyone's opinion on weather or not your spouse should accompany the beneficiary to the CR1/I130 visa interview in Montreal, Canada. The flight cost is substantially high right now and am wondering if it is worth both of us going or if it will be just as effective if I went myself (the beneficiary).

This probably should be in the Canada Forum.

We had a difficult case. We has a waiver packet ready to go and expected a denial. Because of this, having my husband there was necessary to answer the difficult questions and for moral support.

however, if you have a simple case and you feel comfortable doing the interview alone (many beneficiaries have) then having your spouse there is not essential

Good luck.
