Medical and Interview with a kid in tow...

[Chickaflick 0]

We are a K1/K2 case. I will be bringing my daughter with me to my interview in Vancouver. She is 6. Have others brought their children with them as well? I know that bringing them to the interview is not mandatory but I am not fortunate enough to have someone to keep her over a day or two while I fly to Vancouver for the Interview. I'm secretly hoping we will be lucky enough to get interview and medical dates close together so we only have to make one trip. Just wondering how the interview goes with a kiddo in tow.

TIA

Normally the consultate/embassy makes it quite easy to complete the medical and interview in the same trip (often the same day), and are especially congnicent of this when you are from out of town/province. The forms you fill out when you get your packet 3 will ask you about the children for the K-2s and whether they are accompanying you to the interview. As this question makes it seem like it is optional, I suppose it is..

However, I would bring the little one along with you anyway. Just in case...

If you check out the sample DS-230 there is a spot for information on accompaying children. And if you checkout the checklist for packet 3 packet 3 vancouver it asks about accompanying children.
