Poll Question RE: INTERVIEWS....

[OBX 51]

My husband attended my interview with me in Montreal. We were approved. They did not ask to see any of our evidence. The only question they asked him directly was whether or not he was still employed by the same company. Interview took no more than 10 minutes.

I would agree that it is case and consulate specific.

Hello,

I (USC) am trying to decide if I should attend the interview with my wife to get her CR-1 Visa..

Wanted to get some polling data and results of the USC regarding attending the Interview:

1) Did the USC attend the interview? Y/N

2) Result of the interview? Pass/Fail

3) Location of interview?

Think it would be interesting to crunch these numbers and see if it really matters if the USC attends..

Thanks to all for your participation!!

I could not attend the interview, but my dad (also a USC) was able to attend (he kinda muscled his way through the whole process). It was for my husband and daughter. My husband was approved off the bat, but due to some technical problems with my daughter, they initially wanted to put her under AP. My dad was able to sort things out and they got the paperwork done ASAP. He was able to ask for help from American Citizen Services (and I know that they usually don't help out in these cases) and my daughter got her approval on that day too.

I agree that the presence of the USC is consulate-specific (depending on the trend of approvals vs. APs/Denials with or without the petitioner). But having your USC spouse or some kind of USC support would provide a morale boost and their presence would convince the consul of their genuine support (more points for "bonafide relationship"). Good luck!
