I have a quick question.

My Mother has an interview in August for her green card. I petitioned her for the I-130.

Can I "US Citizen" attend the interview with her?

Last year she applied for a visitors visa and I was not allowed to go into the embassy with her.

Any help would be appreciated as I am making travel arrangements.

Thanks

Lina

Petitioners can go to the consulate with the applicant. You can attend the interview

This is a consulate specific question. Not all consulates allow the USC to attend the interview. What consulate will the interview take place in?

Good luck
