Hi!

The interview is for the beneficiary. The petitioner can come along and lend support, but it's not needed.

In some countries it is highly suggested that the USA citizen attend the interview, that is not the case in Canada! Mine didn't attend, like many others, and was not a problem!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

When did they start playing a video in the waiting room? That must be a fairly new thing!

My husband came to the interview for me, mostly for support. I would have been terribly nervous if he wasn't there to be the voice of reason. I also felt like the CO was more interested in what he had to say than me. Even though the interview is for the beneficiary, she definitely asked him more questions, which took a lot of the pressure off.

But like the others said, the petitioner attending is definitely not mandatory.

I went alone, and the man that interviewed me asked me why Chris couldn't attend and that was it, the rest of the questions (which were very few) were all about me!

I went with my husband, they asked both of us questions, but as others have said it's not necessary to bring the USC. David came with me for moral support and i would have been a nervous wreck without him :)
