Interviews

[kcnca 1]

Is it required for the petitioner to be also be at the beneficiary's interview? or is the interview for both?

Thanks

No the interview is for the beneficiary only now from personal experiences and a lot of reading in VJ is better if the petitioner is there. I have heard they go easier and it shows you care..

Depends on the embassy/consulate. In most countries, no. In Ecuador, yes. Where will you or your fiance be interviewing?

The OP's timeline says Colombia. From what I've gathered through reading various threads, it's highly advisable for the petitioner to be there when the beneficiary goes for the interview.

Yes Colombia is her home and Thanks it does make sense to be there, my main issue is just the traveling expense it is difficult for me these days and seems to be getting tougher to do much of anything hopefully lord willing things will be better and I can be there when it happens

Thanks again.

Colombia? Absolutely recommend being there.. If you read the Counsulate reviews, often times, denials occur if the Petitioner is not there.. There are no specified reasons why those denials actually happen, but many reviews state that they saw many beneficiarys denied that did not have thier significant others with them...

I know what you mean about the costs, but you simply need to plan for it and consider fact that she'll need to do the Lab, Medical and so on, a couple of days before the Interview itself, so expect to arrive about 3-4 days before the interview...

Thanks Kennym I figured that it is better to be there, now just have to figure out how to make it happen.

This subject is always controversial, but I have seen several visas approved where only the beneficiary attends the interview. I attended alone the interview and I got approval. Also I've seen that when the petitioner go with the beneficiary they have more issues or delays in the approval.

in the last two weeks at least 3 people got approval and went alone to the interview (Colombian Embassy)

The most important thing, if you go with your fiancee or not, is to have all documents requested by the embassy
