Hi All,

I have a couple of questions. Please advice:

(1) Is it a good idea to contact consulate via Email a few days before the interview to ask them if all the documents that they received from NVC are OK & if there is any additional specific documents that they think I should bring to the inteview?

(2) Are US citizens allowed to go in the consulate with the Spouse at time of interview? Is it even a good idea to go in if allowed?

Thanks & Best Regards.

Hi All,

I have a couple of questions. Please advice:

(1) Is it a good idea to contact consulate via Email a few days before the interview to ask them if all the documents that they received from NVC are OK & if there is any additional specific documents that they think I should bring to the inteview? You may contact, and they should reply with the standard checklist.

(2) Are US citizens allowed to go in the consulate with the Spouse at time of interview? Is it even a good idea to go in if allowed? Some consulate allows, so you can check with them. In my case, they don't allow. But I will lit in the lounge.

Thanks & Best Regards.
