My wife and stepson's double interview

[harry1 0]

They will have interview on the same day next week. Will they be interviewed together or separately? If separately, any specific questions my stepson needs to prepare for?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

Generally they will both stand at the window together, but Officer can and sometimes does ask pointed question to the children. My stepson was asked very basic questions, who is your visa sponser? My stepdad. What is his name? xxxx xxxxxx

How old is he? ancient(he actually said this which made officer laugh).

etc etc

I would have stepson prepared to answer some basic questions about you.

Your name

Address

Age

What you do for work

How many times you have been to China

Any shared interests

Mostly your wife will take the brunt of the questions though, she is the one that really needs to be prepared.

The other issue you need to be prepared for is mother son relationship, is it legit.

Best to make a photo album of pictures of your wife and stepson together from birth through present. Also have the notarized letter from the father giving permission for son to travel to America. These 2 items can help you avoid the dreaded DNA testing that sometimes GUZ will throw at people, adding a 2 month delay in getting Visa.

Thank you! I'll let them know.

They do have those notarized documents of mother-son relationship.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
