Does petitioner need to go to interview?

I'll be going with my wife when she (eventually) has her interview. But trust me, Juarez does not let anyone accompany the beneficiary to the interview. I think in very rare cases, they might call the petitioner in if they have questions, but it is very uncommon and all over the Juarez Consulate website and 'how to' videos on youtube they make it very clear that no one goes in but the beneficiary (unless they are special needs or need a translator for an indiginous language).

Also - those filing a petition for a Mexican citizen do not need a police certificate. The US doesn't consider the Mexican Police Certifiactes legitimate, and Mexico is makes the 'Countries that do not need a Police Certificate' list.

As far as him having lived illegally in the US, I have no idea what that will look like. But it will be an uphill battle. I would say it's time to lawyer-up, and be prepared to file a waiver and spend some time in Mexico. I've noticed that many of the people who post to the forum on the following site often discuss having to file a waiver in Juarez, so you might be able to find some helpful information here:

Does the petitioner get interviewed or is it just the person who they are filing for? Does it make a difference going to the interview?

Is there a form somebody can provide to see what is needed to bring to this interview for USA Citizen filing for Mexican Citizen? We plan on going together but just want to see how everyone knows what is needed besides what they send you in the mail, if there is an online site I can view?

I rent an apartment with my fiance in Mexico, should we have our landlord sign a notice that says we've been staying here since X____?

I have seen many people on here say it was very important that the co knew the petitioner was there. I have saw some reviews where they were actually asked questions.

I would recommend that you accompany your future spouse to the Consulate. The Consulate will not allow you in. Only the person with the interview is allowed in. You can wait nearby. I was glad that I accompanied my fiancée to her interview. Her interview was on September 20, 2011. Initially I wanted her cousin to accompany her to Juarez. Fortunately, I changed my mind and decided to accompany her.

The interviewer had doubts about our relationship because I am much older than her. Also, she did not get approval from her parents to marry me. He asked her many questions. She came out of the Consulate distressed. The interviewer wanted to interview me. He wanted to hear my side of the story. I did not worry because I had nothing to hide. We returned to the Consulate and went directly to his window. He asked me many questions without the presence of my fiancée. I spilled my guts. I was glad that I accompanied my fiancée. Most likely she would have needed more proof or her visa would have been denied.

The interviewer only asked for her birth certificate and my divorce decree. We took everything to prove our relationship. I would recommend you do the same thing. You could never know what the interviewer would ask for. If you do not have proof available, then your visa approval can be on hold pending evidence.

Your rental agreement is proof of your relationship. I think that would be valuable evidence. If it is not too much trouble, I would definitely get it.

Good luck.
