How Important is Fiance Attending Interview?

[JeffPerren 1]

I've been in Bogota now for a few months and we've just succeeded in reaching the stage of scheduling my Colombian's fiancee's K-1 interview. Unfortunately, it's scheduled for Jan 12 and my flight back to the U.S. has been scheduled for Jan 10, 2012 since before I arrived. To change it would cost around $600 USD. How important is it, in your view, for me to attend her interview?

I definitely want to, but we are already on the edge in terms of qualifying on financial support.

Anyone have a real sense of this, something beyond just a gut-level guess?

Thanks to all who reply.

I would call the embassy everyday and ask if they can move it because you are in town now. The worst they can say is no.

If you have to go home then go home.

My spouse is from Egypt so I will be with him because our embassy can be difficult. I am not sure about your embassy.

Good Luck

and please edit your timeline in your profile when you get a chance. thanks

My fiancé is also from Colombia and we don't have an interview date, but I will for sure be there with him when it's time. I have done some research about the same situation and from the sounds of it, it is not mandatory you be there BUT strongly reccomended if you can, we are in the same financial situation I have #### for income but my mom is co-sponsoring us. I think you should call the embassy try to have them push it back 3 days and if they don't I would just change the ticket, I know that's a lot of money but I think it's important to be there to support your fiancé, on the bright side you can celebrate the approval and if denied you will be there with her to support. Either way good luck with it all!!
