Hi everyone, my husband just got his notice for his Biometrics appointment, and of course, it's on the one day of the week that we don't have childcare for my son. :) Do you think it would be a huge problem if he brought him to the appointment? If I understand correctly, it's just a quick photo and some fingerprints. We can get a sitter if we absolutely need to since we absolutely don't want to reschedule, but it would be a pain!

Our Timeline:

April 2003: We "met" online through a mutual friend.

March/April 2004: He visited me in California and we hit it off, but didn't want to do a long-distance relationship.

July 7, 2009: We got back in touch with each other.

April 15, 2010: My previous relationship ended and we decided that he would come visit me again and see where things went.

May 25 2010: We saw each other again for the first time in six years!

June 23, 2010: We decided to try a relationship.

November 8, 2010: We got engaged!

January 3, 2011: I began to assemble the I-129F packet

March 14, 2011: Mailed out the I-129F packet

March 16, 2011: NOA-1

May 31, 2011: NOA-2

June 13, 2011: NVC received our approved I-129F

June 15, 2011: NVC approved the I-129F and sent it to London

July 1, 2011: He mailed the completed Packet 3 in

July 15: His medical exam

July 29: We called the consulate and got his interview date

September 6: His interview - approved!

September 25: He entered the U.S. with his visa

November 18: WE GOT MARRIED!

It's no problem. If you are both there you can stay with the child in the waiting area. If he is going alone with the child make sure he brings a stroller or carrier if the child is little.

I am dealing with the same problem now.How did you solve it?

I have a 4 years old daughter and the office is almost hour and half of drive from my town so I can't risk a walk in and I would have to find someone to watch ehr for at least 4 hours.

I think she would be fine there.Reading a book or something,but what if they will have a problem with it?

There's nothing to solve - you can bring your child to your biometrics appointment.

Good, I am glad.

We took her for our AOS interview and didn't even think about it twice.I think she was/is the biggest proof of our relationship anyway :)

She's proof your wife had sex. She's not "the biggest" proof of your relationship she's just one part of your relationship. This is a common misconception. Had you just taken the child in you wouldn't have been approved. I'm not trying to be rude just dispelling the myth that having a kid means you'll be approved no problem or that they're a BIG proof of relationship.

Oh sure! That is not how I meant it.More like a funny comment.More about how it's OK to bring her to the interview.

Anyway I did AOS 2 years ago,now I am dealing with going from the conditional GC to 10 years GC.

Sure we had all the other documents and proofs :)

AND I am the wife :D
