Someone told my husband I need to go with him to interview

[Lynn/Saif 1]

Now I know better but one of Siaf "friends" said he has been denied 4 times and told my husband he need me to go with him to the American embassy in Tunisia for interview

I told Saif to read all of your stories but this one "friend" has him thinking I must go there again. PLEASE add comments for Saif to see that this is not needed

Sorry Saif. Listen to your wife not a "friend". There are lots of rumours and myths about this that my husband heard as well. Also, you really have no idea WHY this person may have been denied. He could have problems or trouble you don't know about it. The US Embassy in Tunisia is great. Very supportive of American requests for our Tunisian spouses. Just be prepared. I know several people who have been approved while their spouses were still in the US including my own. Its not necessary unless the Embassy requests it.

Good luck!!

if denied for a tourist visa, 4 times - well sorry -

but

the guidelines for visa adjudication are much different for a spousal visa.

Hello,

I have a Question?? Since, I'm visiting my husband in April 2012. Would it be a good idea, if we both went to the US Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia and TRY to do anything about our I-130 Petition or his Interview. I'm expecting and Due in August 2012 and need my husband with me. Anything suggestions would help.. Thanks!!

It is always best if the American attends the interview, it can not hurt........

I've been with my Tunisian for 6 years, married for 5 years, and he's been in the US for 4 years.... and I did not go with him to the interview. It is not necessary at all. In fact of all the American women married to Tunisians that I know (and I've made friends with quite the bit bunch of "Twags" -Tunisian Wives & Girlfriends) none of them went to their husband's interview. My husband is from Jendouba and everyone seems to have something to say about everything. There is always going to be a friend that told him this or that and you just have to let him see these posts to know its not true at all. My particular favorite is a friend that said this or that and is married to someone from Germany which has a totally different process or who has never even been in a relationship with a foreigner. I hope you can convince him that while it might be nice and supportive emotionally, its not likely to make a difference in the outcome (though I suppose others may say it does make a difference). Good luck.
