Can your spouse (petitioner) accompany you to the interview especially in Pakistan? I heard some people say yes and others say no?

dont let ur spouse come to pakistan fo rinterview bcz they 99 percent put ppl on AP and it takes time to get ur passport back hvng stamp on it.

i can suggest u bzcuz they put me on AP but i can be ur luck if they approve u on that day.

gudluck

I was also in the same predicament at the time, But I opted not to go because there really is no need. If they dont ask you to be pressent there is no reason to be present. Unless you as an individual think it is imparative to be at the interview to possibly clear up some sort of complication or confusion with your case. Its really up to you! but in short to say CAN YOU BE AT THE INTERVIEW? the answer is YES.... but should you be there? I heard of a few horror stories of people who accompanied there spouce/fiance and they were put in AP. I did not go because my case was pretty simple and strait forward.

Couldn't agree more with sn530, and also they will do most of the questioning to the USC spouse and less to the applicant. However, it's still not all that bad and luck plays a major role as well. Good luck.

Well at first my husband was going to go on his own but now a change of plans is making me go to Pakistan so I was just wondering since I am going and looking at a possible interview during my stay, if going with him was ok. But ill definatly think about it now.

Thanks

Best thing you can do is review previously asked interview questions. You will be surprised how often peopke will miss undrstand or not know the answer to a question. Specially under this sort of stress... practcally an interview that determins were your life ends up at. Review question come up with questions your husband can be asked thats the best thing to do... when my wife went i had grilled her on questions and before she went told her just to smile and take your good attitude with you. Result was 4 basic general questions and she was confused when she left if it was approved or not. Week later phone call came to pickup passport. So practice questions be honest smile and keep a positive attitude.
