Petitioner present at cosulate interview!

[David86 0]

Is it necessary for the petitioner to be present at the day of the interview? For K1 Visa, or are we getting interviewed when my fiancee arrives to the USA? I have read some other links stating petitioner weren't needed at interview??

Depends on the instructions/requirements of the interviewing embassy/consulate. Some foreign posts require attendance, some don't. Some allow attendance, some don't. The K-1 visa interview will be at the interviewing embassy/consulate, the visa approval/issuance often depends on it. At the very least, the moral support provided by the presence of the petitioner for your fiancé(e) is likely priceless.

Good luck.

no you won't get interview at the POE.if you look at the us consulate usembassy in Dominican republic if says yes the fiancé can be at the interview with you.you can go alone or with your fiance'e for support he may be ask some questions also, if the co see him I think I will be better for you ,again it' up to you.

In some embassy/consulate is not a requirement but is highly recommended to asist together. In my case, the date of my k1 visa interview I went with my now hubby. I met other girl applying for a k1 visa also, she went alone and her interview was wayyyy longer and hard compare to mine (in Caracas embassy the interview is performe in a open booth so EVERYBODY around can hear it) her interview last at least 30 min. When it was my turn I went with my then fiance and she asked 3 or 4 question and 2 questions to him and that was it! We were approved . The other girl was approved too but our interviews were different. Im nit saying that going together will grant her, her visa but I thinks thats an extra plus for both of you

From what I've read about Santo Domingo, it's crucial for you, the petitioner, to attend. It won't eliminate all risk, but it will certainly help your chances. Good move to resolve to be there.

I was thinking the same thing but everyone ekeeps telling me to go when i get my CITA even though its going to interfere with work !! i guess its best to go than for them to give you a CITA abierta - which basically means they will delay until you decide to go !
