My wife will interview at either Bogota or Panama US embassy

[Tradewind 6]

My question is this. Should I be there when she interviews? I would rather not go to the extra expense in traveling there as I will probably be in the USA at interview time. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

You should check the reviews for the consulate she'll interview at and see if other people have taken their partners.

Here's Panama's, for example:

In some (not many) countries it is vital that both be there, although technically it shouldn't be due to the nature of these applications.

If you wife is a Colombian Citizen it will be in Bogota .

As lost_at_sea say Read and you should find .

I did when to BOGOTA w. my wife and we had a Problem w. no having all documents as my wife left her Medical in the Taxi and i could find that Taxi driver after looking for a Good 5 hrs at the airport .

We show at the Embasy Together did the Process and she was ask 2 times if i was there and I show my Face to the Consular Officer .

Then they rechedule and explaiin the reason of return as main reason for not approval that day we schedule another appoitment and she arrive 4 days later by her self they remember her and ask about me she say he needed to go back to work in the USA .

Visa approved

Good Luck
