So do to my work load I'm kind of caught between going to my fiance's interview in Costa Rica or going to pick her up and flying back to the States together... Don't think I can do both. Any advice since I've heard the embassy in Costa Rica shouldn't be a problem? And I've known beneficiaries doing the interview on their own without any issues? Anyone have any experience with this particular embassy?

I posted a question as such a few months ago, the concesus was to go for the interview. I am absolutely thankful for that advice.

So go to the interview and then fly back with your SO.

PS: Don't underestimate the consular stage and the effect of your presence.

Thank you. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to stay more than 2 days. And I don't think she'd be able to fly here that soon.... She has an appointment tomorrow at the consulate. I'll make sure she explains the situation and see what they recommend.

She can fly by herself.
