procedure for Montreal petitioner attending interview?

[raoi0639 0]

I know the US petitioner can attend the interview in Montreal based on what others have said. On the interview confirmation, it says "Drivers, friends, extra relatives, and others not specifically named cannot be permitted to enter and will be asked to return to meet the applicant after the interview is complete". The name of the petitioner does not show up anywhere on my appointment confirmation. Just speculating but maybe they look to the NOA-2 copy for the petitioner's name? I don't have the actual NOA-2 since it was not sent to me.

Do I also need to give the consulate a heads up that I will be joined by my fiance? If so, how do I do so? Thanks!

No, they will just require their USA passport......

All you need to do is show up next to your fiance with your US passport. Say you're there with your fiance for their interview, show your passport, and that's it, you're let in. No need to give them a heads up or anything.
