Is the PETITIONER asked question during the VISA INTERVIEW?

[Woofey&Chaka 2]

My fiance is coming down to Bogotá for my visa interview and I would like to know if he will be asked questions and if so, what kind of questions we can expect from the CO.

They can ask the petitioner questions. As to what type of questions, that all depends on what she/he sees in your documents you are bringing.

If you haven't done so yet, go atop any VJ page, click "Reviews: Embassy" and "Embassy Info," and read.

Most of times, a petitioner doesn't involved at beneficiary's interview for a K-1 visa. A few of those did experience though, I read there was couple got denied because the answered did not match between the petitioner and his beneficiary. I believe she's from Cambodia.

As myself, the CO did not ask any question to my fiancé since the interview had taken place in a small room. There are some benefits if your fiancé is coming to your interview. It gives you strength, you have a company while you're waiting, and share the good news when you are approved. Also, when I told the CO that my fiancé was with me, he stopped give me questions and after that I got approved. He then asked me to get my fiancé, bring him inside, and congratulated us for the visa approval.

In Bogota, no. The interview takes place inside embassy grounds, but outside. You walk up to a sealed window in which the CO sits on the other side, and you have to pick up a phone to talk to the CO. Your fiancé can stand next to you, but he won't be able to know any of the questions the CO will ask you, just your responses to the questions. There are actually 2 windows you go to: the first one you hand all your stuff in to the Colombian consul, and then you have a long wait until they call your name. The second window is where you have your actual interview with the American consul. Be prepared because it is all outside still and it does get a bit cool there.

Thank you. It's gonna be my 4th time at the Bogotá embassy. It can be very cold. Well, I thought he would be asked questions

I'm tired of the DENY verb. It seems anything you post seems to be a reason for someone to tell you you will get a denial.
