My husband and I just got an interview date for K3. We didn't think it would even go as far as receiving an interview date due to some interesting post and comments I received and read on VJ.com.....my question is, as the petitioner, do I have to be present at my husband interview? It next week and last minute fare prices are no joke! Please help . Thank you

It's not a requirement, but it seems to help in many cases. You can look at what other people from Ghana have done, or read reviews in the country portal to see if it's really important for that consulate.

May 2: I-751 received

May ??? NOA1

May 12: Check cashed

Congratulations on your interview date. I'm not sure how much notice I'm going to receive before hand so I most likely wont be attending if I don't get at least 6-8 weeks notice prior to date. My job won't let me take off work otherwise but for K1, petitioner attending interview is not mandatory. Did you fill out your DS-160 yet? They just emailed us our notice that they mailed a notice for us to receive to gain access to pick up our packet next wednesday. I'm not sure what this DS-160 thing is still and when to fill it out.
