I feel like I've seen discussion on this, and maybe the answer varies bases on your office, but is there a general consensus?

Husband's N-400 interview has been scheduled for a Saturday (weird!), which would make it easy for me to stay home with our daughter while he goes, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be there with him for the interview.

I'm the USC petitioner.

Hi! I just finished my interview 2hrs ago. My husband accompanied me in the office but he didn't join me in the interview room. The officer didn't asked for him to join as well. I was called 10:15am and got out 10:30am :)

It's not needed, but I would recommend it, I do understand your situation though, thank God the kids will be at school by the time I will be having mine next week and I asked my husband to take that day off, just in case :), can you get someone to keep an eye on your kid?

It's not necessary, I didn't go with my husband (as I had to work) and it was no problem whatsoever. There is no reason you would have to go with him as even if you did, they don't let you in the room. It is absolutely not required or even recommended that you accompany him. They're only interested in talking to him, not you.

Just make sure he brings all documentation with him! They asked us for stuff that wasn't on our checklist (as you may have seen from my previous posts). Bring along all commingled finance statements, leases, etc. over the last 3 years.
