I'd like to be there for my fiancée's interview, whenever that may be (still waiting for an NOA2 at this point). Is that something I can do? I'm totally clueless about this - would I be allowed into the consulate but not into the interview, or would I have to just wait outside the building until the interview is over? Thanks for any help anyone can provide! :)

I just returned from Italy and attended my wives interview. I was told not to talk but was able to stand with her for moral support. I think it depends on consolute but i would think the UK would let you attend.

Yes, you can attend the interview with your fiance. When you file the Form of Readiness it'll ask if there will be anyone attending and just make sure to fill that part out with your information.

I hope you get your approval notice soon! Best of luck!

I attended the London interview with my fiancé. It was fun to go with him, but it isn't at all necessary for the fiancé to be there. I didn't even bother to go back to the second window where the interviewer is, but I could have.
