getting ready for interview questions

[Patriots 3]

Me and my fiance have an interview coming up at end of the month. I am going to fly down and accompany her to the embassy. Its been a long wait at the tsc but luckly i have visited her a few times. I have some questions if any one knows the answer.

1. Will they allow me to attend interview with her?

2. What questions or documents do they ask the petioner for if they are allowed in?

Check with embassy page, but far as I know most embassies allow the petitioner to accompany.

if i decided to go with her i would be nervous too. She speaks very little english and i speak more of her language but in a very limited capacity.

Here's the best: Stay in the waiting area. Give your U.S. passport to your fiancee, and have her hand it to the consul, first thing. If you're not invited in, it will still score positive points beyond your wildest imagination. If you're invited in, your presence will relax the consul, and any questions should be very easy for you to answer.

Thanka for the heads up. Any other advice is welcome. Also i thought i saw some one mention that petitioner was not allowed in the actual interview room? Is that true?

Its confusing information becayse some people say yes they can and others say no they can not...I find it weird that dif embassies conduct business differently..

I speak enough of her langauge to get by. We have no communication problems, but if they go into really technical questions or speak to fast i will get nervous and have difficulty answering. Would it be ok to have them address us both in our primary langauges?

i was in the us embassy to do my interview, my fiance was not with me and everything was alright, and plus there are some people who dont speak english very well i heard them talk in their own language and the us officer used a translator to understand, i think ther is no need to be worry, good luck

She will be asked if she wants to speak Greek or English. Most of us choose English, because it is a plus to speak the language of the country you're moving to, but it is not a disadvantage if someone prefer to speak in their native language.

As far as I know, the embassy in Athens allows fiance to attend the interview. There were cases, where they actually asked for the fiance to be there. Worst case scenario, you won't be allowed in the interview room, but it will be a great relief for your fiancee to be there and support her. You can also do what suggested...she hands them your passport and lets it up to them to decide.
