Greetings All....

I will be getting my tax return back in a couple of weeks. I was planning to use the money to buy her plane ticket and the wedding. However, I'm toying with the idea of making another trip there. Then I started thinking about if I do that, maybe I should take a trip there for the interview. So I guess my question is, will it help for me to be there for the interview? Of course it would help emotionally, but does it make a difference to the consul? I would imagine that a second trip there could only strengthen our case for the interview....

Thanx for any replies, Chad

Chad, Being there for the interview kind of proves the relationship part of the interview. I have not seen any statistics stating whether approvals with/without the petitioner present has made a difference. I am sure your fiancee' would appreciate the support at the interview as well as flying back to Cajun land. Ken

I can't say for the Philipines but in Brazil they let the USC go into the room and be interviewed as well. :thumbs:

I wanted very much to go to Brazil last Christmas to be with my fiance (like I was the last 2 years) but we decided it is better for me to go to the interview instead.

Now I'm so happy I made that decision. It'll be great moral support him, as well as show the consular how real we are.

And...I get to spend 10 days in Rio de Janeiro and then bring my fiance home!!

I know Yazi would have liked it if I could have been there. It may not have any effect on the outcome, but even just having you there for emotional support will mean alot to her.
