Hi Every one,

I 'm in need of small help. Please help me. My husband is an Indian born American citizen. Could you please let me know that, can he accompany me to the interview(i mean can we both go inside the US consulate and give the interview). If so, should we take any appointment for him separately and should we take any documents with us. Consider that, my interview date is 5 June 2015 at Bombay.

Thanks,

Anusha R

U.S. Consulate in Mumbai doesn't allow US citizen spouse to enter the consulate with you. Make sure to carry photo album, affadivait of support along with financial evidences, evidences that are submitted with 130, police clearance, medical report, birth certificate, confirmation page, marriage certificate, passport photos, etc. make sure to bring original if you already submitted copies to the nvc. Practice answering questions. That's all. Hope this helps.

My wife had her interview at Mumbai consulate and i flew down from U.S even though i knew much beforehand i will not be let inside. My arrival and being next to her before she went in did calm her down and the interviewer asked her about me and in fact he was impressed that i flew down to Mumbai just for her interview. That sealed the VISA approval.

So they do give value/brownie points when they hear that the spouse is standing right outside the consulate and they came down just for this.

Goodluck.
