yes we did! it will be giving you high chance of pass :)

Sincerly I don't think they care if your fiancee is attending or not... You will be asked questions and also you need the visa...Just my opinion i hope i won't offend someone, somehow. Much luck to all of you !!!

AOS - PENDING

Yes. USEM does allow your fiance to attend the interview with you. I was attended with my wife, a great experience for sure.
