There's a difference between living in the USA but visiting the beneficiary while they go to the interview and not living in the USA. Obviously the purpose of the visa is family reunification so there can be no family reunification in the USA if the petitioner does not live there. But the OP's question was about visiting and being there at the time of the interview.

I think in the Dominican Republic it's compulsory? That's the only place I've heard about where the petitioner has to be there.

I think it's nice to be able to be there for your spouse and give support on the morning of the interview if you can.

I'm sorry please excuse my ignorance what does this mean compulsory in which since I have an upcoming interview there once I get to the NVC stage I will scheduele and now I'm worried I included no chat logs or calls....

Can someone let me know I plan to be there I hopefully will be at this interview front and center...

Any info is helpful....

Compulsory means required; however, it's not an official requirement, just a de-facto one.

Go to the DR portal and look back through pages of older posts. I know I've seen topics on this. You can also use the search tool to find them.
