Consular Interview

[hannac 37]

Hello,

 

My husband who is a USC has petitioned for me and my oldest daughter who is 11 years old. My 10 year old daughter is a USC, so I am assuming she will not need to attend the interview with us. Do you think I will need to bring her US passport with me to the interview? Also I would like to know if they would interview my 11 year old daughter and I at the same time at the embassy or will they call us up at different times. What should I expect them to say to my daughter because she is very shy and doesn't even want to go to the interview because she don't know what to expect. But I keep telling her it's nothing to be shy about. Has anyone went through this before?

You don't need to have your USC child with you. But the child your husband petitioned for is required to be with you. You will be interviewed at the same time. You will come to a  window for a quick review and will be asked to raise your hand and swear that all the info on the applications is true and correct, they will confirm addresses and etc. Back then i thought my interview started but it wasn't it yet. Then they will send you to the computers that they have there to correct  the info if smth is wrong (maybe you changed address) or if there is nothing to correct, they will ask you to take a seat and wait for your number. When your number comes on the display over the window, you will proceed to it with your child. Here you will

be sworn again. The child won't be asked any questions. Maybe if just to make you both feel relaxed. My child wasn't asked anything not even  to swear.
