Hello everyone,

 

       Hopefully someone can help us with a bit of dilemma before my wife's CR1 interview. Reading a few posts here, it looks like I, the petitioner can go in with my wife to her interview and that USEM allows it. My question is should or can I bring the baby with us? I've read and have been told multiple times that it will help to bring the baby with us. Now I'm left wondering.

- will they even allow my 3 month old daughter into the interview? 

- If we bring the baby with us. An idea of bring my mother in law with us to help out while waiting. Would she be allowed in? or does she sit outside the embassy.

 

 

Daughter is awaiting CRBA interview already scheduled. 

 

25Jan - CRBA interview

13Feb - CR1 interview

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas or input.

Don't worry about the child, they have about 100 people who stand just outside the US Embassy entrance who can assist you.

 

For a small fee they offer services like Bullpen rental, They will hold your electronics, they will watch your child, etc all for a small fee.

 

The issue is will your items or them still be there when you get finish with your interview.

Just when you think you have TDS eradicate,  a new case shows up.

Bullpen :lol:. I feel sorry for anyone who wind up opting for those services as a last resort. I doubt they'd leave their kids but I bet some of those guys have made quite a bit of cash running off with some of those phones/ electronics.

No doubt they have made a some cash. Right from US Embassy to the Pawn Shop.

 

If you are a US Citizen then they will hold your electronics or let you store them in a locker on USEM grounds,  Philippines Citizens don't have that option.

Yes to the child attending if you want.  Yest to you attending if you want.   NO to the mother-in-law.

 

Do remember to bring your CRBA certificate to the interview.
