This may be a dumb question but I’ll be flying in for this interview and want to know if there’s an issue with someone attending with me? I know US petitioners can enter but does the same apply if a family member comes with me? They wouldn’t be attending the actual interview part just sitting with me til I’m done. Thanks!

No they may not. They can wait outside or there is plenty of places nearby where they can go have a sit down and a coffee.
