My question considers that my petitioner goes with me on the day of my visa  k1 interview???🤔

It is very beneficial, imo, for the applicant to say "My spouse/fiance is outside waiting for me .  Here is his/her passport"...

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

I had the same question. They will not let you inside the embassy at Juarez. In our case we've decided that I will not attend the interview as we have had a lot of of time together between our NOA1 and interview date and this time of year happens to be our busiest at work so it would be really hard for me to take that much time off a that time.

Tenía la misma pregunta. No te dejarán entrar a la embajada de Juárez. En nuestro caso, hemos decidido que no asistiré a la entrevista, ya que hemos pasado mucho tiempo juntos entre nuestro NOA1 y la fecha de la entrevista y esta época del año es la más ocupada en el trabajo, por lo que sería muy difícil para mí tomar tanto tiempo libre ese tiempo. 

you are very right.

when is your interview I have for October 17?

They will most definitely have to wait outside and to the side of the consulate. They will ask you if he or she is here. Just answer

"Here in Juarez or Outside the Consulate" They wont let them inside unless specifically ask for, in some very rare cases they do. Best of luck! All will be fine!
