f1 Petitioner with me the time of interview

[Travellerlove 6]

Hello everyone, another question i have. Before the schedule of my interview, is it okay if my petitioner will come here in my country so that we could travel to the states together? Mother is a US citizen. Thanks for the help.

 

(Dear admins, please delete my other questions, i already got answers. Thanks!)

Hi my mother a us citizen is my petitioner. Can she be here at the time of my interview? Will she be allowed inside the us embassy? She just wanna be with me when i travel to the states. Will it be a problem if the petitioner under f1 is here by that time? Thanks!

Your mother can certainly travel to be with you when you have your interview assuming she has valid travel authorization to the country (I assume she does).  Whether she can accompany you into the consulate is dependent on the consulate.  If your consulate allows it, I believe you email the consulate with her name so security has it and will let her in.

 

Good Luck!

 

P.S. Don’t make any travel plans to the States until you actually have your passport back with the visa affixed.  If approved at the interview, you could be put in administrative processing for an undetermined amount of time.

Thank you. She is a us citizen and travels back and forth 2x a year. Some people told me its best if my mother is in the states at the time of my interview and that i should bring proof of domicile (which i have) and such... But some people here (esp under k1 visa) they had their petitioners(fiance) with them and they had no problem. So i was wondering if people who had their parents as petitioner, come home before and during the time of interview. Yes i will need to wait for my visa and passport before i purchase ticket, sell car etc 😁

Family based visas and K1s based on marriage or potential marriage are different than a parent petitioning for a child.  Of course you already have an established immediate family relationship whereas marriage based visas and K1s have to show a bonafide relationship based on marriage.  That being said, I don’t think it matters if your mother is with you or back in the States.  If you want her there for emotional support, I don’t think it would matter.

 

Good Luck!
