Urgent Question about whether U.S. Citizen Spouse can attend interview with CR1 Beneficiary in ISLAMABAD

[millenniums 5]

Hello all, 

 

I recently a read a review from the Islamabad embassy for an interview that occurred five days ago where the U.S. Spouse was not allowed into the diplomatic enclave with the beneficiary. 

 

Can anyone with RECENT experience confirm or deny this? 

 

Thank you in advance! JAK!

It appears that the spouse cannot attend. 
 

Good Luck!

Yes . They don’t allow anyone even your U.s spouse . On my interview day i heard that they charged money From someone to let him enter with his wife

US citizen spouse can attend, its upto VO to allow during interview. Attended interview with wife last September, no problem. Unless the policy was updated since.
