Bringing our K-2 child to the K-1 AOS interview?

[uapilot 70]

My wife (K-1) has her interview scheduled for Nov. 30. Her daughter (K-2, 5yo) does not yet have her interview scheduled, but it would be at the same FO. Her application is about 2 weeks behind her mother's due to it getting separated at the Lockbox.

 

Can her daughter come to the interview with us? The instructions clearly say that she cannot (since my wife's application is marriage based, I can and must come as well; nothing else in the list specifies that her daughter can since this isn't the daughter's interview).

 

I ask this question partially because of babysitting. But also because I'm wondering if the interview works similar to how the biometrics work, in that you can do both interviews on the same day. If, for instance, her daughter also gets her interview scheduled for a different day, can she comes with us on Nov 30 and we do both on the same day?

Walk in I-485 interviews were a thing back in the 1980s.  
 

These days I’ve never heard of them.  
 

Seems high risk to being a child as old as 5 with you to the interview. 
 

Is there someone you know well enough to ride with you to the interview and wait in the car with your child while you have the I-485 interview?
 

This way, if a miracles happen and your child is granted an interview on the spot, it can happen. And if not, you have someone who can watch your child.
