hello, my forgein finace hasn'e been assigned an interview yet, but I was just wondering about something. I've been reading the forums and have noticed that the USC can go with the forgein fiance to the interview. Is this true? I read a review that another member wrote about their experience at the embassy in Panama and from what I understood she was there at the interview with her fiance. Any input on this? Any panamanians out there who have been through this process and give me some advice? thanks!

It appears to depend on the consulate. The US Embassy and Consulate Info section of this site has a field for each consulate to answer this question. The Panama page doesn't display an answer, but you may have answered it in your post. :)

I know for the Dominican Republic, if you don't go to the interview with your beneficiary (unless there are extenuating circumstances that they know about ahead of time), you're probably going to get denied. You should probably call the consulate in Panama and ask them. Or if you have the money and you want to go, you should go. It might make it easier on your SO. I feel like it's best anyway, whether it's required or not. I don't want my husband to go through the interview alone. I'd rather be there with him so as soon as it's over and we have his visa in our hands we can give each other a big hug and kiss and celebrate together in person after such a long haul.

I already e-mail the embassy, but If that's an option I will definitely be there, and you do have a point, with me there we'll BOTH be less nervous because we'll have each other there. Thanks for the input and good luck with everything ;)
