K-2 Minor attending interview

[Jeremy + Kristy 0]

Still haven't received an answer from Montreal, nor their form letter, as to whether or not a seven-year-old has to attend the interview, or not.

Does anyone have a definitive answer? We'll need to stay two nights if she has to come, too. It wouldn't be fun for her to spend 18 out of 36 hours in a car.

I'm pretty sure she doesnt have to attend. I think if they are over 14 or 16, then they have to go. MTL cannot ask a 7 year old questions.

Hmm, that wasn't in our Packet 4. It also talks of "immigrant" visas on that page. K-1 and K-2 are "non-immigrant." And she is a "beneficiary" of my petition, is she not? Just her Mom is the primary beneficiary, and she's derivative.

Yeah, so it almost sounds like she fits under the 'does not need to attend criteria'.

Guess this letter is not really helpful to you, yet it 'hints' at help

Exactly, based on that, and what I've read on other consulate's websites, I thought under 14 they don't need to attend. My gut says that she doesn't, but if we're members of this website then we can all agree that what we think is sane is not really the reality when it comes to immigration.
