Q: Should I visit my wife before her consular interview?
So, me and my wife get married on March 2018 outside U.S. She lives in Pakistan. After me coming back to U.S I filed for her petition but case got stuck for all these months. But, she has few months before interview. My question is I didnt visit her since 2018. Does during interview will they ask her if i visit her in-between after I getting married? And should i visit her. Just confuse that during interview they might ask her why i didnt visit her?
A: Hi there, Generally you are not required to appear at the interview with your wife. However, be prepared to present documents showing your ongoing communication during the time when you lived separately ( copies of the Skype, phone, social media communication, etc. )- help your wife to collect all of those. Be also prepared to explain why you have never visited her since March 2018 ( most likely they will ask her). Good luck!
