Q: Will I be able to take my kid into the US immigration visa interview?

A: No, he will likely not be allowed in with you.

Accompanying Persons

________________________________________

Attorneys are not permitted to accompany clients into the consulate. The following persons may accompany a visa applicant to their interview:

• Interpreter: Applicants may bring ONE interpreter if they do not speak English or French well enough to participate in an interview.

• Special Needs Visitors: Applicants may bring ONE person to help if they are elderly or disabled.

A: In general, children who are not applying for a visa themselves are not required to attend the U.S. immigration visa interview. However, it is ultimately up to the discretion of the U.S. Consulate or Embassy where the interview is taking place to decide whether or not to allow the child to attend.

In your specific situation, since your child is a U.S. citizen and not applying for a visa, it is unlikely that he will be required to attend the interview. However, it may still be a good idea to contact the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in Montreal in advance to confirm their policies and procedures regarding children attending visa interviews.

If you do decide to bring your child with you to the interview, it is important to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation for him, including his U.S. passport and any other relevant identification or travel documents. You should also prepare your child in advance for the interview process and what to expect.

Overall, while it is possible that your child may be allowed to attend the U.S. immigration visa interview with you, it is not guaranteed and ultimately depends on the policies and procedures of the specific Consulate or Embassy where the interview is taking place.
