Should I bring the petitioner to my immigrant visa interview? It is not a requirement that the petitioner be present during the interview in any of the visa categories. Please be advised that the Immigrant Visa Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo is interviewing ALL visa categories, including F2A and F2B.

It is not a requirement that the petitioner be present during the interview in any of the visa categories. However, in some cases being able to speak with the spouse and/or fiancé(e) may help confirm the relationship, although it is not mandatory or required. It’s not permitted to bring your phone into the embassy, so carry a photo album, printed photos or correspondence that demonstrate how the relationship has evolved over time to support the case.
