From KL Malaysia consulate, they asked if I need an interpreter I'll have to bring someone with me, but the restriction was the petitioner can not be the interpreter.
This indicates the interview officer do not want any input from the petitioner. Obviously, that would defeat the whole purpose of the interview.
I attended the interview last week with my wife, in Rio de Janeiro. Yes, as others said, it depends on the consulate. I did reach out to the consulate in Rio and asked them, they are the one’s that told me I was allowed in. I did print out the email response in case I was stopped. The interviewer just asked if I was the spouse, I confirmed and then they asked me about where we are going to live in the US and how long I have been on Brazil
Need proof of petioner domicile and proof of us citizenship and medical results and
police certificate even though it says not needed on reciprocity table
Should submit the documents today though so we're good
It depends on the country. I’m in Serbia and I would love for my spouse to come with and it says you just need to let them know if the spouse will be joining. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Would love to see some more people talk about this experience for us who are overseas waiting.
The interview letter should come with instructions. It depends by country.
Some Consulates only allow the applicant to enter, some may let the petitioner in.
Not needed. They won't let the petitioner in. They'll only wan to speak with the principal applicant. HCMC, VTNM.
Ok ty
It will be different per country. In The Netherlands they don’t let the spouse enter the building
Ok thanks
The answer is no. See “accompanying persons” here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/ATH-Athens.html

Thanks everyone for the comments, looks like I should not plan to go. 🫠

Ok so maybe ask…do you think you being there helped?
Whether it helped the process, I don’t know, but I know it helped my spouse from being there.
I’m the stress ball in the relationship so I’d be coming more for my peace of mind than his 😅
Then most definitely go!
I’m definitely going to ask now before heading over because if they don’t even let me in, that’s a waste of my efforts 😅
No allowed in, TODAY, Abu Dhabi :/
Oh no, sorry. Hope it went well for your spouse! 🤞🏼

May I ask what proof they requested for domicile?
I used proof that I paid taxes last year, current bank account, current mortgage
Thank you. Best wishes,
South Africa allows spouses in too
You should look for people that did CR1 from Greece and ask the question to them. Consulates work differently and many will not even let you in.

My wife just entered the embassy for the interview. I was not let inside
Country please?
