Immigrant visa applicants at the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo now have the option to bring their petitioners to join them during visa interviews. This change could potentially streamline the interview process as consular officers often find it helpful to interact with the entire family, possibly minimizing the need for additional inquiries.
The presence of petitioners offers numerous benefits. They can offer emotional support during extended wait times, help applicants answer questions, and provide physical assistance if required.
To attend, petitioners must present a valid government-issued identification, like a passport or cédula, upon entering the embassy. This new policy is aimed at ensuring a smooth and efficient interview experience.
