Is it mandatory to bring my children to the adjustment of status interview?

The adjustment of status process can raise questions about the procedures related to the presence of family members at the interview. Each case has its particularities, so it is important to carefully analyze the instructions issued by USCIS.

Regarding the children accompanying the EB-2 NIW visa holder, the USCIS notification letter will generally specify who must attend the interview. In many cases, if the children are minors, the agency may exempt them from mandatory attendance at the interview. However, this will depend on the guidelines of that specific process and the circumstances involved.

Therefore, it is essential to read and follow the instructions described in the notification sent by USCIS. Even if the children’s presence is not officially required, it is advisable that parents clarify any doubts with official sources or consult qualified specialists to avoid any misunderstandings.

It is worth remembering that strictly following immigration laws and staying informed through reliable sources helps to avoid traps, scams, or misleading information with unrealistic promises. Maintaining contact with official channels and resorting to professionals specialized in the area, always with the aim of getting informed and properly guided, is a fundamental practice for those going through the immigration process. This way, you ensure that all procedures are correct and that the rights of each family member are preserved.
