Is there a specific interview for the L-2?

The L-2 visa is intended for dependents (spouses and minor children) of L-1 visa holders, which is used by professionals transferred within the same company. This category allows family members to accompany the primary visa holder while they work in the United States. Understanding the nuances of this process can help avoid surprises and ensure that all steps are completed in accordance with immigration laws.

Regarding the interview for the L-2 visa, the situation may vary depending on the U.S. consulate or embassy responsible for reviewing the case. In many instances, L-2 applicants may be called for an interview as part of the application process. However, there are situations where the interview may be waived, depending on the candidate’s profile and other administrative factors adopted by each consular post.

This means that although the interview is common, it is not a mandatory step in every case. It is important to remember that strictly following immigration laws is essential. Therefore, it is crucial to follow all the guidance provided by the consulate or embassy, be prepared with the required documentation, and follow instructions that may change over time.

In cases of doubt, seeking companies or professionals specializing in immigration can help avoid incorrect information or easy promises, often associated with scams and marketing campaigns, which can jeopardize your process. Staying well informed and periodically checking the official communication channels of the United States is one of the best ways to ensure that your process proceeds correctly and safely.
