Is there a separate interview for the spouse on the TD?

When it comes to the TD visa – the visa intended for dependents (spouse and children) of the professional who holds the TN visa – it is natural for doubts to arise about whether a separate interview is required for the spouse. Generally, the TD visa application process is integrated with the TN visa holder”s process, which means that it is not common for dependents to be automatically subjected to an individual interview at consular posts.

It is important to note that each United States consulate or embassy may have slightly different practices, and in certain specific situations, a consular officer may request that the spouse or even the children attend an additional interview. However, in most cases, when the documentation is complete and the spouse applies as a dependent on the TD visa, the interview is conducted jointly or the process is reviewed without the need for a separate interview.

Nevertheless, regardless of how the process develops in each case, it is essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws and procedures. It is always recommended to seek updated information through official sources and to learn about the specific requirements of the consulate or embassy where the application will be submitted. Furthermore, having all the correct and supporting family relationship documentation will help avoid delays and complications.

It is worth remembering that the immigration field may be subject to changes and that local practices can vary. Therefore, it is always prudent to consult official information channels or, if preferred, seek the guidance of specialized professionals, always aiming to avoid falling victim to scams or campaigns that guarantee miraculous results. Staying well informed is the best strategy to correctly follow the immigration process.
