You do know they aren't going to let you into the embassy with him, right? He has to have his passport and his paperwork to get in. The guard will stop you at the door and make you wait outside.

Wait...I thought that we were allowed to be present (as in in the same room or whatever) for the interview? Now I'm confused...

Ive heard that as well with the US embassy, I know here in Canada when Rup went to get his US visa no one was allowed in except him unless the person needed an interpreter or they were all applying for the visa.

Nope. You can't even enter the embassy. He will be allowed with his appointment paper and his passport. He will have to show these to security just to get in. Then, he will have to go through metal detectors, join a line (ha! in Jamaica, imagine that) and show that person the same stuff just to get to the window he needs to get to. There's no "room" per se. He will be called to a window (or several) to explain stuff and for his actual interview. You will be stuck outside, on the streets of Kingston, waiting. I, too, had read of others who went with their finances. Those are old posts. Security concerns limit the number of people allowed in government buildings to JUST those needing to be there. You are not of any help to him in this interview. Thus, you are not allowed.

Also, he won't get the visa right away. After the interview, he will have to go to the paymaster and pay the $40 delivery fee. They will deliver it to him in roughly 4 business days. So, if you go and wait, take into account weekends.

Security concerns.
